Something not right?
Description
A small detour from the main road with lots of hippo, fish eagles and buffalo! Last time I passed it had some elephants as well
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Latest Check-Ins
Many cars going on the track there so it’s ok to rest but if you want to stay for the night you better hide in the bush.
Report Check-InDetour from water on road leads to hippos pool. 30+ up close and some out of water.. best sitting of the trip
Report Check-InSeveral places to park beside the road at Mababe Depression. There is a big permanent Waterhole also in dry season with many Hippos and lots of Elefants in the evening. Nice place but not good for the night any more. It seems to be the main road now passing by this location and also the 2 spots further south because of a big waterhole on the main road. 5 Cars passed by after sunset and they wanted us to pay 300 BWP p.P. for parking here. We left at 8 pm and went 5 km further on a side track in the bush. But this also was only an emergency spot.
Report Check-Inwe spent a very nice night there among hippos and elephants. BUT in the morning some guys from the Mababe community asked for money, 300pula/person. we asked to talk to their boss who came 2 hours later. very aggressive about us breaking the law and being in a private concession where we could have met hunters. Well, that wasn't a nice encounter and it seems it might not been allowed to camp there.
Report Check-InAs was described amazing spot for overnight road good even at the wet season
Report Check-InA really nice spot to stop not muddy even in the wet season, many elephants and other antelope. Good BTC communication
Report Check-InVery nice spot. camped one night and saw elefants, impala, warthog and lots of hippos. can very much recommend.
Report Check-Init's a permanent waterhole, at the end of the dry season still a lot of water
Report Check-Invery nice place, thanks for sharing! We saw a lot of elephants, hippos, buffalos, jackals and monkeys. All the cars use this "detour" to go to mababe. In the morning and in the evening a few tourist jeeps pass, but we spent there two nights and nobody disturbed us.
