Lovely Waterhole with camping with private ablutions and free wifi. Best pizzas in Botswana

Report Check-In

8 km before Kazungula look out for well marked signs. Also a 2x4 road. As good as it gets in Chobe. Loads of elephants, Zebra, giraffe, fantastic birds and the mongoose made my trip! Waterhole, 24/7 light, underground photographic bunker, well-stocked bar and a very tempting shop. We had love trips organised by reception. Day trip to Victoria Falls was fantastic and safari drive worth every penny. Campground neat, clean and eco-friendly.

rustic bush camp with cool facilities.each camp site has its own kitchen Lapa, braai area with half moon seating and ablution block. bar area has double story seating overlooking the waterhole which attracts an array of animals throughout the day. camp is alive with baboons, banded mongoose and red billed horn bills among other feathered friends.

Very busy, noisy campsite. Pizza fills you up, but that's it. Laundry - 100 Pulas for a small plastic bag.
Amazing waterhole with hundreds of
Elefants, just don't expect it to be a quiet moment. The bar is 50m from the waterhole. And the hide has metal chairs.

Had the impression that children are rather undesirable because they are loud per se, but on the terrace tonight there was a live broadcast of a rugby game at a very high volume...no sign of quiet wildlife 😡

Crux on the side: camp promotes eco-tourism, but offers walks with lions and elephant rides...money beats morale!

Report Check-In

Nice shady campsite with private bathroom/toilet. But that's it.
Everything you order has to be paid directly. Dinner, which is described as a great dinner on their homepage, turned out to be a selection of five different pizzas, which also have to be pre-ordered and paid for by 5 p.m. and then placed on the table in the box at the appointed time

The entire square is practically paved with signs pointing out rules and prohibitions. Toilet paper is available free of charge at reception, is not in the toilet because campers supposedly always take the whole roll with them.

Never in more than nine months in Africa have I been shown more distrust than here in the last four years. Reminds me a bit of camping between Bibione and Jesolo in Italy.
Campers are clearly 2nd class here.
From my point of view absolutely no recommendation.
I've had much better seats for a lot less money in the last two weeks.

Report Check-In

I’ve stayed twice in a few months. Surely people only come here for the watering hole and potential of elephants-which is fabulous.
The sign and label printing industry is making a great living off this place alone. I have never seen so many rules, I’m from the UK and we love a rule but this is madness! On top of the 40+ pages already provided when I booked online.
They clearly dislike kids and the signs makes this obvious however I’d be happier if they banished loud irritating adults as thankfully my kids know how to behave in public and around wildlife.
I emailed 3 days in advance regarding dinner. The email confirms a 3 course set meal for 120pula so I scheduled and shopped to incorporate that. We had a lovely meal last time we were here. When we arrived we were informed that they only do pizzas. No apology or acknowledgment of the email, simply ‘it’s pizzas for dinner’ when I showed the contents of the email. They arrived in a box and whilst they weren’t too bad they were made with shop bought bases!!
I get that sounds petty but it was our last night and I didn’t want to bring food unnecessarily however if I’d been informed it was only pizzas I would’ve gone to the shops and cooked.
The staff were rude, bored and unhelpful. There was one friendly member of staff, she asked for 100pula straight out! I guess with so many rules in place this place breeds unhappiness.
Oh and they are now VAT registered so you must pay vat on your booking. I’m not sure how this works when I paid the booking months before they were vat registered.

the ablutions are in need of some repair and cleaning prior to guests arrival. Our sink was full of
Sand and leaves. You must ask for loo roll surely it’s be better to offer this at checkin?! The water pressure was good and the water hot.
Not a complaint but for info/ Wifi is 5-9 at the bar and the bar is 4-8. My mobile reception including 3G was fine.
The 2x4 route in is now better sign posted.
Other than that a lovely place…..

Report Check-In

The only positive thing I can say about here is that they have elephants come to a waterhole but quite frankly in Botswana you will have the chance to see many, many elephants in a truly wild setting. My impression is the owners do not even like their customers and business and because they are rude and totally disinterested ( except when taking your money) their staff appear to be also very miserable ( again not surprising when you are spoken to in a bad way by your manager) Everything is now dirty and run down and I guess it is surviving on a long ago reputation ( we came 5 years ago) I have never felt so mistrusted.......apparently all campers STEAL the 1 ply toilet roll they reluctantly hand out at reception ........their booking system is so antiquated and the red rules all over the email just plain rude and unwelcoming as are ALL the signs throughout the place. Chobe Mopani forest lodge is about 20 mins further out from Kasane and a whole world of difference in attitude and experience, plus they get loads of elephant at the waterhole there, to this overated, tired and in my opinion rudely run campsite.

Our third visit in as many years, and still one of our preferred campsites in the area. Lovely wildlife around the waterhole. Unfortunately this time around the service was horrible and reception staff was extremely rude. We paid p250pppn and p40 for bundle of firewood. For that price they need to work on their hospitality.

Our second visit in four years. Nothing seemed to have changed in that time, except for the proliferation of yellow numberplate signs containing instructions for guests had mutiplied, without any of the old paper ones being taken down. If you like being told what to do you'll like it here. 

However, the staff were delightful and the setting superb. Not many animals for us on this visit, but that's nature for you. 

The accommodation and camp sites are definitely showing their age, and baboon damage, but still serviceable. 

Wifi was very slow and very time limited. Good for a few simple messages only. No sign at all of improved Mascom sim signal on our visit. 

Hot water available evening and again early morning thanks to the staff lighting fires under the water tank. Lovely.

The waterhole was great and we saw some beautiful animals from upclose. We loved that part, but did not really like the campsite itself. De sites are messy and uneven and the swimmingpool was really dirty. Think they can do a better job at maintaining the place.

Arrived with no booking. Nice welcome from Wami. Own ablutions at all sites with hot shower. Ours was not too clean and rather run down and smelly. I would say most people come here for the great waterhole. Also a nice small pool was welcome in the heat. Great for animal variety and sightings but we will not return. Not worth P240pp.

Camping for South Africans P230 pppn.
There are two access roads from the main A3. The one marked 4x4 only is challenging uphill initially on hot, deep sand. Beware that Senyati will charge you 1000 Pula to come and pull you out if you get stuck on this track! The alternative 2x4 access track is a bit longer but easy going on mainly hard packed sand. Watch for the two entrance signs spaced a km apart on the main road.
Most sites only partially shaded and for some a tight fit with high vehicles or roof tops. Site 1 has decent shade if your rig is not too high when set up. Own ablutions and scullery on each site but water heated by donkeys which in our case never produced water hot enough for dish washing and the staff only produced wood for the donkey for evening showers, not for the morning. Electricity at each site but bins and braais scattered. Elephants come and go to drink and bathe at Senyati’s waterhole and its famous viewing tunnel allowing photographers to get very close to the ellies at the waterhole. Nice bar on the viewing platform (but no Gordons gin stocked unless you buy their own home brewed Senyati gin based on Gordons so......?). Wifi but only internet connected at 5pm. Poor Mascom mobile signal.

Report Check-In

What a dissapointment. I wl rather stay on the road and do bush camping then come to this place again. the only way you can see any animals is when you leave your camping site and walk there. this is not what they are advertising. the campsites is very uneven and the bathrooms is a joke. no maintenance for years. a so called strong point that every campsite has its own bathroom. I would rather use my small basin and the toilet is a disgrace. 10 minutes after we arrived I wanted my money back because we paid cash and the lady said she need to get permission from the " financial manager" and he is not available, while a elderly person was in the office and looked me in the eye without greeting. I was so upset I walked out and decided to spend the day there after all but learned a lesson not to ever visit Sinyati ever again. There a lots of friendly campsites with better views and much cheaper all over Botswana.

Report Check-In

Really nice campsite, we had many elephants crossing our camp and the hide is spectacular.

Only thing is that we really did not feel welcome here with our little kids (2 and 4). When we arrived the owner mentioned directly that she didn’t hope a lot of families would follow our example to come with their kids (which didn’t gave us a really welcome feeling as you might understand) . The owner gave us the most isolated site so we could not ‘disturb’ the other guests (which was a great one by the way… number 19). Everywhere there are signs that ask children not to come there, not to do certain thing, to be silent, not to jump etc. (The most briljant one I put attached.)

I think this place is awesome, but not really suitable for little kids (what I can understand), but maybe they should just don’t allow kids instead of chasing families away like this.

Nice place, but expensive for what you get. WiFi only working after 5pm and there is no restaurant. Expect from that the wildlife and bush feeling are great. The waterhole is special and sightings great.

Report Check-In

Maybe i was expecting too much from the place but …
The employees are not extremely nice nor helpful, it seems they are terrified by the boss. . Consequence is the ambiance is not great and you can really feel it during your stay. (You have to pay everything straight, and not at check out - no exception). When you arrive the first question is what have you paid what do you need to pay .. No restaurant. Wifi not working.
The campsites are too close from each other and sometimes they are overcrowded (4 tents per site). the ablutions are outdated and would need refreshment. On top The ground is not even.
You will see wild life and elephants from the lookout but … if you have travelled around in botswana then you will have seen elephants close too.
The access by the 4x4 road is very easy.

Report Check-In

Paid 230 for camping. It’s 4km on the Lesomo 4x2 road. This is doable but unpleasant with a bicycle, some pushing involved. Don’t take the 4x4 road if heading south from Kasungulu but take the next turn off and follow signs. It’s all about the watering hole and elephant hide out/bunker where you’re about 5 metres from the elephants, looking up at them. Beer is 25 for a little can. No food. Each camp spot has its own washing/,cooking building with brai and fire pit. Fire heated Hot water in evening, warm water in morning.

We were here before in 2018. Good memories brought me back but it was a mistake. I was charged P220 per person. Compared to all our camps through Namibia up to here this is the most expensive camp for mediocre facilities. A bit of a disappointment.

**Correction to the top post: they do take credit cards.**
Beautiful campsite with lots of big trees and shade all day. Every site has its own little platform with a pretty straw roof and private ablution and a kitchen sink and electricity. Private fire place and braai area. All included in the price. You can buy firewood and fire starters in the store.
There's a nice bar and lounge area to sit and watch the animals who visit the waterhole. I was there in the rainy season but still saw enormous herds of buffalo, zebras, wildebeest, impala and so many elephants. It was unreal! The birdlife is unbelievable as well.
There's a little store, where you can but meat packs, drinks, coffee and order pizza from a pizzaria in town. (has to be paid in cash) The bar is not open every night, probably as a result of Covid and few visitors, so ask them and buy drinks in the store before they close.
Toilet paper is included. Just ask for it. Cleaning was done every day, while I was there.

230 Pula pppn. Bar not open. No staff except security after dark so couldn't get the WiFi password. Owners not visibly present. No loo roll at this price! The donkey was only relit a little before 8 in the morning meaning cold showers if leaving before 9 - again at the price point this should be better.
Small mixed herds of elephants visiting after dark.

Nice place! Lots of elephants around and we heard a couple days ago a lion with cubs!

Ablutions are fine and it's nice it's private. Not all the sites are equal so have a look with rooftoptents.

Expensive for families, from 4_12 years it's 130 Pula and adults 210 pppn.
We paid with Visa.

They also sell meat and cold drinks :)

Be ready for a close encounter with wild Elephants and Buffaloes like you have never had before. What a gem! Owners (Louw and Lulu) are also very friendly and we enjoyed sharing stories with them in our native tongue. We arrived with no prior booking and was only planning to stay one night; Lulu and her team quickly welcomed us and made sure that we were well taken care off. We ended up staying 2 nights with a self-drive in Chobe NP. We camped at stand no. 2 as it is close to the viewing deck but also nice and secluded with elephants passing close by on their way to the waterhole. As per other reviews, each stand has a private ablution with hot shower (boiler), toilet, basin, kitchen, electricity and loads of space. We will be back!!!

We camped for two nights and enjoyed our stay - current rate is 200 BWP per person/night plus the government levy. Wood is sold for 40 BWP a bundle.
Each campsite is different so take a walk around before choosing your site.
The viewing deck and hide are amazing but the bar is currently closed.
There is mobile reception but no data reception - WiFi is still available from 5pm - 9pm at the viewing deck.

We stayed 4 nights here and had a fantastic experience.

The private ablutions/wash-up area were cleaned daily; toilet paper is available as you need, from reception. The Banda that both are located in has power outlets and plenty of space to sit under shelter in case of rain/shade. All amenities were entirely functional.

Hot water is prepared via donkey boiler at around 4pm everyday (staff offered to light the fire at other times if needed). There is a designated fire pit and braai stand as well.

The days we were there, the pool was clean and a great way to cool off.

All of the staff that we interacted with (maintenance, reception, bar) were friendly and were able to answer our questions.

While each campsite is not entirely secluded, we did not find privacy a problem- lots of trees/bushes.

The bar area and bunker/hide are a fantastic experience- we had nearly 100 elephants visit multiple evenings. There is also a pleasant (& free) game drive you can do in the area.

We visited during offseason during their bird watcher special (Jan.-March)- 100pula pppn. After 10 months in Eastern/Southern Africa, we found this place to be a bargain! Would recommend.

So there are some big positives to this place and a equally big negatives that need to be mentioned. We went in the rainy season and you need a 4x4, which we had and loved the muddy road. Excellent elephant viewing opportunities and ok comping. In all we had a great time. The last night was extremely odd. We extended our stay on arrival, and paid full up. We woke at 10 pm on the last night with the managers car lights on our tent. She then drove off and sent, what felt like a thug, to demand what we were doing there. Super aggressive and rude. We had been there for 3 nights already!! All was eventually resolved as I had made friends with the night guard who explained who I was and had to actually vouched for me. Which brings me to the negative here. The staff at this place seem to live in another world and lack training. Big Time! It could be great if they had some basic training and did not appear to not understand a word you are saying. I do suggest that you visit, but go expecting very basic services and you will not be disappointed.

OK place. Clean but old private shower and toilet. Very sandy. It has got some good facilities, such as laundry and transfer to Vic Falls, but it’s a very normal, expensive and old place. All the animals seen here can be seen anywhere else. Nothing special.

Report Check-In

Underwhelming. It feels as if this place is resting on the great reputation and reviews it had 5-10 years ago, but have done no work to modernise or fix their facilities. The ablutions were in need of some serious TLC. The sites are very close together, all have a private washing up station and ablutions block, electricity and shade/shelter, but as I said in need of some work and care. We also had A LOT of insects, and only a fluorescent light whereas some sites had red lights which don't attract so many insects. We stayed for 2 nights because we had booked their Victoria Falls transfer (p350 pp). The waterhole and bunker hide are worth spending some time at, and the swimming pool was nice.

Report Check-In

Very nice campsite with very clean private ablutions. Shade on every campsite, also electricity. Great bar area -, especislly the photographer bunker - it is amszing to see the elephants at the waterhole so close and from a frog perspective! Nice, fenced pool area. We paid 200 Pula pppn.

The self-catering chalets are expensive (P1770 for two people) but they’re cosy and clean. Nice shower with hot and cold water and a proper, clean flush toilet. Our chalet (no. 3) only had single beds but they have good mosquito nets around them. The eating area is outside in the patio/porch so we had to eat while sitting on the beds on our first night because there was a rain storm. Our chalet was about 30m from the water hole, so we had a great view of the elephants drinking and cooling off.

Report Check-In

We can’t comment on the quality of the camp itself (looked quite good) but had a bad booking experience so wanted to share learnings. We emailed the camp asking for availability 48 hours before the desired date, they replied that there were indeed available campsites and that we needed to reply back and confirm we wanted to book one. We did reply at 4pm the day before but upon arrival were told by a very unapologetic receptionist that she had not seen our last email (since she reads oldest emails first and she had 40 emails in her inbox) and therefore had not sent us back a booking number without which you don’t have an official confirmed booking. Very disappointing experience so remember, no reservation number, no confirmed booking!

nice campsite, expensive though and ablutions are getting old but elephants and buffalos just 50m away, at water hole. We couldn't make it for 1st night of our booking and they kept the deposit (1/2price). Now it is 200ppp. Booking is a must, some people couldn't stay and they arrived at 13:00!

Our highlight of Botswana. We loved the private porch with toilet and shower that was cleaned, 15 minutes after we arrived by friendly lady. Receptionists both grumpy, but rest of staff friendly. But the climax was the waterhole with bunker and lookout terrace. We got lucky: enormous herd of buffalos and many herds of elephants 2 evenings in a row and impalas in the morning. And the relaxed terrace where you can watch it all is priceless. Also lucky with low season 100 pula pppn.

The elephants at the water, just in front of the bar, are magnificant and worth a stay! It has a nice campsite with toilet, shower and sort of kitchen block under a veranda. The pool is refreshing. WiFi is slow and mostly not working well and the bar is opened on specific times. But who cares; you’ve got wildlife just in front of you and you can almost touch it.

Nice campground but a bit expensive for 200.- pppn. You can do the laundry for 100.- a bag. The whole afternoon there was no single animal at the waterhole but around 5pm some elephants came and that was amazing. Especially from the bunker. Also a herd of impalas very passing by. Unfortunately, we had a long thunderstorm with rain in the evening and we thinking therefore no more animals were coming.
Early morning we‘ve seen some wild dogs.
The wifi is not too bad (5-9pm) and the staff was friendly.
You can book day trips for example to Vic Falls. They pick you up in the campground. I think they have their own bus.

The evening was magical with all those elephants just 8m in front of you. And if you go to the bunker you have them just 1m in front of your eyes. Thr were like 5 baby elephants, so cute. But senyati is still too expensive for what it is. Sure, you have your own shower and toilet, but its not that clean as in other campgrounds where you share it. And also the receptionist wasn‘t friendly at all. If you want to see the elephants so close, you should go. Otherwise its not worth it.

We enjoyed this campsite quite a lot. The waterhole with the photography bunker where you can look the elephants straight in the eye makes it quite special. You can have an elephantastic coffee (which I totally recommend) and watch the wildlife from the sofa. Stunning! So it´s no problem that the Wifi is only on for two hours per day.
The campsites are spacious and every spot has its own ablution block with a donkey shower, Braaistand, fire place and electricity.
To make this place perfect to relax they now have a tiny but brand-new pool.

Definitely the best place to stay in Kasane, prebooking is fairly essential. Stayed in chalet #1 right in front of the waterhole with spectacular views. Hundreds of elephant drinking and playing in the other water hole all evening. Underground bunker was insane, elephants less than 1m away looking into the bunker trying to figure you out.

Camping is 195p
Chalet is 1400p
Family chalet #1 is 1600p for four

They can organise any trips for you. Excellent bar set up, decent facilities. Camp is located about 500m of sandy 4x4 track from the tar road. Laundry service for 100p per bag. Would definitely stay here again

Report Check-In

This used to be a very nice, laid-back, characteristic, quiet place, close to Kasane. Now it is a commercialised overcrowded campground, twice as expensive as all the other lodges in Kasane @195 ppn. If you're not going into Chobe it is an excellent place to see elephants close. But if you do go into the park you can spare yourself the very unfriendly attitude of the owners. Rather go to Tilodi lodge & camp a few km South on the same road!

Fantastic! Our favorite campsite during a month in Botswana. Very friendly staff. Hundreds of elephants at the waterhole (August is dry season). So cool to watch them up close from the underground bunker. Clean private ablutions with separate shower, toilet, wash up area. For this country, a good deal at P190 pppn.

Report Check-In

We think that this is quite a special place. The attention to cleanliness is very high and we found both the staff and the owner to be extremely helpful and friendly and willing to impart information about the wildlife.
The waterhole is kept supplied with freshly pumped water and thus attracts many, many elephants. We also spotted zebra, impala and giraffe from the viewing area.
The underground hide is very good, allowing a close up of the animals drinking.
Quite expensive for a private camp but very well worth the cost if you bear in mind that you are paying for the experience of being so close and unfenced from so many elephants.

What a delightful spot! A bit pricy at P1400 for a chalet, but after a night in the mud in the car it's a pleasure.

Sandy terrain with trees. Every place has its own ablution block with toilet, shower, kitchen. Waterhole in front of bar where lots of elephants come to bath and drink in the evening. WiFi from 17:00 until 21:00. Probably our most expensive site so far.
