I stayed here for 3 nights (in the dry season) and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Stay here if you basically don’t want to see any wildlife. Outside of the meerkats 1 morning and seeing a bunch of wildebeest there’s nothing to see here. Our guide was also pretty bad.. found 0 animals and would just make jokes like “look a dragonfly” when a helicopter passed by. There’s been a ton of turnover amongst guides too — probably bc there’s no wildlife. The food is also pretty rough too and I definitely got sick from their food / water. Unless you’re obsessed with Meerkats, don’t waste your time. Lots of much better camps in the Okovango Delta in Botswana.
