Motswedi campsite is located within the Mokala National Park. This is an unfenced campsite, and is located around a small dam. The animals do come and drink from the dam.

Each campsite has it's own ablution block. Also at each campsite is a gas fridge, cooker and a nice work area and wash up facility. 

There is no electric power at Motswedi, so bring your solar panels along. No fuel is available in the park. There is a small shop at reception (about 5km from the campsite).

They do also offer chalets.

This is an ideal campsite if you are travelling from Johannesburg or Pretoria to the Kalahari ! They have stands with both private and with communal ablutions. There is not much grass, but then it is the Kalahari !! Stands have electric power points and are all clearly marked. Private ablution stands have their own shade unbrella as well as a nice braai pit. The communal stands have a really nice built in braai as well as a wasj up fcacility. The communal ablutions are the cleanest that we have seen !! There is a swimming pool and a lovely restaurant. But there is no shop or fuel.

They also have chalet accommodation.

What we liked about this campsite:

• Lovely clean ablutions
• Electric power
• The braai
• Lovely peaceful setting
• The animals
• Great restaurant (we had breakfast and it was really good)
• Self drive around the farm

What we did not like:

• Nothing !
