About Mokolwane Plains
In the southern reaches of the Okavango Delta, where the Xudum River's channels wind through 200,000 hectares of private wilderness, a new camp is taking shape: Mokolwane Plains.
Set within NG29, one of Botswana's largest concessions and home to Africa's third-highest recorded leopard density, this contemporary under-canvas camp offers exclusive access to a landscape of clear channels, hippo-filled lagoons and mature riverine forest. It's a stronghold for big cats, made famous by the BBC's Big Cats 24/7 and Netflix's Living with Leopards, both filmed on the concession.
Designed by award-winning Jack Alexander Studio, each of the five spacious suites is shaped as three interconnected pods, opening onto private decks and plunge pools with sweeping views across the Delta. Natural textures and handcrafted furnishings draw on the surrounding wilderness, while unfenced pathways allow elephants to continue moving freely through camp.
At its heart, communal spaces wrap around a stately fig tree, with an 18-metre pool, spa, show kitchen and wine cellar for guests to unwind between game drives, boat safaris and seasonal mokoro excursions.
Mokolwane Plains opens in July 2027, with a family suite and private villa following in 2028.

Mokolwane Plains Suite
Shaped as three interconnected pods, each suite responds organically to its riverside setting, preserving shade and privacy while framing sweeping views east across the Xudum River and the open plains. Indoors, 100 square metres of air-conditioned living space flows from a private lounge into a light-filled bedroom, opening onto generous private outdoor areas. Shaded salas, daybeds and a private plunge pool invite guests to spend as much time outside as in, while the en-suite bathroom offers both indoor and outdoor showers. Natural textures, timber and handcrafted furnishings draw on the surrounding wilderness, giving each suite a distinct sense of place.
