We took a little detour on our trip to Maun. The mountains of the Gods. The locals have respect and this is a sacred place for them. We had a great guide that gave us a good overview of the history. …Full review by NHaacke

Yes Hi I want to visit so I have a few questions 1. Can I fly there from Maun or Moremi to cut down on the driving? 2. If I drive how long will it take from Maun? 3. I'm coming from Zambia. Would it be a better option to drive the Kaprivi strip and then go to Maun, Moremi? (I plan to finish in Johannesburg so which ever way there will be some backtracking I think) 4. Can I camp overnight at the hills and arrange a guide there? There are 4 of us in 1 car and we plan to be there around the 19 October

Hello, we did not drive from Maun. We decided that was too much backtracking. But, we had a four month trip so did have options. We went ahead and went south to Transfrontier, over to Namibia and back through Kaprivi. We overnighted in Shakawe. It was only about an hour from there to the hills. I think you would do less backtracking if you came through Kaprivi and then headed to Maun. (On a side note, the drought is truly awful. We flew over and stayed two nights in the inner Okavango and there was no water. Maun had no river and the villagers were struggling with a lack of water.) We were this at Tsodilo this past July. We did the long tour so were glad we had arrived before 9:00 because it was warm and sunny. We had an excellent guide and I highly recommend the entire Rhino Trail, so long as you are ok with a 100 meter climb up and down. There are 16 sites if you do this one and a great view from the top. I also recommend stopping in the museum. It is well done and signed in English and explains a lot of the history. You can camp, but there are no services such as water and electricity. Hope this helps. If you have any other questions, let me know.
How authentic is it? There were a few sceptical comments. Has the camp site improved? Do you need to book to visit?

We stayed there and enjoyed it for 3 days camping on site in 2013. They had blocked camping on site back then due to the poor conditions visitors were giving to take care of the grounds. We saw evidence of a lot of campsite trash and candles left in the rock by the hills. No wonder the locals made it off limit for on site camping for a time. We had a great time and did all the hikes. It is a must do if you are tired of game drives to have a few day to stretch your legs out. We didn't have any rsvp and carful about fuel, when we were there Shakawe didn't have any fuel for sale.
