Locations
Camp Botswana has two locations:

Here, campers connect with Botswana’s rich natural heritage engaging with local traditions and communities, take part in hands-on sustainability and conservation projects.

Home to Botswana’s vibrant capital, our Gaborone camp is located in the heart of where the action is. It is the perfect blend of community engagement, conservation, and educational placement to create a rich, hands-on learning experience.
