Gidichaa Camp is a small exclusive wilderness tented camp located in NG 3 conservation area in NW Botswana. Gidichaa used to be an old hunting camp but now has been renovated to provide comfortable experiences for our guests. We strive to produce great wholesome meals and provide "Luxury for Less".
The camp is in a natural depression which contains several pans attracting a myriad of birds and animals to the location. Even in the dry season when pans naturally dry up, we pump water into a pan closest to the camp, so guests can see the animals and birds from the comfort of the tents or relaxation areas. Game drives are not necessary in the winter season, as you could sit at the pool or up in the tower and watch the animals coming to drink, the only water available in this vast area.
The tents are "Mara" style safari tents with bathrooms en-suite. There are queen and twin beds available. The camp can accommodate 6 people, very comfortably, in 3 tents. The camp is situated far from civilization and is very peaceful and ideal to "digitally detox" as there is no cell service and limited internet. The camp has a small library so guests can read, relax in the pool or lounge on the pool deck. We cater to carnivores, vegetarians and vegans with a little notice as provisioning in this location can be a little challenging. The camp will be for the exclusive use of one group at a time - from 2-6 people. That way you get to experience the place as your very own. We will not take any other bookings for that period of your occupation.
Elephants are regular visitors and wild dogs are often seen close up. We have zebras, kudu, Oryx, and smaller antelope species that visit the waterhole. Occasionally wildebeest or Roan grace us with their presence. Lucky viewers may also see caracal, brown hyena, honey badgers, bat-eared fox and occasionally leopard at the pan. At night the spring hares, hares, duiker and porcupine come into camp to eat the left over bird feed and drink out of the bird bath.
