Discover everything about this accommodation

Ihaha Campsite lies west of Kasane in Botswana, beside the Chobe River in Chobe National Park. It is a simple campsite with good ablution facilities and a setting directly on the water. Ihaha is included in most Selfdrive4x4 Botswana itineraries.

During the dry season, you look out over an area where hippos gather. From the campsite, you can take your own 4x4 on morning and late-afternoon game drives along the Chobe River.

In the dry season, wildlife comes to the water.

Especially in the dry season, during the European summer months, there is a good chance of seeing large herds of buffalo along the Chobe River. Elephants also arrive in large numbers to drink in the afternoon.

The campsite is unfenced, so wild animals can move freely past your vehicle and tent. Baboons may visit during the day, so avoid leaving food unattended. In the evening, hyenas may move through camp looking for leftover food.

Our main facilities.

  • Hot showers
  • Braai

The sun rises over the dunes of Sossusvlei. An elephant appears at a waterhole in Etosha. And further along, the lush landscapes of the Okavango and Chobe await. Over these nineteen days, you travel through three countries, with the freedom to make your own choices along the way. You camp in remarkable places, swap gravel roads for 4x4 tracks and finish with two nights at Victoria Falls. The final stretch? You can leave the driving to someone else.
