Sanctuary Chief’s Camp

Chief's Island, Moremi Game Reserve, Botswana

A luxury camp on Chief’s Island within Moremi, one of the most storied wildlife-viewing areas in the Okavango Delta.

Overview

Sanctuary Chief’s Camp sits on Chief’s Island within Moremi Game Reserve, an area long reserved for the exclusive use of local chiefs and now recognised as one of the most game-rich sections of the entire Okavango Delta.

Rooms & Table

The Rooms

Spacious suites with private decks and plunge pools, each with views over the surrounding floodplain.

Food & Service

A refined dining programme served with Delta views, consistent with Sanctuary Retreats’ broader luxury standards.

Activities

Game drives across Chief’s Island’s floodplain and woodland, with seasonal boating and mokoro excursions.

Wildlife & Photography

Chief’s Island holds one of the highest concentrations of lion and leopard found anywhere in the Okavango Delta, alongside large elephant and buffalo herds.

A Photographer's Note

Chief’s Island’s open floodplain gives clear sightlines for predator photography, with less vegetation obstruction than much of the wider Delta.

Conservation & Impact

The camp supports Moremi Game Reserve’s broader conservation funding, one of Botswana’s oldest and most significant protected wildlife areas.
