Experience the Best Of Both Worlds At Boteti Tented Safari Lodge

Boteti Tented Safari Lodge is situated on the banks of the spectacularly beautiful Boteti River in Botswana, only 13kms from Maun Airport. This is a great place to experience the magic of the stillness, peace, sounds and scents of the African bush while still enjoying the comforts of luxury living.

At night the sounds of the bush are like a lullaby and scents of the savannah are wonderfully relaxing.

Luxury Tented Accommodation

These are no ordinary tents as they are stylishly and comfortably furnished with a queen size bed, crisp linen and chairs and cupboards. There is also an ensuite bathroom with a shower, tea and coffee facilities and a patio with a view of the river.

WiFi is available at the main lodge in the lounge and bar area.

Every morning the aroma of good coffee and freshly baked treats draw you to the main Lodge for a delicious and colourful, freshly prepared breakfast.

Begin your African Adventure at Boteti Tented Safari Lodge

Your adventure starts at Maun Airport where you are met by your ranger and guide and driven to Boteti Tented Safari Lodge.

After a refreshing drink and perhaps a swim in the pool you will be taken on a two-hour Mokoro Sunset Safari.

The slim design of the Mokoro (a dugout canoe) allows it to part the lily pads and reeds as it silently glides through the crystal-clear water.

The following day you may choose a full day Mokoro safari with a picnic lunch on one of the many islands and a nature walk to discover more of this abundant ecosystem.

As the Boteti River flows all year round, a good concentration of game is attracted to its banks.

Alternatively, you may opt for a full day safari in an open vehicle to Moremi Game Reserve. Enjoy a stylish packed lunch at one of the beautiful rest camps along the way.

Look out for lion, leopard, cheetah, buffalo, giraffe, and many other species of game and over 500 species of birds.

End the day, in the cool of the evening, with a drink on the deck overlooking the river and watching the African sunset.

A traditional dinner is served in the boma around the open fire and is often followed with traditional dance shows or story tellers of Botswana folklore.

Open Air Bush Spa

A great way to end your African adventure is with a little personal pampering with a spa treatment in the open air.

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation? Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose.

Expensive is not always better. Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday. They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice. A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday.

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance. Of these, service is the most important.

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion. However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review. We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience? The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table.

Well that’s our theory anyway. It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced. However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience. In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe. It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
