Take a light aircraft from Maun to Motswiri airstrip ~35–45 min, or from Kasane to Motswiri airstrip ~55–65 min flight time. Transfer from airstrip to camp is ~5 min by vehicle. At Great Plains Botswana camps, rates include the light-aircraft flights & airstrip transfers/inter-camp hops per routing with a min-stay of 2 nights rule apply.
All tents share similar layout and sit on low decking with mosquito-netted beds, fans, charging, a veranda, and en-suite with flush loo, hot shower & double basins.
Unfussy, expedition-style cuisine served under canvas or al-fresco by the fire. Mornings start with early coffee & rusks and often bush breakfasts on drive; picnic/larder lunches keep you out all day; evenings are relaxed plated three-course dinners by lantern. Menus are happily tailored (strong plant-forward options on request, with quality proteins like Botswana beef, free-range chicken and local freshwater bream).
Soft duffel; neutral layers (chilly dawns Jun–Aug), light rain shell (Nov–Mar), buff for dust, headlamp, and sandals/swimsuit for channel-edge cooldowns when water is up.
Mix long drives with at least one guided walk and if the Spillway floods, book a golden-hour canoe and a boat-in/drive-back combo. Work treeline edges at first/last light for wild dog & lion.
Levy supports anti-poaching, habitat protection and community programs; the camp runs on portable solar with low-impact build principles.
