Due to open in May 2024

Tawana is named in honour of Chief Tawana Moremi, the paramount chief of the Batawana tribe, whose forebears have been instrumental in conserving the wilderness of northern Botswana. Tawana has a beautiful riverside location on the perennial Gomoti River and offers one of the very few options to explore the Moremi Game Reserve without the crowds.

Tawana has 8 spacious suites, including three family rooms. The suites stretch to approximately 100-square-metres in size (130-square metres for family units) and consist of three units (bedroom, bathroom, lounge), each with its own thatched roof and connected by a large deck, with the plunge pool and shaded sala on one end.

The main area in camp is atmospheric with an elegant lounge, indoor and outdoor dining spaces, as well as a curated library filled with reference works on the history of the Moremi Game Reserve and the local Batawana tribe. A walk-in wine cellar, wood-fire pizza oven and an open-air dining kgotla, all add to the Tawana culinary experience. For down-time between game activities, Tawana includes an intimate spa facility offering a bespoke menu of facial and body treatments, and holistic wellness journeys. A well-equipped gym and 16-metre lap pool will help guests stay in shape whilst travelling.

Tawana is located within the Moremi Game Reserve and looks out on a lagoon that is formed by the perennial Gomoti River. The Moremi was proclaimed a reserve in 1963 by the widow of Chief Moremi III and expanded in several stages thereafter. Today it covers around 30% of the entire Okavango Delta and adheres to a very strict protection policy. It boasts one of the highest concentration of wildlife in Botswana.

Tawana is accessed by helicopter. Flight time from Maun is approximately 30 minutes.

Lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog and hyena may be encountered. There are also plenty of buffalo, elephant, zebra and generally a lot of giraffe. As in the whole Okavanga Delta region, the variety of bird life is incredible.

Game drives in open 4x4 vehicles (no night drives as the camp is located in the Moremi Game Reserve), wellness, gym, lap pool. Helicopter scenic flights can be booked at extra costs.
