Arrival in Maun

Day 1Arrival in Maun Arrival in Maun Touch down in Maun, gateway to the wild, where your safari begins. A scenic 1.5–2-hour road transfer carries you to Meno a Kwena Tented Camp, perched dramatically on cliffs above the Boteti River and ancient Makgadikgadi Pans. This intimate, explorer-style camp from Natural Selection features classic Meru tents with panoramic river views, resident giraffes, elephants below, and genuine family warmth. Settle in, then dive into the wild: join a guided nature walk with San Bushmen trackers to learn ancient tracking and survival skills, or relax with a sundowner from the clifftop deck as the golden savanna glows. Tonight, dine under the parachute canopy or al fresco, then drift to sleep to hippo grunts, distant lion roars, and a star-filled sky. Safe, engaging activities make this the perfect start pure tranquility meets authentic wilderness!
