Why does Meno a Kwena feel like your home by the river?

Perched high on a rocky bank along the Boteti River, Meno a Kwena is a small-scale, characterful safari lodge overlooking the Makgadikgadi National Park. Here, you listen to splashing elephants from your veranda, watch zebras drinking across the river, and immerse yourself in the rhythm of the bush.

Tent comfort with endless views

The ten stylish safari tents are set on raised platforms, overlooking the river and the park. Each tent features an ensuite bathroom, a warm outdoor shower, and a veranda with loungers, an ideal spot to spot wildlife with a cup of coffee or a sundowner in hand.

Location on the edge of the wilderness

Meno a Kwena is situated in a unique location: on the edge of the Makgadikgadi National Park, right by the Boteti River. Animals come to you, especially during the dry season when the water is life-saving for zebras, wildebeests, elephants, and predators.

Unpolished, warm, and authentic

The camp is not a place of shiny luxury but rather one of warmth, personality, and attention to detail. The lounge and dining area are open, overlooking the river. A campfire burns every evening, the stars shine brighter than anywhere else, and the staff feels like family.
