Game drives led by experienced guides in 4×4 vehicles allow guests to encounter the vast array of wildlife. The day and evening game drives visit a variety of ecosystems, from deserts and savannas to lagoons and swamps. However, the highlight of any visit to Baines’ Camp is the “Living with Elephants” experience, a chance to interact with a trio of orphaned elephants adopted by Doug and Sandi Groves. The three semi-habituated elephants named Jabu, Thembi, and Morula “lead” guests on long walks as they forage for food, take showers in the lagoon, and explore the Okavango Delta. In addition, the camp offers other unique ways to explore the region, including walking safaris, mokoro (native dugout canoe), motorized boat excursions, and scenic helicopter flights.

Nestled in a grove of trees and surrounded by papyrus beds, the camp features a refreshing pool and expansive elevated viewing deck providing ideal places to view the wildlife in the lagoon below. Full English and continental breakfasts are served on the morning game drive, and a daily highlight is the elegant high tea served in the afternoon.An eco-friendly property, the camp was constructed using only commercially grown wood, with over 150,000 recycled aluminum cans used within the walls to provide insulation.
