Verena and Russel are absolute fabulous hosts. Beautiful bush surroundings. Great home cooked meals and good vibes. Our best stay in 4 weeks Namibia and Botswana. Would definitely recommend!!
NetherlandsWe had fun staying here, great hosts, good food, communal evening meal, cold beer and laughter
United KingdomExcellent hosts who assisted with my on going travels and we’re very kind Superb evening meal and food. Lovely tented accommodation Great value on the outside of Maun
United KingdomThe beds were super comfy and the duvets very warm. Especially with the cold winter nights. The hosts were excellent and very welcoming to their property. The wildlife in area was fantastic. Owls and Bush baby's were a highlight! Many different bird species to see. And only a 30min drive out of maun! A real little gem that we would love to stay at again. If only we had more time in Botswana

GermanyWundervolle Gastgeber und außergewöhnliches Essen
GermanyWir hatten vier ganz besondere Tage bei Verena und Russel im Tshima Bush Camp! Die beiden sind äußerst herzliche Gastgeber und haben uns sehr verwöhnt. Das Essen war das beste, das wir auf unserer vierwöchigen Reise hatten: morgens gab es Frühstück mit selbst gemachtem Joghurt und Brot, Smoothie, Ei und Aufschnitt, abends ein mit viel Liebe und Aufwand zubereitetes und sehr vielfältiges Drei-Gang-Menü vom Feinsten! Besonders genossen haben wir die Gemeinschaft und Gespräche - auch auf deutsch fließend möglich. Der Ausflug mit Russel zum Wasserloch mit Elefanten- und Nilpferd-Begegnungen war ein echter Geheimtipp! Die Zelte liegen locker verteilt auf dem Gelände und bieten ausreichend Platz und sehr bequeme Betten mit Moskitonetz, sowie ein komplettes Bad (Waschbecken, Dusche, WC) mit Outdoor-Feeling! Alles sehr sauber, obwohl man mitten im Busch ist. Wir würden gerne wiederkommen!
GermanyVerena und Russel sind sehr nette, zugeandte Gastgeber, denen das Wohl ihrer Gäste sehr am Herzen liegt. Super Frühstück: selbst gebackenes Brot, selbst gemachzer Joghurt und super leckeres Abendessen.
GermanySehr tolle Gastgeber, die sich rührend und liebevoll um ihre Gäste kümmern. Das abendliche Dinner und die gemeinsame Unterhaltung danach waren einfach Spitze. Die Unterkünfte sind für 1-3 Nächte zweckmäßig ausgestattet. Vielen Dank an die Gastgeber für die zwei schönen Tage.
GermanySehr schöne Zeltlodge, die Zelte sind sehr geräumig, haben eine kleine Terrasse und liegen locker verteilt auf dem baumbestandenen, vogelreichen Gelände. Köstliches gemeinsames Abendessen unter Sternenhimmel, das leckere Frühstück wird im Picknickkorb am Zelt serviert. Maun und der Moremi National Park sind gut erreichbar. Sehr nette Wirtsleute!

A true bush experience close to the convenience of Maun and the breathtaking beauty of the Okavango Delta. After a 25-minute drive from Maun, the legendary safari city of Botswana, you will arrive at Tshima Bush Camp, set in 30 hectares of natural bush all around, with direct access to the Nhabe River. Our Meru-style tents are luxurious and have a private bathroom with toilet and hot shower. A private area around each tent allows you to enjoy nature and relax. The tents are positioned away from each other for total privacy. The morning choir of Frankoline and guinea fowl is your natural wake-up call! Tshima Bush Camp is completely self-sustaining and ecologically responsible. We use only solar energy and we recover and clean our own water. In addition, our waste management and sewage systems contribute to our green profile. Solar geysers are used for hot water supply and also contribute to reducing our environmental impact.
In search of a new challenge and a place to stay, we (Verena from Belgium and Russell from Namibia) found our common home in Maun. At the age of 38, I decided to leave Belgium and explore Africa in my own way. On 6th of July 2017 I landed in Johannesburg and went on the search for a suitable vehicle for my break from life. My dream of owning a lodge became stronger and stronger as I travelled. At the first try in Namibia I got to know and love Russell. His experience in lodge design brought us together. We went to assess what has to be redone at the lodge that I was interested in. (way to much). The project was shelved and we started off as a couple! One year has passed since my start and we have found our dream, Tshima Bush Camp. 12 days before my 40th birthday, we welcomed our first guests. We look forward to our future and hope that our future guests will feel at home here, as we did when we chose this piece of paradise in the middle of bush with a fantastic wildlife.
Tshima Bush Camp is located on Maun Ghanzi Road and is easily accessible without the need of a 4x4 vehicle. Maun is just a short 25-minute drive from the camp. A pick-up service to and from the international airport is also available. In Maun you will find restaurants, banks with ATMs, post offices, internet cafés and supermarkets. It is an ideal place to make various arrangements for your trip to Botswana. The camp is an ideal base for exploring nearby natural resources such as the world famous Okavango Delta, Moremi Game Reserve, Makgadikgadi Pans and Nxai Pan National Park. Tshima Bush Camp is an excellent stopover on the way from Namibia to the Delta. Also for the end of a Botswana trip and the way back to Namibia, the camp is ideal.
