Tree Island Campsite

Botswana


Deliciously remote and overlooking a series of attractive small pans that are stunning around sunrise and sunset, Tree Island has three lovely sites that are slightly elevated above the surrounding grasslands and live up to their name with an oasis of shade. Site No 1 is our favourite, but it's a close-run thing.

Long-drop toilets and bucket showers sit adjacent to each site.

This site is especially good in the wet season, as the zebra migration passes by.

When we last visited, Tree Island was still to make an appearance on the Tracks4Africa GPS system. Ask for a paper map from the park gate when you enter, set your GPS to Njuca Hills Campsite, and follow the paper map from the Njuca Hills turn-off.
