DUKES EAST

Dukes East

Set on a remote island in the northern reaches of Botswana’s Okavango Delta, Duke’s East is the newest addition to the Duke’s Camp collection—offering a more exclusive, private safari experience. Located within a vast, untouched concession adjacent to the Moremi Game Reserve, this intimate retreat is surrounded by permanent channels, floodplains, and woodlands teeming with wildlife.

Designed for guests seeking enhanced seclusion and personalized service, Duke’s East combines the romance of a traditional safari with all the comforts of modern luxury. It’s an ideal destination for families, couples, or private groups looking for a tailor-made Delta experience.

Accommodations

Duke’s East comprises four spacious canvas suites, each elevated on wooden decking and positioned for privacy and panoramic views. The interiors reflect a classic safari style with thoughtful touches—brass fittings, richly textured fabrics, and antique campaign furnishings—that evoke a timeless elegance.

Each suite features an en-suite bathroom with a flush toilet, hot indoor and outdoor showers, and a private deck where guests can enjoy morning coffee or sunset views across the floodplains. The camp is powered by solar energy, ensuring a light environmental footprint without sacrificing comfort.

The small size of the camp allows for a fully personalized experience, with a private guide and vehicle available to each group.

Activities

Duke’s East offers a flexible and immersive safari program, curated around the interests of each guest:

• Mokoro and Boating Excursions: Water levels permitting, guests can explore the Delta’s channels by mokoro or boat, gliding past papyrus reeds and encountering aquatic species and rare birds.

• Walking Safaris: Guided bush walks offer a deeper understanding of the landscape and its inhabitants, focusing on animal tracks, plants, and the subtle signs of the wild.
