Sanctuary Chief's Island sits on the largest island in the Okavango Delta — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the last great wilderness areas on earth. The 12-tent camp offers mokoro (dugout canoe) safaris, walking safaris, and game drives across a landscape that floods seasonally, creating a constantly changing environment. The wildlife — lion, leopard, elephant, and wild dog — is the finest in Botswana.
