What to Expect
Enjoy a classic Botswana safari at Mma Dinare Camp. Operated in collaboration with the Sankuyo Community Trust in the Dinare Private Reserve (allowing off-road and nighttime game drives), this traditional safari stay has a positive impact.
Mma Dinare (meaning ‘Mother Buffalo’ in Setswana) is designed to embrace the natural surroundings. Thatched and open, the central area is a great place to relax and watch the wildlife drawn to the Gomoti River. There are nine canvas tents and one family tent, each with an elevated deck, en suite bathrooms and outdoor showers. The main area comprises a bar, swimming pool and safari shop. The dining and lounge area is raised on stilts and decked, with an attractive fire pit area adjoining it.
Highlights
Eight tents tucked into the riverine forest are accessed via wooden boardwalks. Each has a view of the floodplain or river – populated by a cast of elephant, kudu, buffalo, hippo and more. The tents are large, with well-dressed beds draped in netting, an en-suite bathroom with a basin and toilet, and a canvas-walled shower that’s open to the sky. Think and gaze on the veranda, or settle down at the small writing desk to record your thoughts.
There’s more than sufficient territory to see the creatures that make your blood sing, and numerous ways to do so. Day and night game drives get you close to the action (the guides have an unerring nose for the best sightings); guided walks hone your bush skills; and mokoro boat rides get you close to aquatic creatures. Migrant birds flock here in summer; in winter, birds gather at the water sources. Wattled crane sightings herald the arrival of the floodwaters.
