About Mokete

Beyond the invisible, eastern borders of Moremi Game Reserve, Mokete Camp enjoys all the spoils of a private concession. In the midst of well-worn game trails and precious waterholes, the area can be explored by 4x4 or on foot - and always be alert for the prolific wildlife, from megaherds of elephant to the tiny bat-eared fox. Meaning 'celebration' or 'feast' in the local language, each day at Mokete holds the promise of something special whether that's on a drive or nestled on a lounger beside the pool.

What you'll love

Splashing out on a helicopter flight over this beautiful and unique landscape, spotting ant-sized elephant as you soar overhead.

Insiders tip

Each guest receives a kikoi to use and on very hot days, it's worth wetting one to drape over your shoulders on a game drive.

Something to think about

This area has a Kalahari-like climate and is quite different to other areas of the Okavango Delta or Chobe National Park so water-based activities aren't available.

The property

The main camp is a simple wooden structure, which is almost completely wall-less. Spend your down time in the eclectic lounge, which is stocked with tea, coffee and freshly-baked biscuits, best enjoyed with a book from the library. To its left is the small saltwater pool, fed by the camp's borehole, and out front, you'll find the firepit where you'll watch the stars and listen to hyenas calling in the night. The central bar has an array of aperitifs, perfect before a hearty dinner.

The rooms

There are nine tented chalets on raised wooden platforms, each with roll-down canvas walls and a private deck that overlooks the plains. All are equipped with a desk, tea/coffee facilities and universal plug points. Bathrooms have flushing toilets, twin basins, walk-in showers and plenty of closet space. On the warmest evenings, turn your tent into a sleep-out thanks to the nifty detachable roof. There are also two chalets with a second bedroom for children and the entire camp is solar-powered.

Activities

You'll want to explore from dawn until dusk, and while R&R is always advised, there is plenty to do. Set off for a morning or afternoon drive (equipped with a picnic so you don't miss a thing), your eyes peeled for cheetah, jackal, serval, wild dog, lion (who very commonly hunt during the day) and leopard in the 'mopane belt'. There are also megaherds of elephant and hyena that den in massive groups near the camp, while the marshy areas welcome a host of incredible birdlife. For a slower-paced experience, walking the Mokete Trail reveals the medicinal uses of local plants and other traditional skills.

The Chobe National Park is famous for impressive herds of elephant and Cape buffalo that seasonally congregate along the winding river banks and open grassy floodplains. Expect to see a diversity of hoofed mammals, including the puku (only seen in this part of Botswana), giraffe, warthog, roan and sable, and keep an eye out for the predators—lion and leopard—that are never far behind. The leopard is particularly prominent along the bank of the river so be sure to scan the tree branches.
