Naledi Camp
THE CAMP

A small camp on the Boteti River

Naledi Camp has one treehouse and three safari tents for a maximum of 8 guests. The camp sits on the high bank of the Boteti, about 20 m above the riverbed, with the national park on the other side of the river.

Days start early with coffee on the deck and end at the fire under a clear night sky. Our team cooks for you, guides you and looks after you personally.

Maximum of 8 guests

Naledi Camp hosts at most 8 guests in the treehouse and three safari tents.

That means quiet decks, meals cooked for you and activities planned around your group. Families and small groups can also book the entire camp.

The river in view from the camp

Naledi Camp sits on the high bank of the Boteti, about 20 m above the riverbed.

From the decks you look down onto the river. With some luck you see elephants, hippos and kudu at the water without leaving camp. For lions and other big game, plan a safari into the national park.
