within the world renowned Moremi Game Reserve. Okuti has recently been rebuilt amidst the
wilderness of one of Botswana's prime game viewing regions.

vehicles, allowing unhindered views for game viewing and photography. Moremi is a park rich in
wildlife and game viewing is consistent year round so it is ideal for the first time visitor to
Botswana. In addition to game drives guests can explore the delta waterways by motorboat - from
open lagoons to winding channels it is a birder's paradise, especially for herons and storks in the

Day 3
Light aircraft flight (seat rate) to Stanley’s Camp.
Stanley's Camp is situated on a private concession, bordering the southern section of the famous
Moremi Game Reserve, thus affording guests absolute exclusivity. The area is home to a wide
variety of big game including elephant, buffalo, giraffe, hippo, lion, leopard, cheetah and wild dog.
Sanctuary Stanley's is a classic tented camp with just 8 tents built around an imposing sausage
tree on a private concession overlooking the Okavango floodplains. The area around the camp
changes with the seasons - from lush green when the rain flows down from the Angolan
highlands to dry savannah when the Kalahari Desert tightens its grip.
Each canvas tent at Sanctuary Stanley's boasts a traditional ceiling fan and is individually
designed, but all have a classic and understated elegance that harks back to the explorers and
colonialists of the 19th century. Large wooden decks provide private areas for guests to relax in
hammocks or enjoy cocktails before dinner in the spectacular dining mess.
Stanley's Camp [Fully Inclusive]
Day 4
Sanctuary Stanley’s Camp is set in a private concession giving visitors the opportunity to venture
out at night on exciting game drives to see the many nocturnal animals that live here. The
evening drive starts after sundown cocktails, using a spotlight to winkle out elusive nocturnal
creatures including the ones that are easier to catch a glimpse of in the dark, like hyena and
leopard.
The Okavango Delta is of course flooded for much of the year and when it is, guests can
experience serene silence at the gentle pace of a poled mokoro excursion along the narrow Delta
channels. Guests can sit back and relax as they glide through lily ponds on local dugout canoes
while they get eye to eye with a buffalo as it laps water from the river, watch crocodiles sunbathe
on the banks or cruise past a pod of hippos as they lie in a pool.
Sanctuary Stanley’s professional guides accompany guests as they learn about the bush from a
different perspective, up close and personal with the environment. Walking safaris is the perfect
way to awaken ones senses where guests can touch, feel and smell the African bush while
listening to the various interesting stories the guides have to tell. Walks allow guests to read the
news of the night in the smooth sand of the road. Lion, leopard, elephants, genets and even
millipedes are all part of the signs, each with their story to tell. Walking safaris is about seeing the
small five and the various flora in the area.
