Meno a Kwena
Meno a Kwena is an understated rustic lodge perched on a clifftop overlooking the Boteti River and offering a diverse range of activities. The Lodge exudes old world, classic safari style. Each of the 10 tents has an enviable view of the Boteti River allowing guests to watch Southern Africa’s largest zebra and wildebeest migration concentrates at the river during the dry season. Meals are cooked over the camp fire and down time spent in the pool or loungers.
Guests can immerse themselves in the silence and solitude of the Makgadigadi salt pans and gaze at the starts during an out-of-camp sleep out (dry season only).
Watch the bustle of river-seeking wildlife from land or water, or even from from the comfort of your private veranda (that's what we like to call an 'armchair safari') and experience phenomenal wildlife sightings within the Park. The iconic local bushmen tribe bestow their knowledge of flora and fauna in a fascinating cultural exchange during walks from camp.
With easy access from Maun, a natural swimming pool, and plenty of nooks and crannies to explore, this is a perfect camp for families travelling with children.
Our Conservation Commitment
At Natural Selection, conservation is at the heart of everything we do. The loss of any natural habitat, in Africa or other, is a sobering loss for us all, and we want to do something about it. We want to make a difference. To start with, we ensure that 1.5% of your stay in our lodges goes to wildlife conservation. The donations are built into our business model and based on your stay with us. We are wholeheartedly embracing our commitment to Africa's wildlife.
In addition to this, we partner with the local communities, governments and conservation organisations in the areas where we operate to help protect (and sometimes even expand) these important conservation areas, and to create long-term benefits. We build camps that best suit the area, working with the environments and habitats that we find there. Camps and lodges shouldn’t be obvious; they should blend perfectly into their surroundings.
Lastly, we intend to keep our guests abreast of Africa’s triumphs, losses and continued challenges, with the hope that we will inspire other wildlife-lovers to make a change. While it’s perhaps only a drop in the bucket of what is required, it’s a drop that we hope will make a difference.
Conservation before profit
We make sure that 1.5% of your booking with Natural Selection goes to conservation. Contact us via the 'enquire' button to see the projects that your booking will support.
Creating conservation partnerships
Natural Selection looks for partnerships that help us contribute towards conservation. This may be towards the expansion of wildlife areas, or a conversion to wildlife-friendly land use, or the upliftment of communities who live alongside wildlife and are committed to wildlife conservation.
Commitment to minimizing our footprint
Our newly built camps use local materials, recycled materials and renewable energy. As much as possible, we want each camp to support local environmentally-friendly enterprise, to blend into the environment and to carefully manage and minimize waste.
