Accommodations
1. Stanley's Camp, an A&K Sanctuary
Botswana, Okavango Delta
Stanley's Camp is a classic tented camp built under an imposing African Ebony tree on a private concession overlooking the Okavango floodplains. Each season the area around the camp changes from lush green when the rain flows down from the Angolan highlands to dry savannah when the Kalahari Desert tightens its grip. The canvas tents are individually designed, with a classic and understated elegance, that hark back to the explorers of the 19th century. The camp is not air-conditioned, and each tent features a ceiling fan, en-suite bathroom with indoor shower, hairdryer, in-room safe, and large private wooden deck. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available. The main camp features the bar, library, curio shop, lounge and dining area with incredible views over the floodplains.
