Ihaha Campsite is located about 35 kilometres west of Kasane on the Chobe riverfront.... a spectacular location ... elephants rumbling past in droves to enjoy the Chobe River...This relatively modern camp provides ablution blocks with toilets and showers. Water is heated by solar energy. Highly recommended!
The Linyanti Marsh, located at the northwest corner of the park and to the north of Savuti, is adjacent to Linyanti River. To the west of this area lies Selinda Reserve and on the northern bank of Kwando River is Namibia's Mamili National Park. The area around the two rivers consists of riverine woodlands, open woodlands as well as lagoons, and the rest of the region mainly consists of flood plains. Here there are large concentrations of lions, leopards, wild dogs, roan antelopes, sable antelopes, hippopotamuses and above all enormous herds of elephants. The rare red lechwe, sitatunga and crocodile also occur in the area as well as the rich birdlife. The camp site overlooks the river and the Caprivi Strip in Namibia on the opposite bank.
The Savuti is a region within the heart of the Chobe National Park that is secretly located away from the peak season crowds at the Chobe riverfront. It is the remote homeground of Camp Savuti, positioned on the banks of the dry Savuti Channel and close to the famous Savuti Marsh. The Savuti lions switched to preying on elephants during the late dry season (August-November) between 1985–2005. A pride of 30 lions killed one elephant every three days! It is still wild but the ablutions are now like a prison preventing the elephants from using their trunks to drink from the showers while you are under it as they did in recent times!
Magotho Campsite is located 20 kilometres east of the Khwai Village. The campsite is situated along the main Moremi – Savuti Road. The campsite derives its name from the Setswana of Camel-thorn, these threes provide shade to the campsites. The campsite is basic and true self drive 4×4 Africa adventure. However, it has recently undergone refurbishment and there are now clean ablution blocks and extended spacious camp sites with braai areas. Just wild camping between the trees and the roaming wildlife. We recommend to bring sufficient water and food.Magotho Campsite is a great campsite to experience wildlife. It is great hearing the sounds of the animals in the night and it is not unusual to see some animals on the campsite. An amazing experience!

Nxai Pan National Park is a national park in north-eastern Botswana, consisting of Nxai Pan, which is one of the Makgadikgadi Pan salt flats and adjoins Makgadikgadi Pans National Park on its northern border. The biggest draw to Nxai Pan National Park are the zebras that migrate by the thousands to the area – the second largest land animal migration in Southern Africa. Baines Baobab is an extraordinary place with large Baobab trees sitting on the edge of an extensive salt which was painted by explorer Thomas Baines in 1862 and still looks almost exactly the same, even down to the fallen tree! ... simply spectacular.
Follow the road pointed out by the giant aardvark and you’ll discover the intriguingly named Planet Baobab… This is the Baobab Capital of the World, where the average age of each tree is more than 4000 years, and the boundless lunar landscape of the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans are the size of Switzerland ... this quirky and welcoming place has the largest swimming pool in the Kalahari, serves great food and offers an oasis in the wilderness... you can sleep on the Pan and meet the Meerkats up close and personal - do not hesitate - just visit this place - it is AWESOME!
Placed in the middle of nowhere in the Botswanas bush, this amazing natural waterhole attracts elephants throughout the day for water, swimming and chilling... the Bushlodge and Campsite is located 53Km north of Nata on the main road to Kasane and offers 20 en-suite tents and 8 en-suite chalets as well as ample space for campers with an ablution block. There is a restaurant serving decent food and a big swimming pool with bar ... you can laze in the water while listening to the rumble and odd trumpet as the elephants come and go and squabble for their turn to drink... a MUST do on any trip in Botswana!
Mabuasehube Reserve (a part of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park) has some of the most remote Kalahari camping in Botswana. There are very few sites available so they tend to book up far in advance. There are seven camps in Mabuasehube, each with two to four individual sites, totaling just 17 campsites in the entire Mabuasehube reserve. If you’re looking for solitude, you’ve come to the right place. The camps are named for the pan they sit next to (except for Entrance Gate.) There are no fences and the animals roam freely ... we had a resident leopard and brown hyena in Mpaya No. 1 and a honeymoon lion couple strolled though in the morning... AMAZING.
