Luxury East African–style canvas tents with private verandahs overlooking the Boteti River make for some of the best views in the northwestern Kalahari. The lodge is just across the river from the reserve, but game drives yield excellent wildlife viewing, especially those that range along the riverbank and riverbed, depending on water levels.
Otherwise, expect expansive rooms, wonderful facilities and professional service. Rates include full board, wildlife drives, bushwalks and a range of activities.
Note that you're quite a long way from pans themselves here, but the wildlife in the area can be excellent nonetheless, and sunset, when the animals come down to drink, is the time to nurse a sundowner on the veranda.
