Experience the magic of the Okavango Delta
Situated on the banks of the Boteti River, a tributary originating in the core of the Okavango Delta, lies the Boteti Tented Safari Lodge. This important river maintains its flow throughout the dry season when most other river systems are dry.

Unlimited access to the the Boteti River either by simply enjoying a refreshing drink and viewing the hippo, crocodiles or abundant birdlife or by a guided Mokoro (Traditional dug out canoe) or Motorboat cruise down the river. Although spread over a massive area the lodge is smalll and intimate allowing for a personalized experience for all guests and enhanced by skilled staff to attend to your every need.
