Heli Ride Flight to Mokete Camp
3 nights Mokete Camp, Mababe Depression

Wilderness Mokete accommodates 18 guests in nine tents. A stay at Mokete is a feast for the senses, as only a thin piece of canvas separates the guests and the raw nature - just as it should be. The tents are raised on platforms and connected to the main building by walkways. The rooms are tastefully furnished and include a private plunge pool, lounge, bedroom and bathroom with additional outdoor shower. The tent roof can be slided to one side so that guests have a view of the starry sky as they fall asleep.

The main building consists of two wings with the bar / lounge on one side and the restaurant on the other. In front is the open fireplace where you can enjoy your morning coffee. An inviting pool with plenty of sunbathing space was set up right next to the main building. The camp was built with a lot of passion and care and is a real eye-catcher.

Location
South of Chobe National Park, and east of Moremi Game Reserve, Mababe is the nearest water source for thousands of animals in the dry season. The Khwai River, which flows from the Okavango Delta to the Khwai area, makes a bend to the south and then flows north into the Mababe Depression as the Mababe River.

Botswana was shaken by a magnitude 6.5 earthquake on April 3, 2017, the second strongest earthquake ever recorded in Botswana. Since then, the northern part of the Okavango Delta has been receiving more water than the south, probably due to a tectonic shift. This is one of the reasons why the Mababe Depression is being filled with water and life again after years of drought and has become a magnet for animals migrating there from the dry Chobe hinterland to quench their thirst.

Access to camp is normally by helicopter.

Location

By Plane Flight to Selinda Explorers Camp
3 nights Selinda Explorers Camp, Okavango Linyanti

Unterkunft
Das Selinda Explorers erweitert die Erlebnis-Palette Botswanas mit einem Ort, wo Sie auf dem Selinda Spillway mit dem Kanu unterwegs sein können. Dieses kleine, persönliche Camp mit nur vier Zelten (eines davon ist ein Familienzelt für vier Personen) wurde vom Selous Game Reserve (Nyerere NP) in Tansania an diesen neuen Ort verfrachtet und bringt eine Spur Swahili Chic nach Botswana.

Anders als die klassischen Camps in Botswana stehen hier alle Zelte ebenerdig und nicht auf erhöhten Plattformen. Das Camp ist einfach, aber sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und mit allem Notwendigen ausgerüstet, inklusive Strom und fliessendem Wasser.

Das Zentrum des Camps bilden die Lounge und das Esszelt, die unter grossen, Schatten spendenden Bäumen stehen. Am Abend wird hier das Feuer entfacht, gesungen, gelacht und unter den Sternen gegessen. Die vielen Petroleum Lampen und das Flackern des Feuers erzeugen eine romantische, abenteuerliche Atmosphäre mitten im Afrikanischen Busch.

Lage
Das Selinda Explorers Camp liegt am Selinda Spillway an einer wirklich romantischen Stelle, rund eine Stunde Fahrt vom Selinda Camp entfernt. Der Spillway ist in Jahren mit hoher Flut die Verbindung zwischen den Okavango Gewässern und den nordöstlicheren Linyanti und Kwando Flüssen. Je nach Wasserstand der beiden Seiten fliesst das Wasser in die eine oder andere Richtung. In manchen Jahren floss es sogar in beide Richtungen, so flach ist das Land! Die Umgebung besteht aus verschiedenen Lebensräumen, insbesondere auch grossen offenen Flächen, und garantiert eine grosse Tiervielfalt.

Das Selinda Explorers Camp ist Teil der privaten Selinda Konzession (1'350 km²). Auf diesem Gebiet stehen auch das Selinda Camp, das Zarafa Camp und das Okavango Explorers Camp.
