NATURAL SELECTION TO OPEN NEW DELTA CAMP
Natural Selection will open Moklolwane Plains, a new safari camp in Botswana’s southern Okavango Delta, in July 2027.
Located along the Xudum River in the 200,000-hectare NG29 concession, the camp sits in an area known for its year-round wildlife viewing, with floodplains, lagoons, palm islands and riverine forests.
The camp will initially offer 5 luxury tented suites, with a family suite and private villa set to open later in the year. Each suite will feature 100m² of indoor space, private outdoor areas and plunge pools.
Guests will be able to enjoy game drives, mokoro and boat safaris, as well as helicopter flights over the Delta.
Natural Selection says the new camp will also support wildlife conservation, monitoring programmes and conservation education initiatives in neighbouring communities.
