10 km out of Maun on the edge of the Okavango, overlooking the hippo pool is “The old Bridge" Backpackers. A place created with the knowledge and understanding that comes from years of experience in the backpackers trade. Hosts endeavor to provide a comfortable base from which you can enjoy the varied amazing activities that this region has to offer. There is a leafy lawn camp site for travellers with their own tents and a few drive in sites with power points. There is one site for larger groups. The dorm sleeps eight people, is spacious and has dividers for your privacy. There are riverside tents made up as either doubles or twins. En-suite rooms will be completed soon.
Host kitchen opens at 7 in the morning and closes at 9 at night and serves good value meals for all tastes. For those who prefer to self-cater there is a tastefully built fully equipped kitchen. There is a popular and sometimes festive bar set between old weathered lead wood logs. Evenings are dimly lit with good music floating in the air. You will always find a fire on a cold winters night and a cozy TV lounge that may be used on request. Situated between the main building and the campsites you find open air, hot showers and flush toilets built entirely out of natural materials and which are always kept spotless. A friendly staff who hosts consider to be the biggest asset will ensure that you have nothing but fond memories to take home.
