Audi Camp is one of Maun's most established budget operations, offering a base for travellers planning their own Okavango excursions. The camp has long served as a departure point for guided mokoro trips and bush walks into the delta, run by BaTawana community polers who grew up navigating the waterways.
The value of going through a camp like Audi rather than booking through a large lodge is the direct connection with local guides and a lower overall cost. Multiday mokoro packages into the delta, with overnight camping on islands, are the core product. The camp also organises day trips to the Okavango for those with limited time.
Sitting on the banks of the Thamalakane, the camp has a social atmosphere that suits travellers comparing safari notes. It is unpretentious — tents, cold showers, communal areas — but perfectly functional as a base for what is, after all, essentially a wilderness trip.
