Gunns Camp remains one of the best-known classic safari camps in the Okavango Delta and continues to attract travelers looking for an authentic Botswana safari without the ultra-premium pricing found at many newer luxury lodges. Positioned near the Moremi region on the edge of permanent Delta channels, Gunns Camp delivers the kind of relaxed, traditional Delta experience that first made Botswana famous.
Voyage2Africa often recommends Gunns Camp to travelers wanting strong value in a prime Okavango Delta accommodation setting while still enjoying excellent guiding, mokoro excursions, boating safaris and comfortable tented accommodation. It works particularly well for travelers who care more about the overall safari experience than over-designed luxury camps.
Some safari camps become popular because of luxury branding. Gunns Camp has earned its reputation over decades because of its location, atmosphere and consistently good safari experience.
The camp sits beside permanent water channels surrounded by palms, floodplains and island scenery that define the Okavango Delta safari experience.
Gunns Camp appeals strongly to travelers searching for Botswana safari camps that balance location, activities and affordability more realistically than some of the Delta’s ultra-expensive lodges.
Mokoro safaris and boating excursions remain central to the Gunns Camp experience, particularly during flood season when Delta channels expand through surrounding wetlands.
The camp maintains a more classic safari feel compared to some highly commercialized luxury properties, making it popular with return safari travelers and guests wanting a more relaxed Botswana experience.

Gunns Camp works particularly well for travelers wanting a traditional Okavango Delta safari camp with strong scenery and water-based activities without entering the highest Botswana safari price bracket.
It suits:
• couples
• photographers
• birders
• first-time Botswana travelers
• safari returnees
• Botswana and Victoria Falls itineraries
• safari and beach combinations
The camp also combines very well with Chobe National Park, Moremi Game Reserve and Mozambique beach holidays for broader Southern Africa journeys.
Yes. Gunns Camp is often one of the easier Botswana safari camps for first-time visitors to understand because the experience feels very classically “Okavango.” Guests can experience mokoro excursions, Delta waterways, birdlife and game viewing within a relatively accessible and well-established safari environment.
For travelers wanting to experience the Delta properly without immediately moving into ultra-premium Botswana pricing, Gunns Camp remains one of the better-positioned camps in the region.
Voyage2Africa usually recommends Gunns Camp as part of a broader Botswana itinerary rather than a standalone safari stop. The camp combines especially well with:
• Chobe National Park
• Victoria Falls
• Moremi Game Reserve
• Savuti safari regions
• Cape Town
• Mozambique beach lodges
Because Gunns Camp focuses heavily on water-based Delta experiences, we often pair it with more predator-focused safari regions to create stronger safari contrast across the itinerary.
Choosing the right Okavango Delta camp depends on safari priorities, budget expectations, seasonal flood conditions and how the property fits into the wider Botswana itinerary. Voyage2Africa helps travelers compare Gunns Camp properly against other Delta camps while structuring Botswana safaris around realistic travel flow and regional combinations.
Whether you are planning your first Botswana safari, a Delta honeymoon or a wider safari and beach holiday across Southern Africa, Voyage2Africa helps create seamless itineraries combining the Okavango Delta with Chobe, Victoria Falls, Cape Town and Mozambique.
