Desert and Delta Safaris has launched the Tsodilo Hills Sleep-Out Camp in Botswana, an exclusive overnight expedition from Nxamaseri Island Lodge, offering access to one of the world’s most undiscovered Unesco World Heritage Sites, Tsodilo Hills.
The camp features eco-friendly pods inspired by traditional nomadic Bushman dwellings, providing an immersive experience in the region’s cultural heritage and natural beauty. Guests can explore ancient rock art, witness breathtaking sunrises from Botswana’s highest peak, and learn about the local San community.
Accommodation includes twin/double pods and a family dwelling, nestled within the Zambezi teak trees. Four comfortable canvas pods on elevated platforms with a maximum capacity of eight adults and two children, provide an eco-friendly retreat, with the majestic Male Hill, the highest peak in Botswana, providing a backdrop. The pods have outdoor showers and toilets and are designed and built in collaboration with the local community.
The camp is available for bookings of three nights or more at Nxamaseri Island Lodge and the bookings will open on September 15.
Guests will be transferred from Nxamaseri Island Lodge via boat along the Nxamaseri channel, followed by a closed 4WD vehicle transfer to the Tsodilo Hills, taking 60-80 minutes depending on water levels.
Alternatively, guests can upgrade to a helicopter transfer to witness the hills from above as they descend towards the sleep-out camp, with a total transfer time of 10-15 minutes and an optional 10-minute add-on for a bird’s-eye view of the Okavango Panhandle. This is the only place in Africa where two Unesco World Heritage Sites – the Okavango Delta and Tsodilo Hills – converge.
This unique opportunity allows travellers to experience Botswana’s wonders in an unparalleled way.
