“A stunning place”

The love that the staff put into the place and the experience of their guests is amazing. In the morning we were served coffee and hot muffins out of the oven. Such small details and the place emerged in nature was very exceptional.

“Staying at Askiesbos was a relaxing adventure”

“Outstanding Askiesbos Experience!”

Peaceful location. Friendly, efficient, curteous staff. Excellent service, from check-in to departure. The meals were good. The service for breakfast and dinner was great. Our guide on the sunset cruise and the "Discover the Panhandle" activity was outstanding. Very knowledgeable about wildlife and birds, and attentive to our needs. All-in-all a very memorable stay. We loved it!

“Excellent place with the unique feel”

Location, look & feel, staff and vibe

“You would want to stay longer!”

Out of the way, not many people, just right. Staff were fantastic.

“Naturally a great place”

Given very heavy rains across northern Botswana and the Caprivi Strip, we had to change travel plans at the last minute, resulting in us entering Botswana through the Mahango national park and travelling down the Okavango panhandle. Based on a recommendation from where we we scheduled to stay in the Okavango Delta, we book a night at Askiesbos - literally, the name is an apology to the natural bush for disturbing it to build the lodge. The camp is very eco-friendly and has made use of natural materials from the surrounding area, with luxury tented accommodation and outdoor "bathrooms", quirky and fun. Staff were great and the food was excellent. The camp is situated on one of the waterways running off from the main Okavango River, with hippos in some of the pools to add a little noise. We did an evening birdwatching cruise - our guide Lucky was very knowledgeable and found two different owl species to add to numerous bee-eater species, fish eagles and a variety of other colourful local inhabitants.

The host Andrew was excellent, great Irish music, solitude.

“Our group of 4 had really enjoyed our couple of days at Askiesbos and wished we could stay longer.”

Beautiful place, unique accommodation, good food and great service. The Discover the Panhandle was fantastic, and great for the bird/animal lover and our guide was really knowledgeable. Really enjoyed our couple of days and would have been good to stay a little longer.

Everything Amazing place

“Beautiful location with friendly helpful staff, great food, five stars all around!”

The property is beautiful, the staff is friendly, they could not have been more welcoming upon our arrival and were helpful throughout our stay. We enjoyed the boat ride and birding walk with Lucky who is very knowledgeable and great to spend time with. This was my favourite spot on our 6 week southern African adventure, I wish we could have stayed longer.

“We loved it here!”

We loved our stay here. Great, quiet location with hippos and crocs in the water! The room was really comfortable. The staff were great. We were lucky enough to have Lucky as our guide for all our trips and he was excellent. The communal areas were comfortable with soft seating and an honesty bar.

“Most relaxing tented camp, friendly staff, great food. Organised excursions were amazing.”

Great location, friendly staff. Food was good - nice to sit under the stars and be spoiled with a 3 course dinner. Excursion were amazing - guides very experienced and knowledgable.

“Askiesbos: where nature meets luxury”

We spent two nights at Askiesbos and felt very welcome from the moment we arrived. The staff is warm and friendly and takes care of everything you need. The tent is absolutely amazing - we had the River Tent number one with a bathtub and outdoor area. There were plenty of blankets, so we didn't freeze even in the winter. A small fridge, water kettle, and great toiletries like shampoo and conditioner were provided. Breakfast and dinner with a view of the river were delicious, and dinner was a great three-course menu. At night, we could hear the hippos grunting. We did the sunset cruise with Lucky, a fantastic guide who knows everything about the animals and explains it perfectly. The tour cost 400 Pula, and we saw many animals already. We then booked the 6-hour Pan Händle tour with Lucky for the next day, which cost 1000 Pula per person. We even saw hippos and enjoyed a great lunch on the way. One thing to note is that the photos really don't do the accommodation justice - it's way better in real life! The beauty of the surroundings and the attention to detail in the tent are truly special. We were sad to leave after two days and would love to come back. The accommodation is absolutely recommended, especially the sunrises and sunsets during meals are a dream. We even had the chance to meet the owner of the farm.

“The best of the Okavango”

The camp was so beautiful. The staff were lovely, food really good

The location.The staff are very helpful and friendly.

“Highlight of our trip”

Askiesbos was one of the best places we stayed on our 3-week trip to Botswana. We stayed in one of the river tents with the outdoor bathroom and everything was very clean, with convenient places to put your things, like soap and toiletries. The common areas are comfy, with tea and coffee and filtered/purified water available on-tap. The view over the pan-handle papyrus whilst sat on a sofa was brilliant. We spotted a handful of birds just from there! Our excursions were booked ahead of time and were not only value for money but were brilliant. If you are interested in birds, ask for Lucky as your guide. We saw over 60-bird species in just two days spent with him (panhandle tour and Tsodilo hills walk). The accommodation is a little out of the way, but fully accessible from the main road and we were able to organise a pick-up from the bus stop also. Overall, fantastic stay - highly recommend.

“Life Top 10 Experience”

“Amazing place!”

Amazing place! Warm welcome and friendly staff. The place has a quiet and peacefull vibe. We could hear the hippos during night time which was a great experience. The food was out of this world. They are able to adhere to your dietary wishes (even desserts). Rooms are spacious and very clean.
