from P60, s/d tents P200/350)
This no-frills rest camp off Shorobe Rd is spotless and
boasts what justifiably may be 'the cleanest ablution blocks in Maun'. The owners also
pride themselves on turning away the overland truck and party crowd (there's no bar), so
you can be assured of a quiet and undisturbed night's rest here.

'Croc Camp' occupies a superb spot right on
the river and is a quieter place for those not needing shots of presafari sambuca (not that it
doesn't serve sambuca). Off Shorobe Rd, the campsite is excellent and secure, and there
are also thatched riverside chalets with bathrooms.

Dutch-run Discovery does a cool job of creating an African-village vibe in the midst
of Maun - the owners strive for and achieve 'affordable accommodation with a traditional
touch'. The thatched,
rondavel
-style housing looks pretty bush from the outside and feels
as posh as a nice hotel on the inside. A pretty garden connects the dusty grounds, and
there's a good communal fire pit for safari stories with fellow travellers.
