This is a true safari lodge, named after the famous artist and explorer John Thomas Baines, and offers a very different wildlife experience: While Baines River Camp does have the usual 4X4 game drives, much of the game viewing is done from boats on the Zambezi River and Roger and Pat have done some of their best wild life and scenic photography here.
