What to Expect
Tawana is situated in the south-eastern sector of the Moremi Game Reserve, on the perennial Gomoti River. Immediately to its west lies the Chitabe and Sandibe concession (NG31), with Chitabe Camp located just 8 miles away. This is a camp that offers an unrivalled discovery of the Okavango Delta and the wider wilderness ecosystem of northern Botswana.
Having made its grand entrance in May 2024, Natural Selection’s latest gem is set amongst a gathering of ebony and sausage trees in the south-east Moremi Game Reserve of the Okavango Delta. The camp was created alongside the paramount chief of the Batwana tribe (after whom it’s named), whose forebears were instrumental in the conservation of the wild areas that would one day become Moremi. The design of Tawana is striking, from its arched entrance inspired by fishing nets to the chic, palatial suites that occupy three thatched areas. Add to that the impressive numbers of lion on the plains surrounding the camp, and you’ve got an all-round excellent safari.
Highlights
Reached via winding raised walkways, there are 8 suites including 2 family rooms that reach a whopping 130 square metres in size. Their style draws inspiration from the organic tones of the landscape and traditional Batawana patterns. They each boast a separate lounge, king-sized bed (cooled by an aircon and ceiling fan) and spacious bathroom with a large tub, shower and ‘exercise basket’. Enjoy uninterrupted views of the Gomoti River from the private terrace, outdoor sala or plunge pool.
The area surrounding Tawana has some of the highest wildlife numbers in Moremi Game Reserve, which you’ll experience on epic game drives. You can expect to see an abundance of predators including lion, leopard and wild dog. Many of their guides have grown up in the region and know it like the back of their hand. When you’re not on safari, enjoy a dip in the 16-metre lap pool as elephant and giraffe come to visit. Scenic helicopter flights are also available at an additional cost.
