Overview

Located between two national parks, Mababe spans more than 50,000 hectares on the eastern fringe of the Okavango Delta and the famed Moremi Game Reserve, to the south of Chobe National Park. Unique in Botswana, the area’s nutrient-rich grasses are fed with a constant supply of water, thanks to the Mababe River and the waters of the Okavango, which drain into the Mababe wetland. The result is an incredible environment, including three distinct habitats: grassland plains, mopane and acacia woodlands, and the marsh system fed by the Mababe River. This environment supports an exceptional ecosystem with impressive herds, an abundance of predators and an array of birdlife. Each year, the 2,600-hectare marsh is reinvigorated by the seasonal inflow, drawing wildlife from all directions in search of the life-giving water-source.

  • The best viewing of mega herd aggregations, followed by exceptional predator-prey interaction.
  • Prime position in an exclusive wildlife area, set between the world-famous Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park.
  • Its unique distal lake means Mababe is the closest water source for hundreds of miles to the east, north and south, attracting mega herds of plains game, and incredible diversity of other wildlife.
