Overlooking the legendary Chief’s 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 whilst embracing 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 world’s greatest wetland 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.

Gunn’s Camp consists of 6 fully furnished, deluxe Kenya-style meru tents with en-suite bathrooms featuring standalone baths and outside private showers.

Set on raised platforms overlooking the delta plains Gunn’s Camp is ideal for honeymooners or guests looking for a more intimate and personalized safari experience.

The accommodation area is connected to the main camp via raised wooden walkway crossing the wetlands and magically lit by a series of fairy like lanterns.

Guests have access to the elevated bar, lounge and dining room, campfire boma and swimming pool.

Safari Experience

Gunn’s Camp overlooks legendary Chief’s Island – herds of elephants and buffalos roaming the island can be seen from the comfort of the tent’s verandah or elevated lounge deck.

Our True Delta activities include motor boat cruises, mokoro excursions and guided game walks. There are no game drives.

The walks take place on Chief’s Island, in the Moremi Game Reserve, separated from Ntswi Island by the Boro River channel.

Each guide takes two guests by mokoro to different areas of the Reserve, where the focus is not solely on the larger species but learning about the habits of the smaller animals, sighting birds and learning their calls, as well as identifying plant-life and their medicinal uses.

Guides converse in English and offer a rare insight into the unique phenomenon of the Delta, with guests appreciating how important the “little things” are to this diverse ecosystem.

With their day and night grunting, pools of hippos in front of the camp create an unforgettable african experience.

An abundance of birdlife can be observed in the camp.
