Set on the banks of the Mababe River this tented camp is an exclusive new addition to the Bush Ways collection. Located within the Mababe Private Concession which borders the Chobe National Park and Moremi Game Reserve, this seasonal camp promises guests a front-row seat to one of Botswana’s most pristine and wildlife-rich areas.
With just 8 Meru tents accommodating a maximum of 16 guests, Mababe Tented Camp provides an intimate safari experience. Each tent is positioned along the riverfront and features an en-suite bathroom with indoor shower and thoughtful comfort. Twin and double configurations make the camp ideal for solo travellers, couples, friends and families alike. The Camp is proudly eco-friendly, solar powered and designed to leave zero footprint on the land. From here, guests set out to explore the concession and surrounding areas on game drives and mokoro excursions, witnessing elephants, predators, and abundant birdlife.
The camp features just eight Meru-style tents, ensuring a quiet and intimate atmosphere for no more than 16 guests.
