Mokolwane
A small, relaxed camp in one of the largest, and almost untouched, parts of the Okavango Delta
Location
200 000-hectare Xudum concession (NG29) in the central Okavango Delta.
DESCRIPTION:
Mokolwane is a small, relaxed camp and intimate camp featuring just 7 charming tents, hiding 10 feet above the ground amongst the shady bows of fig, jackalberry, ilala palm and wild mangosteens. Elephants love it here, with a buffet of palm nuts, berries, and wild fig to feast on as they drip off these tree giants.
Located in one of the largest, and almost untouched, parts of the Okavango Delta. Set amongst a sprinkling of Mokolwane palms, in the Xudum concession (NG29), you’ll find it tucked away in 200 000-hectares of wilderness, being the only camp for miles around, it is a great place to breath in the stillness and solitude.. Teeming with herds of elephant and all the Okavango predators, with so much space and so much action, it’s no surprise that National Geographic and Netflix filmmaker Brad Bestelink has chosen to base himself here. This is leopard country. These territorial cats love it here so much, that the area boasts the third highest density recorded anywhere in Africa. Mokolwane is a special little camp, big on adventure.
Each of the seven rooms boasts an ensuite bathroom and comfortable interiors emanating an earthly charm. Set on the Matsebi river system you’ll find yourself amongst the shade, enjoying spectacular views which turn emerald as the floodwaters roll in.
