Stanley's is an intimate camp, gathered around a large sitting and dining area which affords magnificent views over the floodplains of the southern Okavango Delta. From the swimming pool, watch giraffe and other plains game march across the savannah. You might even catch a glimpse of rare wild dogs stalking the plains. This is one of the best places in the world for seeing buffalo in large numbers, with herds often exceeding 2,000.
Each canvas tent at 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.
Game viewing in the area is generally good with excellent numbers of predators and plains game on offer. This area is a long way south of the panhandle, so receives the floods for a short and unpredictable amount of time, so in general the focus here is on dry land activities.
