Gunn's Camp

Overlooking the legendary Chiefs 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 without isolating guests from 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 worlds greatest wet land 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.

On arrival at the private airstrip on Ntswi Island, deep in the delta, you will be met by welcoming hosts and shown to your choice of tented accommodation. The accommodation offering at Gunn's Camp is unique in that it caters for a 3-tiered market requirement:

Gunn's Main Camp:
The flagship accommodation offering at Gunn's Main Camp consists of seven fully furnished, deluxe Kenya-style meru tents with en-suite bathrooms set on raised platforms overlooking the delta plains. The honeymoon suite is built into one of the ancient African Ebony trees and demands unsurpassable views of the meandering waterways. The island is connected to the main camp by a small causeway crossing the wetlands and magically lit by a series of fairylike lanterns. Guests have access to the elevated bar, lounge and dining room, campfire boma and swimming pool.

Gunn's Bush Camp:
Gunn's Bush Camp occupies the opposite end of the extensive delta concession and functions to ensure a wonderful sense of freedom in the wilderness. Facilities include a large wooden viewing deck built over the river, the notorious Bush Camp Cave Bar and a sparkling swimming pool surrounded by tall ebony palm trees. Delicious two course meals are served from the rustic restaurant and can be enjoyed under the stars or around the campfire.

Antelope accommodation:
Gunn's Bush Camp, Antelope accommodation proudly offers the only accommodation of its kind in the Delta. With its eight mini-meru tents with full beds and linen it finds the middle ground between luxury accommodation and camping. Each tent boasts its own private wooden deck and is set on the banks of the Boro River and guests have access to shared bathroom facilities with traditional hand crafted finishes.

Buffalo accommodation
For the adventure market, Gunn's Bush Camp, Buffalo Accommodation offers pre erected, 2-man dome tents with bed rolls (including mattress, pillow and blankets), making the Delta experience accessible to large groups and the budget conscious traveller. These too are set on wooden decks on the bank of the Boro River and guests have access to a spacious ablution area designed to ensure privacy.

Activities:

Mokoro excursions
Become part of the bustling river life by easing between the papyrus clad banks on traditional 'mokoro' canoes. These are propelled from the stern by skilled 'poler' guides, allowing the guests to sit back and absorb the scenery. For full day trips, Gunn's Camp prepares delicious picnic lunches which can be enjoyed on a Delta island after an exhilarating bush walk.
