The Details
Set amidst shady ebony and sausage trees overlooking the perennial Boro River, Stanley’s Camp offers spectacular game viewing in an area rich with birdlife, wildlife, and scenic beauty. Stanley’s Camp prides itself on its impeccable service, luxurious accommodation, and decadent cuisine, creating an unforgettable African safari.
Stanley’s Camp features ten individually designed canvas safari tents, raised on wooden decking. The tents exude understated elegance and include an en-suite bathroom with a shower, fan, minibar, tea and coffee-making facilities, a lounge area, hairdryer, in-room safe, bathrobes, complimentary Wi-Fi, and a viewing deck.
The camp facilities include an expansive lounge, a dining area, a swimming pool, a gym, a bar, and a laundry service.
Expert guides accompany guests on early morning and late-afternoon game drives. Guided walking safaris provide opportunities to track and follow Okavango wildlife and explore the plants, birds, and habitats of this pristine wilderness. Tranquil mokoro trips offer a soothing way to view a multitude of water birds and pods of grunting hippos up close, while also providing a unique perspective of the plains wildlife 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 rare chance for personal interaction with these gentle giants.
Large numbers of plains game and predators can be found throughout the year. Following the recent introduction of rhinos to this concession, the area is now home to the famed Big Five. Predators include several lion prides, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, and the rare and endangered wild dog. Large herds of elephants and buffalo frequently roam the area. Blue wildebeests, steenboks, giraffes, greater kudus, impalas, Burchell's zebras, and tsessebes are common, while the region's flood levels attract the much-sought-after water-dwelling antelope species, such as sitatunga and red lechwe. Additionally, the area harbors unexpected smaller gems, including frogs and neon-blue water lilies.
The region is home to over 400 species of birds, including the African fish eagle, Bateleur, crested and wattled cranes, black-tailed godwit, sacred ibis, green pigeon, and the rare and elusive Pel’s fishing owl.
Sanctuary Stanley's Camp is ideal for solo explorers, couples, and families seeking a luxurious safari getaway.

Safari Specialist - Southern Africa
Knows Sanctuary Stanley's Camp backwards. Your direct contact from first enquiry to the day you come home.
With Zené and Shann across the team.
"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."
