Integral to the rich history of Botswana, the lodge was established in the 1900s when intrepid explorers and crocodile hunters first flocked to the delta. Since then, we’ve refined safari living to an art. Our lodges are the most environmentally friendly in the country, and our private drives deliver unprecedented levels of luxury.
