Wilderness Mokete
Discover Botswana's Untamed Frontier

Journey beyond the traditional safari circuit and experience one of Botswana's most remote wilderness areas at Wilderness Mokete. Set where the lush Okavango ecosystem gradually transitions into open grasslands and arid landscapes, this extraordinary destination offers an authentic safari filled with unexpected wildlife encounters and true adventure. Every day unfolds differently, making each moment as wild and unpredictable as nature itself.

Perfectly positioned between two national parks within the remarkable Mababe Depression, just north of Mababe Marsh, Mokete overlooks an ecosystem nourished by permanent water sources. Rich grazing plains attract vast herds of wildlife, creating a spectacular setting where predators, plains game, and prolific birdlife thrive together.

The Spirit of Mokete

Meaning "celebration" or "feast" in Setswana, Mokete invites guests to celebrate the raw beauty of one of Botswana's least explored wilderness regions. Once used as hunting grounds and now reclaimed by nature, this exclusive camp is the only safari lodge operating within this untouched landscape. Far from busy tourist routes, guests enjoy an immersive safari experience surrounded by open horizons, peaceful silence, and remarkable wildlife.

Every game drive offers the excitement of the unknown. Patient observers are rewarded with sightings of impressive lion prides, while spotted hyenas, cheetahs, African wild dogs, bat-eared foxes, jackals, servals, and African wild cats all inhabit this remarkable ecosystem.

Accommodation

Designed to immerse guests in the surrounding wilderness, Mokete accommodates only 18 guests across nine beautifully appointed luxury tents. Innovative retractable canvas roofs open to reveal breathtaking views of the African night sky, allowing guests to sleep beneath the stars. Private plunge pools and spacious decks provide the perfect place to relax while elephants, antelope, and other wildlife pass nearby, creating unforgettable moments throughout the day and night.

Dining

Dining at Mokete embraces the freedom of the safari experience rather than fixed schedules. Enjoy gourmet bush lunches in the heart of the wilderness without missing any wildlife activity. Back at camp, unwind with sundowners overlooking endless grasslands before gathering beneath the stars for elegant outdoor dinners, sharing stories of the day's incredible sightings in an unforgettable setting.
