The Detail
Baines' Camp prides itself on offering impeccable personalized service, luxurious accommodation, and attention to detail, ensuring an unforgettable safari experience.
Baines’ Camp offers five luxurious Suites, elevated on platforms overlooking the shimmering Boro River. Each suite features an opulent outdoor bathroom with a bathtub and shower, spacious bedrooms with a four-poster bed that can be wheeled out onto the deck, mosquito netting, comfortable seating, overhead fan, in-room safe, hairdryer, minibar, Wi-Fi, and a wooden viewing deck.
The camp facilities include a dining area, lounge, bar, laundry service, swimming pool with salas, and an expansive viewing deck.
There are flexible meal times at Baines’ Camp. Delectable breakfasts, brunches, and lunches are prepared and served to suit your activities and personal preferences. Guests may select bush brunches or lunch picnics, or enjoy gourmet meals in the verandah-style dining room.
The Okavango is famed for its big cats and birdlife, and guests can participate in a variety of game and bird-viewing activities. Expert guides accompany guests on morning and evening game drives. During higher water levels, game drives are combined with motorized boating excursions. Walking safaris afford the opportunity to track and follow Okavango wildlife, and to learn about the plants, birds, and habitats of this wilderness. Alternatively, guests may pole along the tranquil waterways in a mokoro and view the animals from the water.
The Living with Elephants activity is a must-do. This leisurely walk with two semi-habituated elephants is an extraordinarily enriching experience, giving guests a chance for personal interaction with these gentle giants.
Sanctuary Baines' Camp is ideal for solo explorers, couples, and families looking for a luxury safari getaway.

"Jolene was simply extraordinary. She put together what became an absolutely incredible African trip for us in the space of barely three weeks, and from the outset her responsiveness, knowledge and genuine enthusiasm were exceptional. Nothing was ever too much trouble, responses were almost immediate, and she very quickly understood exactly what we were looking for, our expectations and the way we like to travel. More than simply being an expert at what she does, Jolene genuinely cared about making the trip special for us, and that came through in every aspect of her planning. What particularly impressed us was the flexibility with which she brought everything together. We already had some of our own arrangements in place, including international flights and staying with friends in Cape Town, but Jolene seamlessly incorporated those into the overall itinerary and still organised all the surrounding logistics and transfers. The safari component she designed was outstanding, taking us through Kruger, Victoria Falls, Chobe and the Okavango Delta, before finishing in Cape Town and the Stellenbosch wine region. Every part flowed beautifully and the lodges, experiences and logistics were exceptional. Just as importantly, Jolene stayed in contact throughout the trip at all the key moments, which made travelling so much easier. She would check us in for our internal flights and send through the boarding passes, confirm transfers the day before each pick-up, and make sure everything was in place before we ever had to think about it. That attention to detail, and the fact that she was always one step ahead, removed so much of the usual travel stress and allowed us simply to enjoy the trip. It was genuinely the trip of a lifetime, put together in an extraordinarily short timeframe, and Jolene deserves enormous credit for making it all happen. We could not recommend her highly enough."
