Meno A Kwena Tented Camp

(Makgadikgadi and Central Kalahari - Botswana)

General Description
Meno A Kwena Tented Camp is situated on the high cliffs overlooking the dry Boteti river, on the very edge of the western boundary of Makgadikgadi Pans National Park. Southern Africa’s largest remaining zebra and wildebeest herds, dependant on regular drinking water, migrate within the Makgadikgadi and Nxai Pans ecosystem, and the camp is situated in the midst of this traditional migration route with plentiful wildlife.

During the dry season (May to November) the pools around the riverbed provide the only source of water for much of the zebra and wildebeest migration. Resident and migratory wildlife around Meno A Kwena also includes elephants, lions, monkeys, giraffe, wild dogs and a huge number of different bird species, all of whom are drawn to the waterhole 100 feet below the camp. Birding is excellent year round but bird varieties increase and breeding starts during the summer months (September to May).

Activities include game drives, walking safaris, trips to Nxai Pan, Baines Baobabs and the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, quad biking and kite sailing in Gweta village, drives and picnics in Makgadikgadi National Park.

Accommodation
Accommodation is in eight mini meru walk-in tents with two single safari beds. Each tent has a bucket shower and flushable toilet; which are private but not ensuite (just a few steps away from your tent). It is an experience in itself standing under an open Kalahari sky filled with stars or alive with the traffic of riverine birds. Meals are prepared specially for the barbeque and 'tin box oven' cooked on the campfire, adding to the authentic safari experience. The camp has a small plunge pool for relaxing.

Dining
Meals are cooked around a campfire barbecue.
