Askiesbos Samochima Bush Camp sits at Samochima, on the Okavango just south of Shakawe where the Panhandle is still a single deep channel rather than a spreading delta. Camps on this stretch are built around the water: tiger fishing in the warmer months, birding in the papyrus and reed beds year round, and boat access to the Tsodilo side of the river. It is reached by road from Maun via Gumare and Sepopa rather than by air.

Location and access
At Samochima, Shakawe, in Shakawe. The national register records the ward but not a street address, and we do not invent one.
Small properties, and what they trade
Maun has a long tail of small owner-run guesthouses that sit between the big riverside lodges and the campsites. They are usually quieter and often better value, and they almost never have a restaurant, a pool of any size, or an activity desk.
A good number of them appear only on the national tourism register, with no website and no booking channel. That is not a sign they are not real; it is a sign they serve people who ring ahead.
Who it suits
