Wilderness Mokete

Set on the edge of a permanent marsh fed by the Mababe River, Wilderness Mokete sits in a fifty-thousand-hectare concession between the Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park. The camp opened in 2024. Nine canvas tents accommodate 18 guests, each with a sliding roof that opens to the stars, a private plunge pool, air-conditioning, and an en-suite bathroom. The tents face open grassland where herds converge at the water.

The marsh is the nearest water source for hundreds of kilometres in three directions. Elephants arrive in the thousands during the dry months. Buffalo and zebra cross the plains in herds that number into the tens of thousands. Lions hunt by day on the exposed flats, and leopard move through the mopane woodland at the concession's edge. Spotted hyena clans den near camp. Wild dog, cheetah, and bat-eared fox are recorded regularly. A sunken hide overlooks the marsh at eye level with drinking herds.

Game drives depart without fixed schedules — guests can follow a hunt for hours or stop for a bush lunch beside grazing zebra. Night drives track hyena and jackal under spotlight. Guided walks cover smaller details missed from a vehicle. A helicopter flight crosses the depression from above. The camp runs on solar power. Three vehicles serve the camp; a private vehicle is available. Wireless internet, laundry, and minibar are included. Visitors to Mababe village meet elders and learn tracking methods used locally for generations.
