The Mankwe campsites in the NG43 concession
area are ideally situated for the well-equipped 4x4
enthusiast and campers. From the campsites the Moremi
Game Reserve and Savuti area of the Chobe National Park
can be visited for day trips. The campsites are also
in reach of the game rich Khwai river area (about 25
km away) that can be explored without costs for a day.
To stay at Mankwe is like staying inside a game park
as the animals move around freely and there are no fences
between the reserves and our area. You are in the middle
of a wilderness conservation area. As soon as the wheels
start turning you are on a game drive.
The ideal period to camp at Mankwe will be between
5 and 8 days as it is lovely to just stay in camp sometimes
and enjoy the surrounding wilderness. For the longer
stay a visit to the Delta with an overnight on an island
is recommended.
Boats
As we operate the Mboma boat station in the Moremi Game
Reserve it is an experience of a lifetime to hire a
boat or mokoro and do an overnight on an island in the
Okavango Delta. For the more adventurous it can be lengthened
to a more than one-day expedition. This is an experience
not to forget.
Game drives
From Mankwe Bush Lodge we undertake game drives night
drives and bush walks which should be booked with the
guide which will come around to your site everyday (night
drives and bush walks can’t be done on your own
because of safety reasons).
Trips
Day trips and overnight trips can also be undertaken
in our concession area. The person who would like to
undertake these trips should know how to handle a GPS
and be well equipped to handle any crisis like repairing
your own punctures. For safety reasons these routes
cannot be undertaken with only one vehicle as this is
an untamed wilderness area.
