Duba Plains Camp

  The activities at Duba concentrate on day and night game drives and walks. Mokoro trips are also possible in times of good floods - usually only between May and September.This pristine area is home to lion, leopard, lechwe, tsessebe, warthog, elephant and huge herds of buffalo. Thousands of buffalo take advantage of the rich grasslands found in the Duba area and they alone support the concentrations of lions and hyenas that prey on them. These huge buffalo herds are hunted almost daily by up to four different prides of lions which live in and around Duba Plains. The lion-hyena interactions are incredible as both species compete for the same prey and most kills eventually result in the presence of both these super-predators.  If the lions hunt during the day, guests are usually provided with wonderful photo opportunities. The Duba area has productive spotted hyena dens that offer great hyena pup viewing.  Aardwolf sightings are one of the specialties of Duba Plains. Birding is excellent at Duba Plains and most of the Okavango Delta's renowned birdlife is found in the area including Swamp Boubou, Hartlaub's Babbler and Swamp Nightjar. At certain times of the year, the abundance of waterbirds along the flooded areas and water pans is exceptional - a multitude of herons, egrets, lapwings and jacanas are seen.
