Koro River Camp is perched on the most stunning shady and undisturbed bank of the Limpopo River in a remote enclave of the vast and rugged Tuli concession in Botswana. The layout, facilities, location and legendary attention to personalised service offers an ideal secluded breakaway for families, solo safari- fanatics or group travellers. With only 7 large tented master bedroom suites and maximum occupancy of 18 people, Koro River Camp is an undiscovered gem in Botswana’s safari circuit. Enjoy your private deck and observe African wildlife passing by…

The central living and dining facility in the main tent with views over the Limpopo River is a cool and welcoming introduction. A tented bar and indoor lounge is the service hub, alongside a shady dining deck and sunken sitting area. Meals can be prepared in the open air boma and campfire, also an ideal venue for after dinner tales and drinks. Wifi is available at the lounge and viewing deck. A smaller secluded tented chill-out lounge is an inviting space to read or relax, and an open air spa pavilion on the riverbank offers rejuvenating massages and facials. ‘Kgomotso’s Kitchen’, named after the veteran safari chef is the food factory in camp and produces superb meals; brunches, high teas, and sumptuous 3-course dinners of distinction. A curio store completes the layout.

Seven superbly appointed boutique canvas tented suites are constructed above ground on a wooden deck and consist of a tented bedroom suite. All have a separate bathroom suite with shower and bath, an open air shower and a private plunge pool. The family unit (number 7) can accommodate 6 people, and consists of a master bedroom suite including two additional, separate bedrooms that include a separate open air toilet and shower. All units are located on the river and offer spectacular views of the riverine and surrounding wildlife. 220 volt charging points are located in the tents.

Koro River Camp is, together with Koro Island Camp, the only camp in the Tuli which nestles comfortably into the shady, wild banks of the Limpopo River. There is an untamed, intangible air around the comfortable camp that provides a catalyst for breaking boundaries, personal reflection and relaxing… call it re-souling!

Koro Kids Activities:

Koro's immersive ‘Koro Kids’ programme is designed to awaken the inner ‘Little Ranger’ in every child.

• Children embark on guided mini walking safaris, learning to track animals, spot the ‘Little Five,’ and uncover hidden bush treasures with the help of our expert guides.

• Their on-site research team shares insights into elusive species like leopard, brown hyena, and more, using real-time sightings and fascinating night cam footage.

• Kids can engage in fun hands-on activities such as making animal track casts and participating in nature lessons.

• Each child earns their very own ‘Koro Kid Ranger’ badge and graduation certificate - a proud memento of their wilderness adventure.

Adventures for Older Children: 

Older kids can look forward to more daring experiences:

• Mountain biking excursions into the bush bring the thrill of the wild to life.

• An unforgettable sleep-out on Koro's elevated Starbed - a game-viewing platform overlooking a waterhole - invites young explorers to fall asleep under the stars, learning about the night sky and listening to nocturnal animal calls.

For the Parents: 

While the kids are immersed in adventure, parents can indulge in peaceful moments:

• Enjoy a private, romantic dinner in the boma while the children toast marshmallows by the fire.

• Unwind with a couple’s massage at Koro's open-air pavilion overlooking the Limpopo River.

Off-Site & Custom Outings: 

Should you wish to explore beyond the camp, the team at Koro River Camp will gladly assist in arranging tailored off-site activities to suit your interests and group dynamics.

Just over a 6 hr drive from Joburg via N1 and R521. No 4x4 is needed, however a high clearance vehicle will be required. Guests driving in an ordinary car can leave it parked at the Platjan Lodge and be transferred the rest of the way in the Camp's Game viewer. (This will also be part of your first exciting game drive!). Currently, there is no charge for parking at the Platjan Lodge. This is a small border crossing (with approximately 12 vehicles crossing the border daily, most of these would be going to Koro Camp). For this reason the border staff know the camp well. Guests may choose the secure parking at the police station which is fenced or the parking at the Platjan Lodge.
