Set beside Botswana’s mesmerising salt pans, Nata Lodge has been a favourite overnight stay for over 30 years among campers, glampers and self-drive adventurers, just 10km from the Nata Bird Sanctuary. Accommodation ranges from wooden chalets to safari-style tents and campsites with private ablutions, and the lodge offers daily sunset drives to the community-run Nata Sanctuary, Nata River paddling, village exploration, bush breakfasts and a 200-seat conference centre — a perfect stopover between Maun, Kasane and Francistown.
