Overview

About Mokolwane

Mokolwane puts the focus on wildlife in the private Xudum concession of Botswana’s southern Okavango Delta. Seven raised tents sit among mature trees beside the Matsebi river system, with en-suite bathrooms and views over the surrounding plains. Days revolve around game drives, with night drives revealing a different side of the bush and seasonal mokoro trips exploring the waterways. Back at camp, there is a shared dining area, a viewing deck and a swimming pool. Leopard, lion and wild dog are among the predators found here. One family tent accommodates families with children aged six and over.

“A small camp for travellers who put predator viewing first, with raised tents, a communal deck and seasonal mokoro trips adding variety between drives.”
