Pangolin Mobile Camp

The Pangolin Mobile Camp is by no means a self-flagellating experience of pitching tents, digging latrines and foraging for one’s dinner. It is a proper bush experience but with a healthy dose of “glamping”. The camp is set up in one of a handful of demarcated locations in the Chobe National park made available to local operators by the parks department. These spaces are allocated on a private basis, so the site is for the exclusive use of the camp. There are five tents in total with additional accommodation for the camp staff and guides. The support truck that brings in all the gear doubles as a mobile water carrier, fridge and electrical source once the camp is erected. Each of the large tents have an ensuite toilet with a basin and bucket shower that is filled with warm water whenever required. The tent itself has twin beds with proper matresses and linen and storage shelves. The front of the tent has a covered area with camping chairs to enjoy a good book. The communal areas of the camp centre around the fire and the dining tent, which doubles as an editing suite during the day. All the meals are lovingly prepared in the bush kitchen nearby and you will be amazed at what can by produced from an open fire by skilled cooks. Onboard everyone has a window seat with bean bag mounts for cameras and lenses.
