Set beside Botswana’s mesmerising salt pans, Nata Lodge is on the way to everywhere. Botswana’s best overnight stay for over 30 years, the lodge is beloved by campers, glampers and self-drive adventurers for its great food, cold beer and easy access to the best salt pan sunset. Accommodation options include comfortable wooden chalets, cosy ensuite safari-style tents and clean campsites with private ablutions, just 10km from the Nata Bird Sanctuary. Daily three-hour sunset drives to the community-run Nata Sanctuary are offered. Other activities include paddling the Nata River, village exploration, bush breakfast beneath a baobab tree, and a 200-seat conference centre. The lodge is a perfect stopover between Maun, Kasane and Francistown.
