Wildlife
History
Baines Baobab is named after 19th-century artist-explorer Thomas Baines and sits within landscape long inhabited by San and Tswana peoples.
Conservation
The Okavango’s seasonal flood is the region’s lifeline—low-impact tourism and sticking to marked routes help protect fragile island habitats and conserve water-dependent wildlife.

Pack layered clothing
Early mornings are cool and midday sun is intense—bring a warm layer for dawn safaris and breathable sun layers for the day.

Carry optics and spare batteries
Binoculars and extra camera batteries are useful—power access can be limited at remote lodges.
Lightweight layers (fleece & windbreaker)
Cool mornings and warm afternoons demand adaptable clothing.
