Overview of Meno a Kwena

Botswana, Makgadikgadi

The eco-friendly and intimate Meno a Kwena is set at the confluence of two contrasting but equally beautiful of Botswana's worlds – the lush Okavango Delta and the rugged Kalahari Desert. This diverse landscape attracts a wider variety of wildlife than you might find in either one of the two ecosystems alone, so you can see savannah animals like cheetah and wild dog as well as desert specialists like meerkat and the regal black-maned Kalahari lion.

Daily safari activities take you into the heart of the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park where masses of zebra arrive to enjoy fresh grazing after the summer rains in December and January. The Kalahari springs to life and if the rains are especially good then the region's vast salt pans fill up and attract myriad bird life including flamingos, waders and wildfowls. Dry season – from about May to August – is equally thrilling as big game are easily found close to water sources. Meno a Kwena is ideally positioned to witness this phenomenon with its prime hilltop position overlooking the Boteti River, the life-giving channel running from the Okavango Delta into the Kalahari.

Family Tent

Ideal for families, the two Family Tents each comprise two adjoining tents overlooking the Boteti River and the wilderness of Makgadikgadi National Park beyond. Each tent features an en-suite bathroom, private outdoor shower and a veranda with a daybed and comfortable seating.

One Family Tent sleeps up to five guests, with a king-size bed and three single beds, while the second accommodates up to four with a king-size bed and two single beds. Fans and thoughtful safari comforts ensure a relaxed stay for the whole family.

General Facilities

Meno a Kwena is a camp run according to the principles of sustainable tourism, and its organic architecture ensures that you have a truly authentic experience in this spellbinding Kalahari setting. The lodge is powered naturally by Botswana's average of 291 days of sunshine a year and water is sourced directly from the Boteti River.

Attention to detail is present in handmade crafts that decorate the camp and colourful accents to reflect Botswana's vibrant culture. An open-air communal area invites you to celebrate beautiful sunsets and opens onto an outdoor dining area. Beyond that, you can enjoy game viewing from the natural rock plunge pool, or find a secluded viewing tent for romantic private dining or taking in the exquisite river view. If you would like to get even closer to wildlife than you would on a game drive or from the lodge, a floating game viewing hide is located not far from camp. Additional facilities include a small library, a cosy bar tent, and a gift store.

I visited Meno a Kwena during Green Season, when the Boteti was full and the zebra migration was moving through the area. There's something wonderfully authentic about this camp – its relaxed, laid-back atmosphere quickly creeps into your heart. Perched high above the river, the views are incredible. I loved sitting on my tent veranda watching elephants cross the water below, while sundowners on the viewing deck, with a storm rolling across the distant landscape, made for one of those unforgettable safari moments.

    This camp's very special attraction are the views! Set on the high river banks, I was very happy to spending several hours sitting and watching the wildlife come down to drink at the river.
