Meno A Kwena Safari lodge, Boteti River, near Makgadikgadi Salt pans in Botswana

Meno a Kwena

Start Planning

Above the wonderfully wiggly Boteti river lies Meno a Kwena. This authentically simple and charming tented camp promises a front row seat to the thronging wildlife herds that are drawn to the river below. Perched on the edge of a clifftop overlooking the river, the lodge provides a literal armchair safari. From here you can sip G&Ts and forget the world exists for a brief moment.

The Meno a Kwena Experience

Meno a Kwena is the ideal base from which to experience the annual Zebra migration. During the rainy green season, the zebra herds are found in the Makgadikgadi and Nxai pans. In the drier months, which is most of the year, they hang out along the Boteti River. This makes Meno the ideal vantage point as it perches on the edge of a cliff, looking down on the river.

Stuff we love

Teeth of the crocodile

  • Turning new faces into new friends as you dine safari-style around one enormous table.
  • Walking with Bushman guides to learn more about this ancient culture.
  • Watching zebras and elephants drinking, from the safety and comfort of the floating hide.
