About Letaka Tented Camp - Mababe

This legendary family-run mobile safari outfitter offers some of the best down-to-earth Botswana adventuring around. Staffed with expert guides (whose collective experience amounts to some forty-plus years!), you're in extremely good hands. This particular destination traces the diverse Mababe region in the west-central Okavango Delta. It encompasses dry-land habitats, from leadwood and camelthorn woodlands and expansive savannas, to the riverside and marsh-filled backwaters of the Khwai River. The ever-shifting tents capitalise on a variety of beautiful locales and despite the impermanence of the camp, the level of care and attention to detail are second to none.

This camp can only be booked as part of a mobile safari and not independently.

What you'll love

You'll love the intimate, up-close experience of a small mobile safari.

Insiders tip

Birders will know the region is a Mecca for winged species and amongst others, you may be in with the chance of spotting rosy-throated longclaw, cuckoo hawk, African crake and greater painted snipe.

Something to think about

If you require hot-running water on demand, chocolates on your pillow and underfloor heating, this probably won't be your cup of tea...

The property

Each camp set-up is either on the verge of a woodland or next to a water source, meaning there's always a bit of shade and/or unobstructed views. At the heart of camp is a firepit, surrounded by canvas chairs, and this is where you'll convene for fresh-brewed coffee in the morning and evening drinks, stories and stargazing. The open-sided canvas dining tent hosts a single table where guests enjoy convivial meals of hearty, homemade fare. The charm of glowing lanterns and a well-laid table should never be underestimated!

The rooms

Although relatively simple, out here the two-person tents will feel like certain luxury. They are tall enough to stand up in and large enough for two twin beds. Beds are covered with quality linens, decent mattresses and feather pillows. At the rear, through a mesh zippered door, you'll find the bathroom, with toilet, basin and bucket shower. Hot water for showering isn't instant, but made to order and despite how it sounds, bathing this way isn't really a hardship and often turns out the favourite experience.

Activities

Birding
Mokoro
Bush Walks
Game Drives

The beauty of doing safari the mobile way is your ever-shifting orientation. You'll become acquainted with a variety of habitats and landscapes, offering an expansive take on the bush. Not only that, your entire experience is geared toward the wilderness, so even your time in camp feels integral to the adventure. Though game drives will comprise the bulk of the activities, you'll also have the chance to explore via other means too. Guided walks give you a closer look into the flora and fauna and offer an tangible quality of connecting to the soil, and water and weather permitting, a mokoro ride through the floodplains is not to be missed.
