MOGOTHLO SAFARI LODGE

Mogothlo Safari Lodge

Perched gracefully beneath ancient camelthorn and leadwood trees along the banks of the Khwai River, Mogotlho Safari Lodge offers a serene and authentic safari experience that captures the untamed beauty of northern Botswana. With views stretching across the river to the Moremi Game Reserve, the lodge perfectly balances comfort and wilderness, creating a soulful retreat where nature takes center stage and every moment feels deeply connected to the land.

Accommodations

Mogotlho Safari Lodge combines the charm of classic safari living with the warmth and comfort of a modern bush camp. Designed to blend seamlessly with its natural surroundings, each tented suite offers privacy, tranquility, and a front-row seat to the rhythms of the Delta:

• Spacious canvas tents raised on wooden decks, overlooking the Khwai River and surrounding floodplains

• En-suite bathrooms with flush toilets, running water, and indoor showers crafted from natural materials

• Comfortable king or twin beds dressed in crisp linens and soft textiles inspired by the tones of the savannah

• Private decks ideal for morning coffee, reading between activities, or quietly watching elephants and hippos along the riverbank

The main area, constructed from wood and thatch, features an open lounge, dining space, and a raised viewing deck shaded by massive trees. A swimming pool provides a cool escape on warm afternoons, while evenings invite guests to gather around the firepit, where the night air hums with stories, laughter, and the distant calls of nocturnal wildlife.
