On Safari at Abu Camp, Botswana

Abu was the most unique camp of the 3 we visited on our safari trip. We rode elephants for game viewing, mokoro canoes to see the delta waterways, and bass boats on a fishing trip. The tents, while small, were comfortable. The patio deck was smaller than Vumbura or Mombo camps, but more inviting. Power was not in-tent for recharging, which proved a hassle. There was substantially less wildlife, but the real point of the trip was elephant-back riding, and it was fantastic. The mokoro canoe rides and "bass" fishing provided some welcome variety.
