This is a unique experience. Hemingway type tents (on the ground) -- with a bathroom at the back. No electricity (lights are battery powered). Flush toilet and bucket showers. The game drives are fabulous. Our guide (Big Mike) was very experienced and skilled. On our "scenic" tour from airport to the camp we saw lions, giraffe, hippo, water buffalo and elephants (3 of the big five on first drive!) We had a photo safari and learned so much that I now know how to use my Nikon better. Of course, we got great pictures of all sorts of animals and birds. Subsequent game drives revealed leopard, jackal, and close experiences with elephants and tracking a lion looking for his brother (both he and we found the brother). Mike pointed out all the birds and we took home good pictures and a bird list. We also saw rare Sable and Roan antelope. Awesome! The staff treated us well, with delicious food (fresh baked rolls in a dutch oven each day). Of course, no options at meals but it was all so good, no worries on that point. All in all -- it was camping in the best sense, drinks around the campfire each night and breakfast cooked over the fire in the morning. We heard lions roaring at night and the birds woke up with us each morning. Lovely! Highly recommended.

Nice experience with wonderful staff. Entire staff would greet us with with song and dance when returning from every game drive. In other Botswana camps, we would get this on first arrival (and never in S. Africa camps), but we would be greeted enthusiastically on every return to camp - very fun, very special. This was our only mobile camp, and therefore most basic of the 6 camps of our trip (all &Beyond), but was nice and they worked to make us comfortable; very dedicated staff. There were some issues that could have been avoided (otherwise would have given 5 stars). The most notable was a couple in the camp that had an early morning flight and their ride was to stay at the camp overnight, but did not and changed to be there early the next morning. But the driver was late to camp so the couple came on game drive and were were to meet the ride and transfer during game drive. But the other vehicle did not have a radio and where delayed in connecting. Couple was at risk of missing their flight, which made for a very tense game drive (which was not much of a game drive). But we had a great time otherwise, and the Pangolin boat tour was one of the best experiences of our 3 week trip (included with a 2 night stay at Chobe under canvas), and got some of my best pictures on this tour. I used my own gear, but they provide pretty decent gear not this tour - 150-600mm lens with crop sensor DSLR (great tour for me, but also great for someone new to photography - my wife got great photos as well using gear provided). Though this tour is not run by camp, they get you to an from it on game drive.

What a great experience. Our first trip to Africa, Botswana. Our guide Tony, the whole staff they were incredibly friendly and took really good care of us.
The game drives were fantastic except the fact that there were sometimes too many cars driving around.
However Tony managed to show us so many wonderful animals. We really felt the thrill and adrenaline when we saw a warthog piglet getting chased and killed by a leopard. We felt it again when the impalas barked their alarm for a lioness on the hunt. She didn’t succeed. And what I’ll never forget was the sight of almost 500 elephants at the riverside, taking their bath, drinking and playing.
