Moonlight Tours Expedition – Duke’s Camp: A Luxury Safari Retreat in the Heart of the Okavango Delta

Nestled in a remote wilderness area along the northern Okavango Delta, Duke’s Camp offers an unparalleled luxury safari experience. Situated in one of Africa’s most game-rich private concessions, this unfenced camp places you right at the heart of nature, where wildlife roams freely. With renowned guides leading the way, the camp offers exceptional opportunities to witness the Big Five—lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, and more—in their natural habitat.

Duke’s Camp provides a myriad of immersive adventure activities, from game drives and mokoro excursions to bush walks and fishing. For the more daring, there are thrilling options such as hot-air balloon flights offering breathtaking views of the Okavango Delta, and night fly-camping on a remote island. Explore the area’s cultural richness with a scenic helicopter flight to Tsodilo Hills, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to over 4,500 ancient rock paintings.

Back at camp, unwind by the pool and take in the serene surroundings, or sip a drink in the elegant Persian tea tent, which offers a cozy lounge area. As night falls, gather around the firepit, share stories, and marvel at the star-studded African sky.
