This is one of the best backpackers I've ever stayed at. I only went as a convenient stop between Maun and Livingston. But wow did this place completely blow my expectations out of the water. The vibe is so welcoming and friendly, easy to meet other travellers. Plus there are free kayaks to explore the beautiful river, bush babies which come out at dusk, a friendly chicken which behaves like a cat, great communal dinners, and other little appreciated bonuses like good wifi throughout and warm showers.

Almost nothing major

Very friendly informal atmosphere. excellent dinner

All the quirky bits around camp, so much to take in and look at. peaceful spot next to the river. an oasis in the middle of a long road trip.

The owner, Rupert, is a fantastic host and makes everyone feel welcome. He's an amazing cook and everyone who wishes is welcome to join for the braai dinner in the evening. It's a fantastic atmosphere with people from different walks of life with different stories. Life is good by a camp fire!

very unique! the tents were very clean and comfortable. lovely bathroom and shared areas free use of canoes very friendly staff

nothing

Very laid-back and very relaxing . Rupert was extremely helpful and friendly. Would definitely go back if I was in that part of Botswana again.

The friendly people we met. Their advice traveling in Botswana.. The location next to the river. The birds. Feeling safe and relaxed.

Great hosts. A space to relax and feel at home.

One of it’s kind for the most part. saw a couple of pieces that were really nice, gave me a few ideas of how to use recycled material myself 😇 10/10

Really liked how the place looked and the attention to campers details. Rupert and her lady friend were super friendly and even played a game late into the night.

Its a great resting place especially for the price, great food and company in a good location for heading through the East side of Botswana. Really pretty stretch of river right next to camp and adorable bushbabies resident at the communal/bar area

the community feel

the water pressure in the bathrooms

The camp site is quirky and well laid out. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is really good. The camp runs on solar power. Make sure your devices are fully charged. The outdoor showers come with hot water. It can be tricky to shower during a storm.

The tent with private bathroom is a little uncomfortable for anyone taller than 1.5m. The curtain decorations inside the tent lowers the tent roof. That makes it difficult to stand up straight. The tree branches in the outdoor shower needs a trim. They grow too low resulting in anyone taller than 1.7m to get caught in the branches. Bedding isn't clean. A mouse has nested in the bed (and has been nesting there for a long time). The mouse was very upset when we opened the bed and chased it out. The entire bed was full of mouse droppings and it smelled of mouse urine. Luckily we had our own sleeping bags.

Friendly host and nice staff. we had a fun night dining with the host. Price/quality ratio is good
