Meno a Kwena

Location
Makgadikgadi Pans National Park, Botswana

Situated between the Okavango Delta and the Central Kalahari Game Reserve near Makgadikgadi Pans National Park, this solar-powered camp features nine traditional canvas tents overlooking the Boteti River. The camp's name translates to “teeth of the crocodile,” referencing the common presence of these reptiles lazing on nearby riverbanks. Tent sides roll up to take in the broad vista, but your private space remains hidden, tucked among thorn trees that offer seclusion. Each tent has an en suite flush toilet plus indoor and outdoor safari showers. Furnishings are distinctly African, with dark wood, bold textiles and woven carpets. Harnessing the power of Botswana’s typically sunny days, solar power fires the camp’s energy-efficient lights as well as your camera battery charger. This is a low-impact camp that supports recycling and recognizes water as a limited and precious resource.

In addition to game drives over grasslands and salt pans, a stay at Meno a Kwena Camp also offers a chance to engage with local San Bushmen and learn about their ancient culture. Explore the surrounding habitat on foot with a resident guide, then relax in the natural rock plunge pool with views over the river—quite possibly overlooking a herd of frolicking elephants. Share stories in tented outdoor spaces and meals under the boundless night sky.
