Camping under stars

Camping under stars

A walk with San people and meerkat viewing in Ntwetwe Pan offers a unique cultural and wildlife experience:

In the morning, our guide will drive you from your lodge to Ntwetwe pan. Join skilled San trackers for a guided walk through the stark beauty of Ntwetwe Pan. Learn traditional bush skills, medicinal plant uses, and ancient hunting techniques. The San share stories of their ancestral connection to this harsh yet captivating landscape.

Meerkat Viewing: At dawn, observe a habituated meerkat colony emerge from their burrows. Watch as sentries take position and the group forages, offering intimate views of their social behavior. The flat expanse of the pan provides an unobstructed backdrop for photography. Camping under the stars at night-fall.

Our Meru tents measure 4 x 4 m. You will sleep on normal beds, and each tent has a private veranda and bathroom. The bathroom has a toilet, shower, and sink. Our staff will take care of all the camp chores.

Maun helicopter flight

Maun helicopter flight

Taking off from Maun's small airport, you soar over an intricate network of waterways, islands, and floodplains. The delta spreads out below like a giant green fan, crisscrossed by shimmering blue channels.

From above, you can spot large herds of elephants, buffalo, and antelope moving across the landscape. Hippo pods appear as dark dots in the water. The flight reveals the delta's true vastness and complex ecosystem.

Depending on the season, you'll see a patchwork of flood waters, grasslands, and palm-fringed islands. The low-flying small aircraft allows for excellent visibility and photo opportunities of this unique wetland wonder.
