Guest Reviews

• Roman Bidychak (10/5): Luxury camping 🏕 - Чудовий кемп. У кожного паркомісця є власний душ з чудовою гарячою водою, туалет і місце для приготування їжі. Вночі в кемпі гуляють гієни, і це додає гостроти ))). Чудовий ресторан "печера" і басейн. Є водойма, що підсвічується вночі - можна спостерігати антилоп і бегемотів. Дуже дружній персонал, допомагають у всьому. Комарі. Обовязково майте репелент

• laurent (7/5): It was a nice stay - The camp accepted our late check-in. The bar was still open in the evening Not much lighting at night

• christina (10/5): - Wir haben den Campsite genutzt.Eigene Sanitäreanlage und Stromversorgung.Die Aussicht war nicht so spannend aber Elefanten und Hyänen gesehen und gehört, besonders in der Nacht.Die Gravelroute nach Khwai ist in hörbarer Nähe, stört aber weder uns noch den Tieren. Ein kleiner Fluss ist direkt hinter den Campsite aber man sieht ihn nicht. Pool , Bar, Essen und Ausenbereich können mit genutzt werden, es ist eine kleine Lodge. Die Zimmer sind sehr schön und ruhig mit Terrasse und Blick auf die Savanne und den Tieren. Vom Bett hat man einen schönen Blick. Alles ist nicht eingezäunt und Tiere können auch in der Anlage sein.
• Irmi (9/5): - Wunderschöner Campingplatz, jeder einzelne mit eigenem Dusch- und Toilettenhaus. Und Spüle. Nebenan das Restaurant mit Bar, pool und einer tollen Holzterrasse von der aus manTiere am Wasserloch beobachten kann. Nachts kam sogar ein Elefanten vorbei. Wer im Restaurant essen möchte, sollte das vorher an der Rezeption anmelden, da wir das nicht in Anspruch genommen haben, kann ich nichts dazu sagen. Uns hat es supergut gefallen , es war wirklich Luxus campen. Es gibt auch Hütten zu mieten. Personal war freundlich. Nichts!

• Michèle (10/5): Campingluxus mitten in der Natur - Tolle Campsite mit eigenem Abolutionblock. Liegt sehr nahe vom Mababe Gate für in den Chobe NP. Die Lodge hat einen super Pool mit Blick auf die Tierwelt. Das Abendessen war sehr lecker und die Leute sehr freundlich. Ich kann die Unterkunft nur wärmstens empfehlen.

• Simon (10/5): We were here for one night in transit from Maun near Savuti. We enjoyed our stay very much. But definitely have flashlig - Great location in Mababe for an overnight stay between Maun and Savuti. Great pool and very nice bar. The accommodation was very clean and just good. The generator next door was running all the time and was really loud at times.
• Katrin (8/5): Good place if you love wildlife - The campsite was spacious with private bathroom/shower/wash-up unit, all clean. We could also use the nice pool / restaurant and bar area. We used the restaurant one night and the food / service was really good. We loved that the camp is not fenced and animals can move around. These seem to be used to campers and we had elephants eating at a bush right next to us. An hyena walked passed us a few meters away, while having dinner. You just have to keep calm and enjoy. The bins on the campsite are not secured for animals, so hyena's are coming in the night to tip them noisily over and eat what they find. The owners should change this or I'd recommend not to use them and put rubbish in bin liner inside your car. We had not been advised to book any tours in advance and it was booked out. We had to arrange it ourselves which was fine in the end. Would recommend to book in advance of your stay.

• Arnulf (8/5): - Leicht zu finden, der Pool und die location Recht teuer, 70 Euro für eine Nacht auf einem mittelmäßigen Campingplatz. Die Tiere plündern über Nacht die ungesicherten Mülltonnen und verteilen den Müll bei den Plätzen. Das sollte dringend verbessert werden .

• Raphael (8/5): Super séjour en pleine nature - La beauté du site, en pleine nature. La gentillesse du personnel Accès à la piscine Qualité des plats proposés par le restaurant Les blocs sanitaires privés et propres et avec un bon débit d eau chaude!! Impossible de faire un safari, tout était complet Site très isolé et compliqué à rejoindre ( l’état des pistes est vraiment mauvais)
• Riccardo (10/5): -

• Łukasz (9/5): Superb - Clean with all facilities - shower ,tooled ,washing section ;garage Great bar and restaurant area - option to book meals Space to observe animals Limited space on the campsite
• Izabela (8/5): Very good - Facilities and location Personnel was not welcoming and I felt at the beginning as intruder
• Van (10/5): Exceptional - Every thing i will not stay at Mbodi or mgotho again camping the best for 200p more 5 star just remember to we were camping That i did not see the wild dog's in camp haha
• Seafrontc (10/5): Exceptional - Camping at #8 !! Wild animals in your camp. The feeling of being in raw nature. Buffalos 10m from our camp fire.....then we very quickly got into our roof top tent. Hyenas under our roof top tent. The owner Thys is super informative and the camp crew very helpful. Best pool ever!! We will certainly be back. Nothing , We stayed too short.
• Katherine (10/5): Exceptional - This place is super amazing. We stayed in the lovely campsite which is open to the bush. Hippos and other animals roam there at night. Each campsite is very private and spacious. The private bathroom and washing up area is very spacious and well built. Right next door is Mabbe River Lodge, one of he most gorgeous lodges I've seen. All very natural and wild. Only 7kms from Chobe park gate and Kwai is not far. Some nice local game drives too. Stunning place
• Konrad (10/5): Exceptional - Very good place for both Chobe and Moremi. The owner is super attentive. Loved the pool and the bar.
• Malcolm (10/5): Luxury, elephants passing through, lounge wifi, very clean - Camped, had a private bathroom and kitchen Honesty bar, pool, waterhole,
• Peter (10/5): Exceptional -
• Matthew (10/5): Great place to stay with wildlife everywhere - Amazing place to stay with wildlife everywhere. Woke up to elephants eating the tree next to our tent which was amazing. Nothing.
• Ks (9/5): A well above average campsite - A well above average campsite for this region. An external sink unit, shower room and toilet for each site. Two units back on to each other and the campsites are closer together than you would expect in the bush. Similarly not the bush views some sites provide. But instead you can have access to your private facilities and a very well presented open air bar and restaurant and even a swimming pool. If we'd known how good it could be I'd have planned a restful afternoon and served dinner for a change from bush cooking but our pre planned itinerary did not allow.
• Terence (10/5): Exceptional -
• Stephanie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Juan (10/5): Thank you, enjoyed our stay! - Perfect in every way! Better roads…😜!
• Sijanda (10/5): A-MA-ZING view and dinner - The view. The quality of the food. When we arrived they asked us if we want to have dinner, because we booked in advance they offer dinner option. Best food we have had during our holiday. But also the vibe on the bar is amazing. And having your own ablution block made it the best. Small scale! Nothing. It was absolutely amazing!!!
• Cori (10/5): Perfect introduction to Savuti - Beautiful, well looked after property with lovely facilities and friendly helpful staff. The property is right next to the river with all the animals that you would seen in Khwai, but with far better facilities. We stopped over on our way to Savuti but ended up staying longer.
• Lea (10/5): Exceptional - Everything! Campsite is situated under trees, so nicely shadow. Unfenced, so you get the real natural wildlife thrill :) Lodge is amazingto hang out and watch the plains for more animals. Loved the honesty bar: grab your drink, make a note, pay later Owner/staff is really nice, we had great talks in the evening. Perfect start/ending point for Chobe! Nothing
• Emiel (10/5): Exceptional - If only we good give more than a 10! Beautiful location with stunning view of game from the pool. Very friendly and helpful staff.
• Laima (10/5): Exceptional -
• Botha (10/5): Exceptional - Wow! What an amazing experience. This exceptional campsite is a total treat and something for a "bucket list". Thank you, Mababe staff and owners for your hospitality during our stay. We are impressed, to say the least, with the pool, rooms, breathtaking view and the facility overall. We will definitely be visiting again soon.
