Twin Queen Tent

Accommodation Description

Duke’s East is a four-tent safari camp designed for travellers seeking privacy, comfort and an intimate connection to the Okavango Delta. Each tent is raised on wooden decking beneath the shade of ebony and leadwood trees, creating a cool, peaceful retreat after time in the bush. Interiors feature a vintage safari aesthetic with rich textiles, Persian rugs, carved wooden details and either twin or four-poster double beds. En-suite bathrooms include both indoor and outdoor showers, along with solar-powered amenities that maintain comfort while keeping the experience rooted in nature. A spacious mess tent forms the heart of the camp, furnished with characterful décor and antique pieces where guests gather for meals or mid-day relaxation. A dedicated lounge area offers soft seating and views across the floodplain, while a small pool provides a refreshing break during hot afternoons. The atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming and personalised, ideal for couples, families or small groups looking for an exclusive safari base.

Setting Description

Duke’s East is located on a remote island in the northern Okavango Delta, surrounded by a striking blend of floodplains, woodland and seasonal waterways. The camp overlooks a lagoon that attracts wildlife throughout the day, creating exceptional opportunities to observe elephants, antelope, hippo and predators from the comfort of camp. This part of the Delta is known for its dynamic landscape: when the waters rise, the channels fill with life and water-based excursions become possible; when they recede, the plains open up for expansive game drives and walking safaris. The surrounding private concession is vast and lightly traversed, offering a true sense of wilderness with minimal vehicle traffic. Birdlife flourishes around the lagoon and reedbeds, and the area maintains strong populations of lion, leopard, wild dog, buffalo and plains game. Whether exploring by boat, mokoro or vehicle, guests experience a richly diverse ecosystem that shifts with the seasons and reveals new layers of the Delta’s beauty at every turn.
