Mokolwane

Mokolwane is tucked away in a 180 000-hectares of wilderness, among Mokolwane Palms. The area (south-west of Chief’s Island) is known for herds of elephant, buffalo and all the Okavango predators. This is also leopard country. These territorial cats love it here so much, that the area boasts the third highest density recorded anywhere in Africa.
Mokolwane is a special little camp, big on adventure, remote, with the potential for exclusive use.

At Mokolwane there are just 7 charming, hidden 10 feet above the ground amongst the shady bows of fig, jackalberry, ilala palm and wild mangosteens. Each tent has indoor showers, mosquito nets over the beds, ceiling fans, and Wi-Fi. Power is mostly solar, with back-up generator. Set on the Matsebi river system you’ll find yourself amongst the shade, enjoying spectacular views which turn emerald as the floodwaters roll in.

This is elephant country, with a buffet of palm nuts, berries, and wild fig to feast on.

Between 5,000 to 10,000 elephants are in the concession at various times of the year and the buffalo herds that come through are also in large numbers. Giraffe and zebra are joined by wildebeest, and all the antelope from kudu, lechwe, bushbuck, tsessebe, to name but a few.
As a result there is a lot of predator action in the concession with a high density of resident leopard competing with strong populations of lion, wild dog, hyena and cheetah for prey.

The smaller species like bat-eared fox, side-striped and black-backed jackal, African wild cats, honey badgers, meerkat and mongoose are also frequently seen in abundance. As night falls, enjoy sightings of all the nocturnal creatures, from porcupine, aardwolf, aardvark, civet and genet.

This is an exciting concession for bird lovers too. From wattle cranes, Pel’s fishing owl, martial eagles, to huge flocks of quelea preyed on by falcon, there’s plenty to tick off on the bird list.
Activities on offer are game drives, night drives, mekoro and boating (seasonal and subject to water levels).
