Each room has a lovely view across the tree-lined garden towards the banks of the Thamalakane River, a cool and welcoming oasis in the heart of Maun. Shaded under a huge canopy of large trees, the lodge overlooks the river and floodplain.
After lunch, you will be picked up for a scenic helicopter/plane flight over the Okavango Delta.

You will be picked up after breakfast for a mokoro day trip into the Okavango Delta.

The pace is slow, allowing you to take in the breathtaking scenery and sounds of the delta and immerse yourself in the unique and peaceful environment.
Later, enjoy a picnic lunch and continue to investigate the delta in the canoe over the famous delta.
