Review: Sanctuary Chief's Camp

On the northwestern tip of Chief's Island in the middle of the Okavango Delta and shaded by jackalberry, sausage, and rain trees, the 10 spacious thatched-roof pavilions at this camp come equipped with private viewing decks, outdoor showers, and plunge pools. A sprawling luxury suite has even more space that seamlessly transitions from indoors to the great outdoors, plus the added comfort of a personal waiter and safari guide. And speaking of safari: You’ve come to this real-life Eden to see the Big Five and some of the over 400 species of birds that call the Okavango home, which you can do from your private deck, on jeep drives, or aboard a traditional mokoro canoe that will take you down the delta’s seemingly never-ending tributaries.
