Campsite information


What you will need:

* Camping at Mankwe is for the camper who has got everything himself starting with a 4x4 vehicle to the necessary camping equipment.

* We have private campsites to provide you with a bucket shower (we supply a container to heat your water), a washbasin with cold water and a flush toilet. Bigger groups of up to twenty people can stay at one site.

* We will supply one day of firewood and advise campers to collect their own firewood on the way to the camp or when out on a safari for the day.

* As the water in the tanks is not for drinking we advise to bring your own drinking water and enough water containers.

* Also make sure you will have enough containers for fuel as the fuel pumps are far.

* Be sure to have your food and other stock planned for the period you want to stay. In short, camping at (or exploring from) Mankwe is an experience with lots of nature and unspoiled wilderness around, although no 220V; filling stations; shops or bars in the vicinity.
