Motopi Campsite
Central Kalahari Game Reserve, Botswana
Motopi Campsite offers secluded pitches without fences, ideal for wildlife watching and a true wilderness experience.
Why you'll love it here
- The remote Motopi Campsites are in the north-west of the Central Kalahari and are ideal for the first overnight stay after the Tsau Gate.
- There are three campsites spaced far apart, giving you absolute peace and privacy.
- The landscape around Motopi is more densely vegetated than in the rest of the park, which limits visibility a little.
Your accommodation
Our tip: Motopi Campsite 1 (CM-MOT-01) is the furthest from the waterhole but has the most beautiful setting. It is slightly elevated, which gives you wonderful views over the bushy landscape around Motopi.
What this place offers
Dusche (kalt)
Lagerfeuerstelle
There is a long-drop toilet and a bucket shower, but no running water. You therefore have to bring enough water for cooking and showering yourself.
The condition of the shower may be in need of repair or the bucket for showering may have holes or be missing. It’s best to bring a solar shower so you’re well prepared.
What you can do here
Game Drive auf eigene Faust
Gut für Vogelbeobachtung
