We had a great place in the middle of nature, surrounded by elephants. Very nice camp!

One of the best campsites we’ve stayed in Botswana. The surrounding is stunning, sites are spacious and far enough from each other to feel privacy. Didn’t see much animals but felt really excited just staying there. There’s a boat station nearby. The cost for 1 hour boat rental with the guide was something about 100 PULA during the green season.

Nice place for animal watching. We were there for the second time in January. The first time it was dry, many animals were very easy to navigate. The 2. a lot of rain, fewer animals, difficult to navigate. But still nice 🥰. No water in the sanitary blocks on the 3rd day. But anyone who goes on vacation like this knows what they are getting into. Wilderness 👍🏽. The rangers are great and helped other vacationers who got stuck in the mud. You can buy Chobe and Moremi magazines at the gates. These were very helpful in finding all the paths and also staying on the easier routes 🤩

Er werd ons verteld dat het mogelijk was de camping te bereiken, ‘s ochtends nog gebeld om er zeker van te zijn gezien het regenseizoen. Na 1 nacht vastgezeten te hebben (22 uur lang) tussen het wild, er uitgehaald door een gamedrive toen onze tocht voortgezet, na uren rijden kwamen we bij second bridge, die was totaal kapot en het alternatief een rivier van minstens 1,5 meter diep. Toen zijn we omgedraaid en na de regenval waren de omstandigheden zo verslechterd dat iedereen plas een raadsel was of we niet vast kwamen te zitten. Onze auto ging totaal onder water. Levensgevaarlijk! Terug aangekomen bij southgate werd ons verteld dat het helemaal niet mogelijk is de camping te bereiken. Dat vertellen ze pas nadat je al honderden euro’s hebt betaald voor het park en de campings. Deze krijg je overigens niet terug! Je kunt totaal niet van deze partij en mensen op aan en het is levensgevaarlijk in het regenseizoen. Ze willen vooral zoveel mogelijk geld en vervolgens zoek je het maar uit.
