Latest Check-Ins
P300 pppn for SADC and International guests. Shaded campsites with water and electricity. Bar and deck. No restaurant facilities - only at main lodge and must be pre-booked.
Report Check-InWhat a fabulous campsite right next to Okawango river.
At P300pppn it's not the cheapest but worth every penny of it. Can highly recommend.
We opted for the lodge due to the heat wave. Loved the rooms and the air con. Beautiful green grounds all well kept. Cooling and clean pool. River front and we enjoyed a couple of boat trips out. Great food.
Report Check-InThis is an absolute gem of a lodge. If you are a birder it is a must! We saw the Pel’s Fishing Owl twice which is a lifer bird. The staff are incredibly friendly and the owners made us feel so welcome. The campsites are quite private with excellent ablutions, very clean and all well maintained. You’re also right on the Okavango river. Each campsite has its own braai area, power point and tap. The main lodge is a very short walk and offers WiFi and a swimming pool which the campers can use. We had dinner at the lodge on our first night and were taken there via boat which was great. Highly recommend this spot, we’ll definitely be back.
Report Check-InStunning place. Best camp we have been to. It’s not just about seeing the Big 5. It’s also about experiencing such beautiful and well run places as this.
Highly recommend.
Very beautiful place and friendly staff. We stayed at the campground. Very spacious, clean und shady. Next to the river. We spotted many animals and birds.
Report Check-InNice and quiet place. Campsites are large and shady, ablutions clean. Nice riverview from the bardeck at the campground, perfect for a sundowner. Pool area is nice and refreshing. In the afternoon a lot of friendly bushbucks on the lawn. We enjoyed our stay.
Report Check-InFantastic campsite and the pitches are huge, we were on pitch 8, super clean. However access to camping pitches are not big rig friendly. Not easy access and it took a lot of patience to navigate the long narrow track between trees.
Once in it was perfect.
Amazing owners, very helpful. The camp sites are clean, large and a bit
dusty. The property and the bar area are stunning.
An outrageous 250P pppn. now
Great place, but very expensive!
Best place we stayed in our 2 week road trip in Botswana. Beautiful lodge with great camping sites at 200 Pula pp. It is beautifully landscaped with amazing bird viewing. It’s clean and quiet with electricity at each site and clean, shared abolition blocks. We spent two nights here because we just needed a night in a real bed and ac...and it was sooo worth it! The pool is very nice too. They also have good free WiFi in the beautifully decorated main lodge reception area with free tea and coffee. The people running Drotskys are so kind and welcoming and no long drive in from the main road. This place is simply great!
Report Check-InThe campsites are very dusty, but neat with good amenities. It is clean and neat and well kept. The campsites are not on the main river though, but on a small side stream. At P200 pppn it is fairly expensive. You are however to use the swimming pool and coffee, tea and cookies are free to enjoy at the lodge. The staff are very friendly and the internet is good. Internet is however only available at the lodge. The lodge was about 15 minutes walk from our campsite, but the paths are beautifully kept with lights at night. We heard elephants fairly close by every evening and the deer are walking around. There lots of monkeys around all the time, so you can't leave any food unattended. Beautiful birds around also.
Report Check-InNice well kept camping. Big campsites with cleen ablution block ( one for three campsites. )Price 200 pp. beautiful lawn at the lodge where you have wifi.
Report Check-Inprice is now 200 Pula per person per night. Firewood is extra 25 Pula. Campsites all on sand. No WiFi, we went a few Km downstream where we found better value for the same price.
Report Check-InStill a great campground. Price pppn is now P200. Firewood is no longer included but costs just P25 for a large wheelbarrow full. The official website is drotskys.com. You can book by contacting them via the site or email at [email protected]. (The site drotskyscabins.com is a South African travel agency that charges higher rates.) The campground was fully booked (17 sites) when we were here during South African July school holidays.
