MENO A KWENA

Boteti River

Front seat to a river of life for the surrounding wildlife

Perched on a rocky clifftop above the Boteti River in Botswana, 'Meno' has a long list of activities, including day trips to the Makgadikgadi Pans, guided walks with the San bushmen, and wildlife-watching boat trips.

Ten classic tents are perched on a 100-foot high clifftop overlooking the river and offering some of the best ‘armchair’ game viewing in Botswana. Each is classically-styled, with locally-woven fabrics mixed with colonial-style furniture, and simple fittings brightened by snippets of colour. All have fully-equipped ensuite bathrooms, and there are two family units, both with inter-leading tents (one with three beds for children, one with 2 beds), perfect for the kids.

The canvas lounge and dining tents are piled high with books and trinkets, and decorated with old-world artefacts. Meno a Kwena literally translates as “teeth of the crocodile.” Keep an eye on the river below from just about any comfy chair in the living area, or plunge into the Flintstone-esque rocky swimming pool, and watch the animals doing the same below you.

FACILITIES & ACTIVITIES

We like 'Meno' for it's varied offering and the option of staying in camp for the day or going out for the day onto the pans - with the option of a pans sleep-out!
