Nice campsite

We stayed one night at Acacia Camp and everything was great. The campsite was spacious, with a good fire setup and a large, clean bathroom. The views were excellent. It’s a bit tricky to get there with GPS coordinates. You first need to go to the reception of “Camelthorn Bush Camp” (also managed by Hideaways Africa), and from there they guide you to the campsite. The staff was very friendly.

We loved it here. You feel one with nature. The facilities were great and elephants visited in the evening during our campfire. What more can you want from such a trip.

Great place after a week in the Bush.

Very friendly reception and staff , and very good value for money. Perfect as a stopover from/to Moremi and Khwai. There is also a pool for campers.

Loved the location, people and site.

Remoteness of location and camping site. Very remote location with wild animals. Facilities were clean, neat and tiny.

we stayed at the tent campsite, which is 3 min of driving from the lodge. campsite is huge, nice and clean ! we had dinner and breakfast at the lodge, superb ! The manager Johann was so kind to help me out with 20 l of diesel, thanks ! If you come from north, dont listen to Google maps, dont leave main road, go straight, then turn to the Mankwe lodge.

Comfortable camping.

Very nice place to have a rest after a long drive. Great distance between the cap sites so you won't be bothered by other campers. Good toilet and shower. Very affordable compared to other campsites in the region. The main building/ reception looks gorgeous and has a swimming pool. Camping ground is on the sand, but feels very clean and comfortable.

A gem of a campsite

I loved the location! 1 hour drive to Chobe National Park or Moremi, it's only about 30-40km but the roads are heavily corrugated and in bad condition once you leave Maun.. Anyway easy access to the parks and the Khwai area. The campsite is unfenced and wildlife roam freely, it is safe though. The setting was lovely, secluded campsite, peaceful and clean ablutions, no hot water showers, however, they have those overhead portable shower option where you can boil water and pour it in there to have a hot or warm shower. The water is not drinkable, come prepared. The owner/manager Mr Johan if I'm not mistaken his name was, was so helpful with his advice, came out of his house at night to meet me at the reception to advise me on a shortcut or easier way to Moremi for the next day. The staff were very friendly and helpful too. I would definitely visit again! My family loved it too.

Absolutely amazing campsite with privacy. At the main facility beautiful scenery, with waterhole views from the pool. Nice relax zone. The food was also delicious!

It's the best camping in Botsawana. Organized, with services, clean toilets and with exceptional helpful staff.A five stars camping, it's just one hour from the Main Gate to Chobe and 1h 45m from Khwai

We were in the "camping site" : No electricity, no fence (Just in the middle of nothing), no current water (to have shower we should have filled a bag Upon the shower), only a bathroom (no light inside - toilet flushing working as the shower) and a fire place in the ground. Very far from the reception and very expensive compared to no service ad all. We didn't spend there the night, we went to another camping.

Want to go back!

We've stayed at the camping and the tent, and both were great! Camping was the best we had in Botswana and the tent was just what we needed after 20 days camping. Food is great and staff and owners are so friendly! I 100% recommend a stop for a few days at this lodge!

Excellent private camp not far from Moreno Game reserve.

The very warm welcome from Johann and wife even though we could not let them know that we would be late. They not only waited for us but escorted us to the campsite and even lit a fire! The incredible natural beauty and closeness to wildlife.
