Here you will be met at our private airstrip by our Camp Managers, and taken to our elevated main lodge area for a welcoming refreshment, and then shown to your en-suite spacious tented accommodation, which consists of seven spacious, Kenya - style tents. For those wanting a bit more romance, we have an elevated thatched honeymoon chalet overlooking the main channel of the Delta, with a private veranda. At Gunn’s Camp we have achieved a fine balance of comfort without isolating one’s self from the sights and sounds of nature.  

The main activities are mokoro (traditional dug out canoes) powerboat excursions, and guided game walks with our experienced guides who have spent their lives accumulating knowledge and understanding of the complex ecosystem of the Okavango Delta. As they show how to silently observe nature with minimal impact you will begin to realize the privilege and quiet excitement of being in one of those places that makes memories for you.

Chiefs Island where your activities take place offers one the of largest populations of African wildlife in the Delta area. Sightings may include lion , leopard , elephant , buffalo and packs of wild dog running across the plains of the Delta. Our concession is also home to hippo , crocodiles , plains zebra and a variety of buck ,including the red lechwe.

Gunn’s Camp is renowned for being a birders paradise, with over 240 species of bird including the rare Pel’s Fishing Owl and the endangered Wattled Crane.

In the evenings you can relax in our elevated main lodge, or lie in the swimming pool sipping your drink watching the majesty of the African sunset, whilst reflecting on your day with fellow guests.
