Mankwe, meaning “mother leopard,” is a serene sanctuary situated on a private concession east of the Moremi Game Reserve, just 85 kilometers from the vibrant tourism hub of Maun. A hidden oasis on the edge of a wilderness paradise, Hideaways Mankwe Tented Retreat offers a rare and intimate safari experience in the heart of Botswana. A gateway to the Okavango Delta, Khwai region, and Chobe National Park, Mankwe Tented Retreat provides an eco-conscious escape into some of Africa’s most iconic landscapes.

Surrounded by mopane trees and expansive wilderness, Mankwe’s elevated Meru-style tented suites, designed with understated elegance, offer sweeping views of the bush from private decks, blending rustic charm with contemporary comfort. The lodge invites guests to not only engage in exploration—whether through game drives in the concession or safaris into bucket-list reserves—but also to take a step back and truly unwind. Interlinked by elevated wooden walkways, Mankwe offers a variety of tranquil spaces to relax, from the serene poolside to cozy nooks perfect for quiet reflection. Evenings bring the magic of the open-air boma, where stories are shared under a starlit sky, completing each day with moments of connection.
