Mowani Mountain Camp

Mowani Mountain Camp

"Mowani Mountain Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 2 Jul 2023
"the setting was fantastic and the sun downer bar looking over the desert was an amazing experience.

it was cold as the central area is open to the elements. good food and choice.

rosie the guide was great fun, knowledgeable and skilled at finding wildlife. loads to see that was not on the survey and we got so close; 2-3m in some cases.

morning coffee in a dry river bed surrounded by elephants....."

Okonjima Bush Camp

"Okonjima Plains Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 8 Jul 2023
"we were upgraded to the bush camp. had a lovely room with it's own waterhole to which a family of warthogs came to drink.

food was good and they accommodated our sons needs.

john m. was a goods guide with a knack for finding things and we saw everything we wanted to except for pangolin and aardvark (not seen elsewhere either)."
