Great special at Thornybush Game Lodge, Thornybush Nature Reserve, Greater Kruger. Meno a Kwena Tented Safari Camp on a rocky clifftop above the Boteti River in Botswana. 9meno-a-kwena-watching-the-river-kids-1 1/14 Location Meno sits in an awesome location on the Boteti River overlooking the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park – a completely contrasting location, wildlife and habitat to the green and juicy Okavango Delta regions. DESCRIPTION: The safari never stops at Meno a Kwena, a hidden gem of a camp perched on a rocky clifftop above the Boteti River in Botswana. With a glittering roster of activities, including day trips to the Makgadikgadi Pans, guided walks with the San bushmen, and wildlife-watching boat trips, there’s plenty to get your teeth into. But sometimes, the best game viewing is where you least expect it, and at Meno, it’s right in front you. From their lofty position, the ten tents look down on a menagerie of animals at the water below, from herds of majestic elephant, to dazzles of nomadic zebra – all you need to do is sit back, and take it all in. At just 90 minutes by road from Maun, Meno is a good option if you’re travelling as a group, or with little ones (or even big ones!). The camp was originally used by Southern Africa’s legendary explorers, and although we’ve added a few little touches here, and some little quirks there, it’s refreshingly and stylishly simple. And actually, the real treat at Meno is the connection with nature; when an elephant provides your alarm call in the morning, and you can game view straight from your private veranda, nothing else really matters. PRICE INCLUDES: Accommodation All meals Daily activities Expert Guiding Park Entry Fees Excludes Community and Conservation Fees of R275 per person per night HIGHLIGHTS Watch the wildlife at the river below from the comfort of your private veranda; that’s what we like to call an ‘armchair safari.’ OUR TIPS: We recommend booking Meno a Kwena as part of a complete Natural Selection safari Special SADC 60 Day Out Rate R4,285 per person sharing per night.
