Bush Ways opens Mababe Tented Camp in Botswana

Bush Ways Botswana, a mobile safari and lodge operator, has unveiled Mababe Tented Camp, its newest safari property in the Mababe Concession, a key corridor linking Khwai, Savuti, and Chobe. 

The camp, opening in April 2026, sits on the banks of the Khwai River and will operate seasonally from April through December. It offers travelers an exclusive and serene environment to experience one of Botswana’s most celebrated wilderness areas.

The launch strengthens Bush Ways’ commitment to authentic safari experiences, sustainable tourism, and community engagement, providing access to Botswana’s diverse landscapes, rich wildlife, and cultural heritage.

Mababe Concession: Private safari retreat

Mababe Concession offers a mix of floodplains, riverine forests, and open grasslands. Its location along the Khwai River, combined with natural waterholes, ensures year-round wildlife viewing.

As a private concession with limited vehicle traffic, it provides a more intimate and peaceful safari experience for travelers seeking privacy and a genuine connection to nature. 

The area supports large elephant herds, lions, leopards, and a wide variety of bird species. Open plains and clear sightlines create ideal conditions for wildlife photography, with natural backdrops and striking light enhancing every moment.

Mababe Camp supports wildlife, locals

Bush Ways Botswana continues to prioritize responsible tourism. Mababe Tented Camp contributes to local employment and supports conservation efforts, ensuring the benefits of tourism extend to both wildlife and neighboring communities. 

The camp’s design and operations aim to harmonize with the environment while offering guests a personal and immersive experience.

Bush Ways’ trusted safari reputation continues

With over 30 years of experience operating in Botswana, Bush Ways brings seasoned guides, deep regional knowledge, and a well-established reputation for meaningful safari experiences. 

Mababe Tented Camp makes some of Botswana’s most celebrated wildlife areas accessible to travelers who value quality guiding and authentic encounters over luxury frills, striking a balance between comfort and the raw beauty of the bush. 

Guests can expect comfortable tented accommodation that blends into the landscape, creating a calm and intimate environment. Every aspect of the camp emphasizes connection to wildlife, to the land, and to the people who call it home.
