Crocodile Camp Safari & Spa

Crocodile Camp Safari & Spa is an established riverside lodge and campsite on the Thamalakane River, roughly 12km from Maun town, positioned as a gateway property to the Moremi Game Reserve and the Okavango Delta rather than an in-reserve Big Five lodge. It first opened in 1946 and has been part of the SKL Group of Camps since 2017. It is a large, long-running operation rather than a boutique or recently built camp, and considerably more communal than a typical exclusive-use safari camp.

There are five accommodation categories: 10 Standard Deluxe Rooms, 12 Executive/Mowana Rooms (with four-poster beds), 6 Superior Rooms, 3 Presidential Rooms (individually decorated, with private decks over the river) and Standard Family Rooms, alongside a separate campsite. The site accommodates up to 84 lodging guests plus 100 campers. Facilities include the Croc Rock Bar overlooking the river, a restaurant and outdoor dining area, a swimming pool, a conference centre and the on-site Marulana Spa.

Game drives run into the Moremi Game Reserve, alongside a Thamalakane River boat cruise, mokoro excursions, village tours, bird watching and optional helicopter scenic flights. The operator's own activities page also references Chobe National Park, some 600km away. That reads as templated content shared across the SKL Group's camps rather than an activity genuinely offered from this property, so verify it directly before quoting it to a client.

Crocodile Camp holds 3.5 out of 5 on TripAdvisor from 78 reviews, ranked #38 of 80 specialty lodging in Maun. Guests praise the riverside setting, the bar and the friendly staff. Because this is a large, mixed lodge-and-campsite operation rather than an exclusive-use property, we position it as a comfortable, well-located gateway stop rather than an exclusive-use luxury safari camp, which makes it a better fit for guests who value convenience and a lively riverside atmosphere over seclusion. Published room rates were not found on the operator's site, and the children's policy, power backup and Wi-Fi are not published either, so please confirm all of these directly. Reservations run via the croccamp.com booking system or res.croccamp@sklcamps.co.bw, and we can request a tailored quotation on your behalf.
