Daka Plains Camp: Our full report
First opened on the 1st of June 2019 Daka Plains Camp is located in the north-west of Hwange National Park ...
... close to the border with Botswana. This is a small and intimate camp in an incredibly isolated and wild area of the park. In late 2022 the camp changed hands and was rebranded from Deka Camp to Daka Plains. The information here will be updated soon following a recent visit.Deka Camp has just six tents nestled on a small hill overlooking the Deka seeps, one of the only permanent water sources for miles around.
Although we are yet to visit Deka Camp we are familiar with this northern section of the park. While it can be a wildlife rich area the real draw is the isolation from other camps in the park, and on previous visits we've driven for hours without coming across any other vehicles.
The activities on offer at Deka will include game drives, walking safaris and night drives in the camps concession and further afield into the national park.
