Baines' Lodge

Newly rebuilt in 2025, Baines’ Lodge is an intimate safari lodge located on the Boro River in Botswana’s Okavango Delta. With just six chic and understated suites raised on stilts, the lodge offers a unique water-based safari experience. The lodge features elegant interiors with open-plan spaces that seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living, framing stunning views of the Delta. Its commitment to sustainability is evident in the use of responsibly sourced timber that can be removed without a trace after 20 years. Communal areas include a Bush Boutique, an Explorer’s Lounge equipped with educational tools, and a swimming pool overlooking the Delta. Baines’ Lodge provides a luxurious and immersive experience in a prime location within the UNESCO-listed Okavango Delta, offering unparalleled wildlife viewing and a range of activities to explore this unique wetland wilderness.
