"Super good"
We arrived from Maun by a helicopter about the size of a large dragonfly. It was way more fun than we anticipated, flying a mere 3500' above the ground, allowing for sightings of Red lechwe, flocks of egrets and storks, and an elephant or three. We were greeted at the helipad by our guide, Timothy, and did a bit of a game drive on the short distance into camp.
The tents are uniquely designed and stylish, with every amenity you could imagine, including a private mini pool set into the edge of the deck. Each tent seemed very private from the next.
Exploring the area with Timothy was outstanding, with many new life birds seen plus old friends. One can never have too many Lilac-Breasted Rollers and a family of Wattled Cranes entertained us while we watched the parents feeding the juvenile who was as big as mom and dad.
Due to the depths of the grasses and amount of water contained in the marshy areas, we could not venture far out into the plains. We could see Tsessebe heads moving through the grass and Eles, Zebras, and Wildebeests came and went. Ditto hyenas. It made us want to return in the dry season when it is possible to follow game trails deep into the interior.
I highly recommend asking for a visit to the village of Mababe. Timothy took us to the school and the head mistress introduced us to the first and seven grade classrooms. The children were very polite and had an impressive curriculum they were following." See all these reviews: 16n in Botswana

"Mokete review"
This is a special location and it was very interesting to know that the local village worked with Wilderness on an employment contract for the people at Mokete. Nearly all positions are staffed by the local people and with that being said there is some growing room for the staff to work as smoothly and professionally as established Wilderness camps.
Our guide, Sox, was so knowledgeable and filled us in on many stories about life as a bushman. He was most interesting. We had very special moments, candle light dinner in the bush (just wow), elephant watching from a buried container with windows (just wow), an unbelievable amount of animals.
Acommodations are not as luxurious but are more than adequate with a contemporary flair. Meals are buffet style and were tasty, though not as excellent as our other experiences. My husband enjoyed a super relaxing massage on our deck.
I think most importantly is to know that this camp and staff with grow with experience, but the animal experience can not compare - thousands and thousands of many varieties." See all these reviews: 10n in Botswana
