Stanley’s Camp is located in a private concession bordering the southern section of the Moremi Game Reserve, a region of starting contrasts with its mix of wetlands, forest, and dry savannah. This intimate tented safari camp, located on the southern tip of Chief’s Island, offers guests a pampered and luxurious safari experience

Set amidst shady ebony and sausage trees overlooking the perennial Boro River, Stanley’s offers spectacular game viewing in an area rich in birdlife, wildlife and scenic beauty. Stanley’s Camp prides itself on its impeccable service, luxurious accommodation, mouth-watering cuisine, and attention to detail, assuring the most discerning guests of a perfect African safari.

Accommodation

Stanley’s Camp offers eight individually designed canvas safari tents, raised on wooden decking. Set in a shady tree line overlooking the expansive plains in front of the camp, the tents exude understated colonial elegance. The en-suite tents, with their African antique furnishings and finely dressed handcrafted beds, have expansive private timber decks from which guests can absorb the sights and sounds of the bush in a comfortable hammock.

Wildlife

Large numbers of plains game and predators are found throughout the year. After the recent introduction of rhino to this concession, the area is home to the Big Five. Predators abound, and include several lion prides, leopards, cheetah, hyena, and the rare and endangered Wild dog. Large herds of elephant and buffalo, frequent the area. Blue wildebeest, steenbok, giraffe, greater kudu, impala, Burchell’s zebra and tsessebe abound, and the region’s flood levels attract the much-sought after water-dwelling antelope species such as sitatunga and red lechwe. There are also unexpected little gems – such as the jewelled frogs and neon-blue water lilies.

Jabu, Thembi and Morula are the three semi-habituated elephants that guests have the privilege of getting close to and they can trace the texture of their skin, or marvel at their delicate eyelashes and huge padded feet.

The area is home to over 400 species of birds, including the African fish eagle, Bateleur, Crested and Wattled cranes, Black-tailed godwit, Sacred ibis, Green pigeon and the rare and elusive Pel’s fishing owl.
