Maun: Kazikini Camp has made P8, 600, 000 in profit for the 2010 tourism year, the Manager, Graham Young, has said.

The camp - which is located on the way to the internationally-acclaimed Moremi Game Reserve, 26 kilometres from the Moremi south gate, to be more precise - is owned and managed by Sankoyo Tshwaragano Management Trust (STMT).  The community-owned camp comprises 10 campsites and four twin-bed rondavel chalets. It targets mainly travellers going on day trips into Moremi Game Reserve. The camp also has a bar and restaurant, self-catering facilities and a curio shop. Shandereka cultural village is in the NG 34 concession area.

Speaking in an interview, Young said although 2010 was a hard year for the tourism industry in the region, the camp performed fairly well because it has not recorded a big drop in the number of visitors, compared to 2009.
