Sanctuary Stanley’s Camp, Okavango Delta

Set amid 260,000 acres of untamed African bush, in a private concession of the renowned Okavango Delta, is Sanctuary Stanley’s Camp – a traditional tented safari camp with a chic designer edge. As a partner of the Living Elephants Foundation, the camp’s main draw – other than it’s incredible setting – is the unique opportunity to interact with elephants as you accompany them on a once-in-a-lifetime walk through the wild.

A main communal area stands as the focal point of the camp and affords magnificent views over the vast floodplains. Here, guests can relax in a delightfully rustic-chic setting whilst keeping an eye out for any big game wandering the Delta. And, with several active hyena dens close by, wild dog sightings from this spot are near enough guaranteed.

With just 10 luxury canvas tents, Stanley’s Camp strives to offer a personal and sophisticated atmosphere. All tents are fresh, bright and airy with simple yet sleek furnishings that make for a modern twist on the traditional safari camp experience – think elegant four poster beds, floor to ceiling ‘windows’ and earthy tones throughout. And, aiding the ultra-luxe twist is the addition of a compact gym and yoga ‘bag’ in all rooms. Take your mat out onto your private deck and you could enjoy prime game viewing whilst practising your best lotus position.

Dining is an all-inclusive affair at the camp. Fuel up for a day of game drives with a hearty full English, enjoy a sumptuous three-course lunch and sip on artisan cocktails on an afternoon game drive before being treated to an intimate dinner on your private deck.
