Mokete

Guests are transferred to camp via a scenic helicopter flight over the plains – from Maun, it’s a 40-minute flight, and from Kasane, guests transfer to camp via charter flight to/from Santawani Airstrip, with a 7-minute helicopter transfer from Santawani Airstrip*. We are currently in the process of completing our own airstrip near camp, which we expect to be ready in our second year of operation. The camp can also be reached via convenient self-drive from Maun, Moremi Game Reserve, and Chobe National Park. Vehicles are securely parked in Mababe village and guests transferred to camp.

* Helicopter flight at extra cost.

Wilderness Mokete has nine climate-controlled tents accommodating a maximum of 18 guests, with three game-viewing vehicles plus one private vehicle.

Although the Mababe water is permanent, the area is too marshy to operate any water activities. The abundance of hippos and crocodiles in the wetland also makes it unsafe to do so. However, we recommend combining a stay here with a few nights at one of our camps in the Okavango Delta or Linyanti, where you can boat, barge and mokoro - offering the best of both worlds.

While we welcome young adventurers at Wilderness, at Meraka we have a minimum age of 16 years old, due to the high wildlife and predator activity in the area, and the open design of the camp.
