Really nice area to wild camp. Lots of elephants around. It is private property of the owner of Elephant Sand. He showed up while we were camping. He allowed us to wild camp here but you have to pay for it at Elephant Sand. 110 pula ppn to wild camp. He also told us if management from Elephant Sand find you they will send you away.
Report Check-InA word of warning, Lions are plenty in this part of Botswana, not tent friendly if on the ground and yes they have found tenters half eaten by Lions in the past, this idea of no lights in tents and they won't get you is crazy and very false sense of security, cyclists you've been warned as Lions will see you as part of the food chain
Report Check-InAfter exploring the area and other waterholes, we thought this was the best option! Located at the end of a minor dirt track. Big opening and beautiful setting with bush and big trees for shade. Lots of options around the waterhole to set up camp. Hidden and no people came by.
So many elephants came to the waterhole in the late afternoon and evening. Even tiny babies. We were so close to them!! A great experience.
Only disadvantage with camping around here is the noise from the A33 road and air traffic. But it’s still worth it because of all the elephants.
Lots of firewood around :)
