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.

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!
