Shalimpo Main Camp is a seven-unit establishment registered with Botswana Tourism as an operating game lodge and tented camp in eastern Botswana. Game properties on this side of the country sit on private land and reserves between the A1 and the Limpopo, a landscape of mopane, sandstone and river courses that carries good game without the concession pricing of the delta.

Facilities at Shalimpo Main Camp
We list no facilities here. The official register records the licence class and address but not the facility detail, and no other verifiable source was available, so anything more would be guesswork.
Location and access
In eastern Botswana, in the game country between the A1 corridor and the Limpopo. The national register records this establishment as operating but does not publish a physical address for it, so we place it at region level rather than guess at a plot or a concession.
Francistown, and why it is on this site
Francistown is Botswana’s second city and a working one: mining, freight and the road and rail routes to Zimbabwe and South Africa. Very few people come here for a holiday, and the accommodation reflects that.
It matters to travellers anyway, because it is the practical overnight between the Tuli Block, the Makgadikgadi and the border posts. Many of its beds are in bed and breakfasts on suburban plots that never appear on an international booking channel.
Who it suits
- Travellers wanting game viewing in eastern Botswana
- Visitors combining Tuli with the A1 towns
- Photographers working the eastern river country
- Guests wanting a small camp rather than a lodge
