Overlooking the
legendary Chiefs Island and bordering the Moremi Game Reserve,
Gunn's Camp is one of the last few remaining luxury, vintage
safari camps. Set under leafy palms and African Ebony to blend
naturally with its unique surroundings, Gunn's Camp achieves a
fine balance of comfort without isolating guests from the
sights and sounds of the wilderness.
Your African
experience starts with a twenty minute light aircraft transfer
from Maun over the south-western Delta, taking in the
magnificence of the winding, papyrus fringed channels that
make up one of the worlds greatest wet land wonders. You
will be able to see some of Africa's most celebrated animals
from a bird's eye view – 500 FT above the ground.
The flagship accommodation offering at Gunn's Main Camp
consists of seven fully furnished, deluxe Kenya-style meru
tents with en-suite bathrooms set on raised platforms
overlooking the delta plains. The honeymoon suite is built
into one of the ancient African Ebony trees and demands
unsurpassable views of the meandering waterways. The island is
connected to the main camp by a small causeway crossing the
wetlands and magically lit by a series of fairylike lanterns.
Guests have access to the elevated bar, lounge and dining
room, campfire boma and swimming pool.
Mokoro
excursions
Become part of
the bustling river life by easing between the papyrus clad
banks on traditional ‘mokoro' canoes. These are propelled
from the stern by skilled ‘poler' guides, allowing the
guests to sit back and absorb the scenery. For full day trips,
Gunn's Camp prepares delicious picnic lunches which can be
enjoyed on a Delta island after an exhilarating bush walk.
Bush-Walks
Explore the
wilderness on foot under the guidance and education of your
own personal guide. Feel your senses ignite as you become part
of life in the bush and encounter game without the parameters
of a vehicle.
Island
Camping
The camp
managers will pack your mokoro with basic camping equipment
and food so that you can set out with your own personal guide
to find an island where you will set up camp. The evening will
be spent preparing dinner around the campfire in the company
of Africa's nocturnal wildlife.
Motor-boat
sunset cruises
A great way to
explore the crystal clear channels of the Boro River,
motor-boat cruises are organised in time to toast the
unprecedented African sunsets while drifting on a lagoon in
the middle of the Okavango Delta.
Watch as the mutating colours are reflected in the smooth
waters, disturbed only by dipping swallows or curious hippos.
