About Lorato
Family-run hospitality rooted in the Chobe wilderness
Creating a best-in-class campsite for global explorers
We envision Lorato Camping as one of the premier bases for discovering the western gateway of Chobe National Park. Our guests are primarily international self-drive adventurers, conservation groups and local families seeking restorative escapes.
Vision takes shape
Lorato Camping founders Baboloki Tlale and family begin transforming their Muchenje plot overlooking the Chobe River into an eco-forward campsite.
First guests welcomed
We open our solar-powered camp grounds to self-drive travellers, safari outfitters and community events.
Digital-first operations
An online property management system streamlines bookings, payments and guest communication.
Guiding principles for memorable, ethical travel
The Lorato experience balances heartfelt service, operational excellence and environmental consciousness. We believe in leaving the Chobe wilderness richer than we found it.
Service with heart
Every stay is personally hosted by the Tlale family and our dedicated team of four full-time staff.
Respect & privacy
We offer discreet, culturally respectful experiences that honour each guest’s preferences.
Community upliftment
Partnerships with local guides, artisans and farmers keep tourism value in the Muchenje area.
