Your Stay

The Deluxe Tented Rooms combine the traditional safari style with chic contemporary luxury, swathed with elegance and light. The centrepiece in each is the enormous comfortable bed, which have been individually and uniquely designed, with handmade copper-finish headboards; a nod to Botswana's mining tradition. Rooms include fully-stocked mini bars, walk-in wardrobes, walled outdoor showers with views of the delta, large indoor bathtubs, and even their own private plunge pools. You also have your own intimate decking area, where you can sip champagne and watch the sunset.

What to Do

Endless enchanting activities await you in Botswana, where you can kiss goodbye to the hustle and bustle of city living, and let your senses guide you into becoming at one with nature. There are a wealth of safari options, but one of the most exciting and impressive has got to be the Helicopter Safari over Botswana, viewing the animals in their natural habitat – one of life's big adventures. No other lodge in Africa offers such a water-focucesed safari experience with activities including motorboat safaris, barge cruises, mekoro safaris (a local canoe), as well as walking safaris. Or choose to slow down and relax in the rim-flow plunge pool in your room overlooking the marvelous vistas of the Okavango Delta.

The Food of Love

Boasting the prestigious title of 'The Most Romantic Bar in Africa', courtesy of The New York Times, the Fish Eagle Bar is the perfect place to wind down at the end of the day, basking in the bliss of the safari wilderness. For dining, be it in the open-air or within our covered dining areas, our lodges offer a dining experience to remember. In the heart of the Botswana safari experience, surrounded by wildlife, enjoy delicious cuisine created by skilled chefs. Days end around the campfire, where you can share stories with travellers, or just cuddle up with your loved one. For the ultimate romantic experience, enjoy a private dining experience on the privacy of the deck of your room.
