Slow down. Connect with Nature. Discover the Okavango Panhandle.
Nestled beneath towering indigenous trees on the banks of the Okavango River, Askiesbos Samochima Bush Camp offers a relaxed and authentic bush experience in Botswana's beautiful Okavango Panhandle. Overlooking papyrus-lined waterways, where hippos surface at dusk and birdlife is abundant throughout the day, the camp is an ideal retreat for travellers seeking tranquillity, nature and genuine Botswana hospitality.
Whether you spend a few nights unwinding by the river or exploring the waterways of the Panhandle, Askiesbos invites you to experience one of Botswana's most scenic and least-visited regions at a slower pace.

The Okavango Panhandle is one of Botswana's most beautiful hidden treasures. Here, the Okavango River meanders through broad channels lined with papyrus reeds, creating an oasis for birdlife and offering a completely different safari experience from the game-rich central Delta.
From Askiesbos, guests can explore the waterways by boat or traditional mokoro, enjoy excellent fishing, or simply relax while watching hippos, crocodiles and an incredible variety of birds from the comfort of camp.
Scenic flights over the Okavango reveal the intricate network of waterways from above, while excursions to the nearby UNESCO World Heritage Site of Tsodilo Hills provide fascinating insights into Botswana's ancient history and San rock art.
The Panhandle is a destination for those who appreciate unspoilt landscapes, peaceful waterways and authentic experiences in nature. It is the perfect complement to a classic wildlife safari elsewhere in Botswana.
