Rra Dinare — “Father Buffalo” — is the sister camp to Mma Dinare in the Dinare Private Reserve, the 27,000-hectare community concession that borders Moremi to the north. It is built along raised walkways through a riverine treeline, with the tents looking out over floodplain and waterholes, and it is known for large buffalo herds and the predators that follow them.

How we checked this listing
Suite counts, concession size and number, the Sankuyo partnership and transfer times come from the Kwando Safaris operator page for this camp. We have not stayed here.
Buffalo herds are an underrated reason to choose a camp
A herd of several hundred buffalo moving through open floodplain is one of the few sights in Botswana that reliably produces sustained predator action rather than a single sighting. Camps that sit on buffalo ground tend to deliver more lion than camps that simply have lion in the area, and this concession is known for exactly that.
Raised walkways are a practical detail, not a design flourish
Building a camp on decks above the ground in riverine forest keeps guests out of the way of what walks through at night, which is why camps like this can sit in genuinely busy game corridors. It also means stairs and boardwalks — worth knowing if mobility is a consideration for anyone in your party.
Booking this property
Rra Dinare sells through the operator and through safari agents rather than as a nightly-rate hotel room.
