It was midnight on 25th November 2008 that we watched, with almost disbelief, the Boteti River flowing into our waterholes! Too good to be true after such a long time…
The Boteti River deep in the Kalahari Desert dried up in 1993! A hundred thousand zebra and wildebeest perished, other animals died or had to leave the area. The river…

The ultimate luxury accommodation of an African safari is watching endless herds of wildlife drinking at the waterhole from a canvas tent. Or a shower in full view of the setting sun as the first roar of a lion echoes through the riverbed below. It is these luxuries that enhance the authentic safari tented camp comforts of home.
The fully serviced authentic safari camp maintains an atmosphere of the original safari experience. Our guests appreciate this, as it is the true African safari style experience they want.
We utilize safari tents and equipment from our former ‘mobile’ safari days and combine these with permanent fixtures, built by local craftspeople, with locally collected materials. There are, of course, the luxuries of flush toilets and a natural Boteti rock pool to wallow in on hot summer days.
Each of the seven fully serviced safari tents with semi-attached bathrooms, including a shower and flush toilet each, are set on the edge of the riverbank. A hundred feet below camp is the waterhole that attracts thousands of animals during the dry season. A lot of emphasis in the camp experience is placed on the theatre view from camp, and so no matter where guests are they may watch the scenes played out, whether from the plunge pool, their tents, the verandas, or the bathrooms.
The camp staff – management, guides and support crew all help to maintain the safari experience with care and dedication to the guests’ every need. The safari camp cuisine is prepared in a way it is as much of a safari experience as all the other aspects of life in the bush. We cook on the campfire – BBQ Botswana beef fillets, BBQ chicken, BBQ chops, grilled fish, and these are supplemented with fresh vegetables and salads. Puddings, cheese, biscuits and fresh tropical fruits end the meals on a sweet note. Picnic lunches are supplied for day trips into the national parks.
