Katavi Wildlife Lodge

Katavi Wildlife Lodge

Katavi

Nestled on the outskirts of the Katisunga plain, Katavi Wildlife Camp seamlessly blends into the fringes of the surrounding woodland, offering one of the most spectacular vistas in the park. Animals, both predators and their prey, must parade past the camp on their daily commute to drink in the nearby Katuma River - making this the perfect observation point for some of the most dramatic wildlife encounters.

Accommodation is made up of six spacious Meru-style mosquito-proof tents, which all offer direct and picturesque views of the plain, and each tent is constructed on an elevated wooden platform, providing shade from the noonday sun, and with a classic thatched roof. All tents are equipped with private en-suite facilities, and boast an expansive veranda complete with a comfortable hammock and seating area. There are 2 additional family tents plus a honeymoon tent.

Game drives don't need to go far, as the wildlife is in such great abundance close to the camp and whether from the veranda of your tent, on a game drive or from the elevated viewing lounge, you'll have the privilege of witnessing predators alongside the plains game during daylight hours. And in the evenings, brace yourself for the spectacle of predators in pursuit as the game retreats to the safety of the trees.

Meals are served in a comfortable and welcoming main lodge which also has a cosy bar and viewing deck.

To see how to combine this lodge on a safari circuit, visit our Safaris page and the Southern Circuit National Park pages.

A sunken bar built around an old termite mound is just the place to share tales of your adventures.

Camp Moremi

Moremi Game Reserve

Set in a classic African savanna environment with sweeping views, the focal point of the lodge is a thatched open-sided main building which commands breath taking panoramas over the Chobe River and beyond the Chobe National Park. With just 12 en-suite guest rooms, you are sure of a very special stay here. 

Located on the Namibian side of the Chobe River, overlooking the renowned Puku Flatts, the lodge offers a remote Chobe River experience. You can enjoy the exceptional wildlife that frequents the riverbanks on morning and afternoon boat cruises. Ideal for wildlife photographers and birders, fishing and visits to the local community are also on offer. 

Each thatched chalet has air conditioning, a fan, a safe, tea and coffee-making facilities and a deck, activities include bird watching, boating, fishing, game drives and walks as well as cultural visits to local communities.  There are attractive gardens to explore and a swimming pool for a refreshing dip between activities.

Chobe Savannah Lodge

Caprivi Strip opposite Chobe

This is the only permanent game lodge on the banks of the Chobe River in the famous Chobe National Park. It’s a great base for exploring the park, although this is a larger lodge you have plenty of space to relax and enjoy your surroundings. The deck is a good place to relax and watch the procession of wildlife as it passes by, it’s like a safari without leaving your lodge. 
The rooms are all air-conditioned and also have ceiling fans, a minibar, an en-suite bathroom and a terrace. There is a swimming pool, gym and spa treatments can be organised with the in-house beautician. 

Activities include morning and afternoon game drives, bird watching and boat trips. Unlike any other water-based activity in Botswana, the game viewing while on a river safari in Chobe is unsurpassed. Elephants line the water’s edge, hippos congregate in lagoons, hundreds of antelope and giraffes make their way to the water and sightings of predators along the riverbanks are common. The riverboats are designed to ensure everyone can take in the magnificent views in complete comfort from anywhere on the boat. Owing to the flexibility in seating arrangements and the flat deck, the boats are ideal for keen wildlife photographers, with ample space for equipment and the freedom to photograph from any angle.

How our Tent Ratings work

These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.​

It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world. 

To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.
