Boteti River Camp
Boteti River Camp is positioned along the Boteti River on the boundary of Makgadikgadi Pans National Park, near Khumaga village. The Boteti is a seasonal lifeline for desert wildlife in this part of Botswana — during the dry season the river becomes one of the region's most important water sources, drawing large concentrations of animals to drink near the camp, a water-driven game-viewing dynamic that differs from the private, cultural-immersion model of the Kalahari camps.
The camp is set beneath shade trees along the riverbank, with a 'peaceful and intimate' positioning rather than a large-scale lodge product. Rate categories suggest a tiered accommodation offering: a standard camp rate, a lower-cost 'Mini Meru Tent' option, and a self-catering/self-camping ground with separate adult and child pricing — an unusually flexible, budget-accessible product among Bush Ways' properties.
Activity content is limited to standard guided game drives, with no walking safaris, night drives, cultural programming or spa/pool facilities mentioned. It functions as a strategic stopover/water-feature camp on Bush Ways' multi-property circuit itineraries (featuring on both directions of the 11-night Sable Safari) rather than a standalone activity-rich destination.
