Daunara Safari Camp, offers a luxurious and immersive experience in Botswana’s Okavango Delta and the perfect balance of thrilling safaris and serious relaxation.

Our senior consultant, Ilze Fox shares her experience after an unforgettable trip to this wild paradise, where she immersed herself in all of its its magic!

"Having recently visited Daunara Safari Camp, I can confidently say this is a camp that delivers comfort, exclusivity, and a true connection to the wild. From the moment I arrived – via a quick and easy helicopter transfer from Maun – I felt at home."

***"It's perfect for Families & Intimate Getaways"***
The design of the lodge is warm and inviting, perfect for families looking for an exclusive-use safari experience, though independent travelers will also love the intimate and luxurious feel. The main lounge and dining area is beautifully furnished, and the pool deck is the perfect spot for a relaxed lunch with a view.

***"The food was a definite highlight!***

Chef Letty creates wholesome, delicious meals with a touch of flair, and I loved the variety of fresh salads at lunch.

***"The small details that make a big difference"***

The rooms are incredibly comfortable, and the air-conditioning is a real win. The snack and drinks station (bonus points for the M&Ms and biscuits!), and a thoughtfully placed charging station next to the bed are small details that make a big difference. The bathrooms are huge, with twin basins and an outdoor shower with spectacular views.

***"The guiding was exceptional!"***

Fred’s passion for the bush was contagious, and the bush walk was one of the best I’ve ever done – we were right in the heart of the action, with a herd of elephants calling to each other just 30m away! The night drive was another standout, setting Daunara apart from many other camps. This was a true nocturnal safari. It was super exciting to head out after dark and only return hours later!

***"The Daunara Foundation stole my heart."***

Lebogang’s passion for community upliftment is inspiring, and visiting this project added real depth to my experience.

***"The staff were warm, welcoming, and so wonderfully attentive."***

Without being overbearing. The gym is well-equipped, and the small details – like daily checks to ensure everything is spotless – didn’t go unnoticed.

Daunara Safari Camp is a must-visit for those seeking privacy, adventure, and meaningful connections – both with nature and the people who make this place special. We highly recommended it!

We love Natural Selection’s safari camps! They prioritise wildlife conservation and care for communities and their intimate camps connect the two – creating a safari experience that can’t be replicated anywhere else.

Tawana, set deep in the awe-inspiring wilds of the Moremi Game Reserve in the Okavango Delta, is a new addition to their portfolio. The camp honors the Batawana tribe, who have called this land home for centuries. Chief Tawana has teamed up with Natural Selection to protect this pristine ecosystem for future generations while creating much-needed opportunities for his community.

If you're looking for genuine encounters with all the creature comforts, put Tawana on your wishlist. There’s so much to love:

***Just eight beautifully designed suites set along the waterways
***Three of these are family rooms, each with private plunge pools
***The camp is unfenced, allowing the wildlife to wander right through the heart of the camp.
***Privately guided game drives promising up-close sightings of antelope, predators and large herbivores
***Serene mokoro trips through the Delta’s hidden channels
*** Eco-luxury at its finest!

Lost in the vastness... We love how this image so perfectly captures a quiet moment of wonder and awe in NamibRand's Quiet Reserve.

Kwessi Dunes is a great place for a family adventure, especially if you're looking for an educational and scenic environment where kids can decompress and lose themselves within the vast, open and evocative spaces of the Namib.

Surrounded by surreal landscapes and red sand dunes, there's fun to be had for everyone at this remote retreat. Game drives, hot air ballooning, and guided walks to discover the Namib's fascinating desert-adapted wildlife will fill your days, all within the serene quiet and solitude of this extraordinary place.

Stargazing here is truly off the charts, thanks to the reserve’s Dark Sky status. Kwessi has special 'Star Gazer' suites where you can sleep out under the stars in their unique sky beds – a billion stars the only thing between you and the great unknown...

Stunning images from Anabezi Camp in Zambia, capturing the beauty of these incredible creatures and a rare Apex predator encounter.

Every year, Southern Right and Humpback whales make their way along the coast of Southern Africa as they migrate from Antarctic waters to breed and calve. This incredible journey brings these gentle giants close to shore, making the Cape one of the best places in the world to witness them from both land and sea.
