In our search for the most raw, remote, and untamed places on the planet, we discovered somewhere so wild, so abundant with life, it left us breathless, and a little bit emotional. Join us and explore where few have ventured before. Be one of the first to venture to this camp in a completely untouched area, where Wilderness is pioneering a safari experience unlike any you’ve seen before.
The name Mokete means celebration or feast. It’s a place to feast on the unexplored and celebrate the untamed. Here the action never ends. This is a place to be awed by the majesty of Africa with an unrivalled diversity of wildlife.
To place you in the heart of the drama, we’ve forgone walls and added cantilevered canvas roofs that slide away, revealing never-ending stars. Accommodating just 18 guests in nine tents, pioneering Mokete provides one of the most promising possibilities of intimate encounters all year. Whether sharing a drink with elephants in the middle of the day, or hearing hyena calls in the dead of night, it’s a feast for the senses.
INSIDER’S TIP: Be sure to spend some time at the sunken hide, eye-level with the colossal feet of breeding herds of elephants.
Each spacious en-suite canvas tent has a roof that slides away to reveal the stunning stars above, as well as a refreshing private plunge pool.

Explore the Mababe Private Wilderness Area on twice daily game drives, or if guests prefer, one long game drive. Highlights include the extraordinary wildlife that are drawn to the Mababe marsh; an incredible array of birds, the super herds of zebra and buffalo and the predators that follow, often hunting in broad daylight.
Walking in the wild with knowledgeable guides is a wonderful, authentic way of connecting to nature. Encounter the smaller creatures, those details of Africa missed when travelling by vehicle.
Spend an afternoon secretly observing wildlife come and go, from the safety of our sunken hide. Bring binoculars, bird books and cameras and wait for the wildlife to arrive.
In Mababe Village, learn about the culture of the area; hear stories told by village elders, learn to track the way the locals have done for generations. Try your hand at another ancient tradition of the region, basket-weaving, or join in on a friendly soccer match.
Take a thrilling flip over Mababe, and marvel at the size of the mega herds on the plains below. Enjoy vast, natural views in every direction, as Mokete is the only camp in this 50,000-hectare wilderness area.
