Gunn’s Camp is currently closed. As soon as we have updates, we’ll let you know.

Overlooking Chiefs Island, bordering Moremi Game Reserve, Gunn’s Camp is one of the last few remaining luxury vintage safari camps to stay in the Okavango Delta, Botswana.

Set under leafy palms and African Ebony, to blend naturally with its unique surroundings; Gunn’s Camp achieves a fine balance of comfort without isolating guests from the sights and sounds of the wilderness. Your African experience starts with a twenty minute light aircraft transfer from Maun; over the southwestern Delta; taking in the magnificence of the winding, papyrus fringed channels that make up one of the world’s greatest wetland wonders. You will be able to see some of Africa’s most celebrated animals from a bird’s eye view. On arrival at the private airstrip on Ntswi Island, deep in the Okavango Delta; you will be met by welcoming hosts and shown to the Camp.

Gunn’s Camp Accommodation

Gunn’s Camp is set on raised platforms overlooking the delta plains; consisting of seven fully furnished, deluxe Kenyan Meru tents with en suite bathrooms. The honeymoon suite is built into one of the ancient African Ebony trees; and demands unsurpassed views of the meandering waterways. The island is connected to the main camp by a small causeway crossing the wetlands and lit by a series of fairy like lanterns. Guests have access to the elevated bar, lounge and dining room, campfire boma, and swimming pool.

Gunn’s Camp Child policy:

The minimum age at Gunn’s Camp is 12 years. Children younger than 12 are only accepted when reserving the entire camp for exclusive use.
Families with kids under the age of 12 years can be booked into Moremi Crossing, in the same concession
When the child reaches 16 years, the full adult rates apply.

Activities

Activities are mokoro excursions and guided game walks on Chief’s Island; just across the Boro River that separates it from Ntswi Island. One guide is allocated to two guests. The guide then transports you in his mokoro to various sections of the game reserve; where you commence your walk. Guides converse in English and point out not only the big game but also bird and plant life. Guests can learn anything from plants and their medicinal uses to birds and their calls. It is an amazing way to experience the delta and many guests leave appreciating the smaller life as opposed to just the normal big five!
