Escape to the soul of Botswana’s untouched wilderness at Mokolwane Camp, a charming and authentic safari hideaway in the remote Xudum Concession (NG29). Nestled in one of the largest and least developed areas of the Okavango Delta, this intimate camp offers a raw and immersive safari experience, far removed from crowds and noise. Surrounded by towering fig, jackalberry, ilala palm, and wild mangosteen trees, the camp blends seamlessly into the natural landscape, attracting abundant wildlife—especially elephants that gather to feast on the fruit-bearing trees.
With just seven elevated canvas tents, each perched 10 feet above the forest floor, Mokolwane Camp promises exclusivity and tranquility.
