MOKOLWANE

Mokolwane Camp

Tucked beneath towering fan palms and wild date trees in a remote corner of Botswana’s western Okavango Delta, Mokolwane Camp is a hidden gem offering an off-the-grid safari experience rooted in wild beauty, simplicity, and seclusion. Located in the NG29 concession—a vast wilderness shared only with a handful of travelers—Mokolwane offers prime habitat for big game, birdlife, and iconic Delta scenery, making it a top choice for photographers, adventurers, and wildlife enthusiasts seeking space and solitude.

With its elevated treehouse-style tents, panoramic floodplain views, and unpretentious charm, Mokolwane invites guests to slow down and truly feel the rhythm of the Delta—raw, real, and unforgettable.

Accommodations

Mokolwane features seven spacious treehouse-style tents, each built on raised wooden platforms nestled into the trees and overlooking open floodplains or riverine woodland. Designed with a rustic yet comfortable aesthetic, each tent includes twin or king-size beds, en-suite bathrooms with flush toilets and bucket showers, solar lighting, and private decks that provide a front-row seat to the wilderness.

The central camp area includes a relaxed lounge, bar, and dining space, set under canvas with wide-open views and a small firepit nearby for evening gatherings. The atmosphere is relaxed and intimate—perfect for travelers who appreciate a genuine bush experience without excess.

Activities

As part of the exclusive NG29 private concession, Mokolwane offers a highly flexible safari program with access to both dry-land and wetland habitats:

• Game Drives (Day & Night): Explore varied landscapes, from open floodplains and riverine channels to palm-dotted islands and woodland. The area is well-known for regular sightings of elephants, lions, leopards, and, notably, African wild dogs, which frequently den and hunt in this region. Night drives allow for exciting glimpses of nocturnal wildlife, including genets, civets, and owls.

• Birdwatching & Photography: With rich, diverse habitats and minimal human disturbance, Mokolwane is a haven for birders and photographers. Expect a stunning array of species from carmine bee-eaters and lilac-breasted rollers to Pel’s fishing owl and wattled cranes.

• Seasonal Mokoro Excursions: When water levels are high enough, guests can explore nearby flood channels by mokoro (dugout canoe), offering peaceful water-based game viewing and a close connection to the Delta’s aquatic ecosystems.

• Scenic Landscapes: The iconic palms, open horizons, and seasonal floodwaters create breathtaking scenes year-round—whether bathed in golden light at sunset or veiled in morning mist.

Additional Amenities

Mokolwane Camp focuses on meaningful, low-impact travel, with thoughtful features that enhance your experience without distracting from the wild:

• Eco-Conscious Operations: The camp runs entirely on solar power and uses sustainable practices to minimize its environmental footprint.
