In the eastern section of the vast Okavango Delta, lies Moremi Game Reserve, a region of startling contrasts - a waterless center of Savannah and dry woodland surrounded by lily-filled waterways, scattered floodplains, lagoons, riverine forest and palm-fringed islands. Chief Island is one of these islands and considered as having the finest game-viewing in Southern Africa.
Consistently rated by Condé Nast Traveller as one of the top safari destinations in Botswana, Chief’s Camp offers guests superb service, fine cuisine, luxurious accommodation, and exceptional opportunities to view the Big Five, all in splendid seclusion.
Chief’s Camp provides ten Luxury Pavilions and a Luxury Suite, all nestled in a shady jackalberry and sausage tree woodland.
The Luxury Pavilions feature four-poster beds draped with mosquito netting, an en-suite bathroom with a bathtub and outdoor shower, a sitting area, air conditioning, overhead fans, a private dining area, and a viewing deck with comfortable seating and a terrace pool.
The Geoffrey Kent Luxury Suite offers complete privacy and supreme comfort for up to six guests. Additional features include a kitchen, indoor lounge, private boma, and secluded deck areas. The suite comes equipped with a private vehicle, guide, chef, waiter, and housekeeper.
Facilities at the camp include a bar, library, dining area, swimming pool, spa, and a split-level main deck that boasts expansive views over the winding waterways of the floodplain.
Expert guides accompany guests on early morning and late afternoon game drives in the local area, known as the "predator capital" of Africa. During the season, tranquil mokoro trips provide a serene way to view water birds, pods of grunting hippos, and plains wildlife from the water.
Guests can enjoy scenic helicopter flights over the delta, showcasing spectacular aerial views of areas unreachable by vehicle or boat.
Large numbers of plains game and predators are found throughout the year. Following the recent introduction of rhino to this concession, the area is now home to the Big Five. Predators include several lion prides, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, and the rare and endangered wild dog. Large herds of elephant and buffalo frequent the area. Species such as blue wildebeest, steenbok, giraffe, greater kudu, impala, Burchell's zebra, and tsessebe are abundant, as are water-dwelling antelope like sitatunga and red lechwe, thanks to the region’s flood levels.
The area is also 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 Chief's Camp is ideal for solo explorers, couples, and families seeking a luxury safari getaway.
Accommodation, all meals, non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages (excluding premium brands and Champagne), all game-viewing activities, laundry services, emergency medical evacuation, park fees, and airstrip transfers.

Great advice, responsive and knowledgeable!
Pascal John at Safari.com guided me on different safari lodges (experience, rating), and most importantly knew about specials (buy 3 nights, get 4th for free) which allowed my family to secure a 5-star location at a more reasonable rate. Great advice, responsive and knowledgeable!

Leigh-Ann Croeser from Safari.com was fantastic
Leigh-Ann from Safari.com was great to work with to plan our group safari trip. She was able to get me on the priority waitlist for a lodge that I liked, which ended up working out for our group during my preferred dates. Leigh-Ann was responsive and provided various tour recommendations for us to decide on the best option for us. There were a few email and name typos from Leigh-Ann that I had to correct, but other than that, I had a great experience.

Dolan was terrific
Dolan was terrific. He got back to us immediately to answer all of our questions. And was so nice to hold a room for a couple of days because of my moms passing. It gave us time to finalize her arrangements and time to book our trip. I would highly recommend using him to book your trip!!
