SANTAWANI LODGE
Moremi Game Reserve
|
|
Santawani
is one
of the
longest
standing
camps in
the
Okavango.
Chosen
as a
site
when
sites
were
there to
be
chosen,
by the
legendary
Jon
Panos of
Gametrackers
fame,
Santawani
proudly
continues
the
tradition
of
home-grown
hospitality. |
| Set
in its
own,
community-owned
concession
of NG33,
bordering
the
southern
edge of
Moremi
Game
Reserve,
Santawani
offers
traditional
day and
night
game-drives
in this
private
concession,
known
far and
wide as
being
especially
rewarding
for
game,
and
predators
in
particular.
Lion,
cheetah,
leopard
and
hyaena
abound,
as do a
host of
smaller
but no
less
interesting
predators,
readily
revealed
by
spotlight
when by
their
natural
camouflage
they
have
eluded
us by
day. |
| The
lodge
accommodates
12
guests
in six
simple
twin-bedded,
en-suite
chalets.
The bar
/dining
area
looking
out onto
the
fireside
and
waterhole
belie
the
warmth
generated
by the
staff,
members
of the
local
community
of
Sankuyo
and
native
to the
area.
Santawani
offers
an
intensive
game
experience
with
highly
qualified,
local
guides
and
custom-built
Toyota
Land
Cruiser
game-viewers,
and is
the
perfect
complement
to
Oddballs’,
with its
walking
and
water-based
activities. |
