Overview

About Duke's East

Duke's East has four canvas tents beside a channel in the northern Okavango Delta. Raised decks, four-poster beds and patterned fabrics give the rooms a vintage safari feel, while outdoor showers keep the setting close. The family tent adds its own plunge pool; a shared pool, lounge and communal dining tent bring guests together between activities. Game drives explore the surrounding concession, with boating and mokoro trips governed by water levels. Children aged six and older are welcome, and the camp can be booked exclusively for family or friends.

“Four tents keep the experience intimate, with a family plunge pool and shared dining adding flexibility for families and small groups who want a sociable camp between land and water safaris.”
