Our newest addition is our 2 campsites - each with their own kitchenette and bathroom (shower). Contact us for prices.
You'll be staying in an exclusive forest, surrounded by nature. Askiesbos is secluded and primitive - nature lovers will enjoy being right on the banks of the river stream and birders will find this ideal too. Pal's Fishing Owl come to visit quite often and a walking trial through the bush will en-light your stay.
The camp's setting is ideal for a small group, a family or simply friends who wants to escape city life, experience nature (with free roaming bush-buck, hippo, small predators and the occasional elephant passing through), and not to mention discovering our famous traditional village experiences... You can come and relax, write or paint, hike or do some birding, enjoy game drives or do horse safaris... An ideal 'base' for endless activities that awaits...
No meals are included in the prices (but are available from our kitchen) and activities can be arranged with our local guides at very reasonable prices.

★★★★★ Wonderful experience - must be the highlight of our Botswana visit. The boat trip on the Okavango river during which we saw the elusive Pel's Fishing owl was tops.
