    This place is super amazing. We stayed in the lovely campsite which is open to the bush. Hippos and other animals roam there at night. Each campsite is very private and spacious. The private bathroom and washing up area is very spacious and well built. Right next door is Mabbe River Lodge, one of he most gorgeous lodges I've seen. All very natural and wild. Only 7kms from Chobe park gate and Kwai is not far. Some nice local game drives too. Stunning place

    Nothing , We stayed too short.

    Camping at #8 !! Wild animals in your camp. The feeling of being in raw nature. Buffalos 10m from our camp fire.....then we very quickly got into our roof top tent. Hyenas under our roof top tent. The owner Thys is super informative and the camp crew very helpful. Best pool ever!! We will certainly be back.

    A well above average campsite
    • Leisure trip

    A well above average campsite for this region. An external sink unit, shower room and toilet for each site. Two units back on to each other and the campsites are closer together than you would expect in the bush. Similarly not the bush views some sites provide. But instead you can have access to your private facilities and a very well presented open air bar and restaurant and even a swimming pool. If we'd known how good it could be I'd have planned a restful afternoon and served dinner for a change from bush cooking but our pre planned itinerary did not allow.

    Nothing. It was absolutely amazing!!!

    The view. The quality of the food. When we arrived they asked us if we want to have dinner, because we booked in advance they offer dinner option. Best food we have had during our holiday. But also the vibe on the bar is amazing. And having your own ablution block made it the best. Small scale!

    Beautiful, well looked after property with lovely facilities and friendly helpful staff. The property is right next to the river with all the animals that you would seen in Khwai, but with far better facilities. We stopped over on our way to Savuti but ended up staying longer.

    Everything! Campsite is situated under trees, so nicely shadow. Unfenced, so you get the real natural wildlife thrill :) Lodge is amazingto hang out and watch the plains for more animals. Loved the honesty bar: grab your drink, make a note, pay later Owner/staff is really nice, we had great talks in the evening. Perfect start/ending point for Chobe!

    Wow! What an amazing experience. This exceptional campsite is a total treat and something for a "bucket list". Thank you, Mababe staff and owners for your hospitality during our stay. We are impressed, to say the least, with the pool, rooms, breathtaking view and the facility overall. We will definitely be visiting again soon.
