Motswiri Ketumetse Camp

Motswiri Camp has only four East African styled luxury tents that are built on the ground.

Description

Motswiri Ketumetse Camp can accommodate private groups of up to 6 (or possibly 8) guests in four luxury custom designed tents - each furnished with double or twin, high quality, three-quarter beds, comfortably layered with fine cotton linen. Styled along the lines of Botswana's first luxury safari camps, the large custom designed tents are erected at ground level and tucked under ancient Leadwood trees. Shaded verandas look onto the Selinda Spillway and the forested banks beyond.

The outdoor bathrooms are en suite and accessed through the rear of the tent. An open air shower, flush toilet, vanity basin, and plenty of hot and cold water complete the amenities.

Each tent is furnished to take care of a guest's every need with a simplicity that is unpretentious yet comfortable.

This is one of the most remote places in Botswana and Motswiri Ketumetse is such an intimate camp that is only available to private groups and families that book the whole camp who can then enjoy it twice as much because it becomes your own private camp.

Attractions

Motswiri Ketumetse being in the far south west of this 300,000 acre reserve has different animals and habitat to our eastern camps, Selinda and Zarafa. Motswiri Ketumetse is in a different water system altogether as it is located in the eastern reaches of the Okavango Delta. As a result there is a different atmosphere in game viewing and activities to that of Selinda and Zarafa. Here you can drive, walk and seasonally go out on canoes to see wildlife. (Canoes are only guaranteed during our flood months, usually from April May through to around October, depending on how much rain has fallen in Angola.)

Elephant are common, with densities during the dry (May to October) season on a par with those of the Chobe.

Lion are resident and their nocturnal roars are a feature of the camp.

There is always a chance for "spots". Cheetah roam the floodplains to the north, and leopard viewing is rewarding when they are encountered.

One of Africa's most endangered predators, the wild dog, visits the area on occasion.

Motswiri Ketumetse is good for viewing the less common antelope like roan and sable antelope, and eland particularly in the dry season.
