Truly amazing place!
”We stayed for 3 nights at the Duba Explorers Camp and we had the most incredible experience!!! The camp is absolutely beautiful, sitting directly on the river and surrounded by wildlife. Our guide, Kitso, and our game drives with him were simply spectacular!! We had once in a lifetime viewings, including a leopard making a kill in the water, and a pack of wild dogs saving their puppies from a lone adult male lion. Everything at this camp is top notch, from the gourmet meals (sooooo good!!) to the safari vehicles, tents, and all the staff. This place, the land, the people and the wildlife will forever be in our hearts!!! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!” Date of stay: August 2024

Breakfast beside a waterway with 10 hippos and a crocodile!
“We spent 3 wonderful nights at Duba Explorers Camp and we think it was our favorite. We awoke to lions roaring nearby, baboons howling and hippos splashing in the water below. From the porch of our lovely tented room, we could watch antelopes, warthogs and many storks and other birds close by. We saw so many animals- leopards, buffalo, lions, giraffes, hyenas, elephants, zebras, owls… The list goes on and on! Our guide, Paul, made every effort to see that our safari experience was a full one, took pains to help us get the best photos, share information about the animals’ habits and was always conscious of our safety. He and Gift took us in the mokoro through the waterway which allowed us to experience the delta from a completely different viewpoint .” Date of stay: August 2023

“We visited Duba Explorers in June 2024, for what was a magical and special trip. The camp, logistics, food, staff, game drive and overall experience is second to none. An out of this world experience and a special thank you to Matt, our guide, who was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate in answering all our questions. We would love to go back one day.” Date of stay: May 2024
