“Our home, where Beverly and I have lived for nearly twenty years. It was chosen because it is quite simply the best place on Earth. This place restores my spirit. It simultaneously causes my adrenalin to pump as I watch swamp lions swim across water channels to hunt thousands of lechwe and hundreds of buffalo. More recently, painted dogs and leopards have moved in. I cannot think of a more rounded Botswana safari or wildlife experience anywhere in Africa.
Duba Plains offers a perfect experience when you add the vast elephant herds of Selinda to your Botswana safari.
I did a piece of art for this camp, inspired by a male lion that Beverly had photographed here once. I deconstructed a brass clock and hammered these pieces across the wooden ‘canvas.’ It expresses how the total number of these beloved lions remaining in Africa hovers around 20,000 and are running out of time.
A safari can be personal and social; it can be about yourself whilst understanding broader conservation issues. Duba Plains is all those things.”
