Campsite

Accommodation Description

Three private camping pitches await at The Campsite, part of Boteti Safari Lodge on the banks of the Boteti River in Botswana's Ngamiland district. Positioned roughly 20 kilometres from Maun, each pitch has its own braai area and natural shade, making this an ideal base for self-sufficient travellers who want a proper bush experience without the luxury price tag. A shared ablution block with hot water showers keeps comfort in the picture, while access to the lodge's swimming pool, bar, lounge, and dining area rounds out the stay nicely. The riverside deck is an unmissable feature — sit here long enough and you're almost guaranteed elephant sightings as herds make their way down to drink. Whether you arrive in a rooftop camper, a trailer tent, or a backpack, The Campsite is a no-frills gateway into one of Africa's most productive wildlife corridors, just a short drive from the vast Okavango Delta.

Setting Description

Boteti Safari Lodge sits alongside the Boteti River - the seasonal outflow channel of the Okavango Delta, in the Ngamiland district of northern Botswana. The surrounding landscape is a mosaic of dry savanna, mopane woodland, and riverine vegetation: classic Delta-edge terrain that supports exceptional concentrations of big game. Elephants, buffalo, lion, leopard, and cheetah all move freely through this corridor, and the Boteti River is particularly renowned for large elephant herds descending to drink at sunrise and dusk. Maun, Botswana's adventure capital and the primary gateway to the Okavango Delta, is just a 20-minute drive from the lodge. From here, guests can arrange full-day game drives into Moremi Game Reserve and Khwai Private Reserve, mokoro excursions into the Delta waterways, scenic flights over the Delta, and guided birding walks. Big skies, open bush, and a wealth of authentic African wildlife make this one of Botswana's most rewarding and accessible wildlife destinations.
