Best hotels in Mababe

A private property in the Mababe region, found within an extension of the Chobe National Park, Tumani Tented Camp offers front-row access to incredible wildlife areas, set apart from the busier areas of Northern Botswana. and a star bed safari experience rarely offered in this same way. Easily accessible from Maun and a 25km drive to Khwai - this beautiful spot is set to be one of Botswana's living legends.

The camp is deliberately intimate: eight tented rooms plus a family suite, each slightly raised on wooden platforms with an exterior staircase off the veranda leading up to a private star-deck. At Tumani, sleeping under the stars isn’t a special activity, it’s a built-in feature available to every guest.

At the heart of the camp lies a sprawling main area under thatch, with multiple lounge pockets, interior and al fresco dining offering either privacy or conviviality, and complete with a pool sporting uninterrupted views across the river.

Tumani benefits from access to both the Mababe region and Chobe National Park, combining a quieter, exclusive wilderness within one of Africa’s most renowned wildlife destinations, known for large elephant herds and strong predator populations. Enjoy daily game drives and guided walking safaris, and even add a scenic helicopter flight to your itinerary.
