The Okavango Delta is a giant oasis of rich grasslands, forests and abundant water waterways that attracts millions of animals and birds. Choosing to safari with your family in the Okavango delta will provide you with a very active and fulfilling safari experience on Botswana.
Around the area of Stanley’s there are large herds of elephant, many plains game particularly buffalo, antelope and zebra, graceful giraffe and a host of smaller creatures. Stanley’s is also a good place for seeing the predators such as lion, leopard and cheetah. There are many activities and ways in which to enjoy your surroundings at Stanley’s camp you can game drive during the day and night, enjoy a walk with an armed guide or be poled along the sparkling waterways in a mokoro canoe.
The camp is perfect for families with children over eight years old accommodating guests in eight very spacious tents, with proper beds, antique furniture, oriental carpets and en suite w.c and shower, and at the front of each tent is a balcony. The main building is raised on decking and provides expansive views over the surrounding floodplains and is set among ancient trees.
Stanley’s Camp is especially attractive for families as there is the additional activity of an elephant interaction. The camp has three elephants that are semi-habituated to the presence of people and children love to spend time with them, touching them, watch them interact, listen to the sounds by which they communicate and take a foraging walk with them through the bush as they move silently on their giant feet and occasionally tear branches off trees. This is a thrilling experience and one that gives you a privileged insight to the habits and lifestyle of these ancient creatures. Children marvel at their big ears, thoughtful eyes and enormous padded feet.
