NOKANYANA

Set at the junction of the Khwai and Mababe Rivers, Nokanyana Lodge puts you in the heart of Botswana’s game-viewing paradise. Newly rebuilt, this is a Lodge for those who want to see big game and experience the thrill of the wild. From the deck, you might spot elephants, giraffes, or even a rare leopard lounging in a tree. On game drives, there’s a good chance of seeing lions, painted wolves (African wild dogs), and more—this is nature’s stage, and the show never ends.

Unlike East Africa’s crowded safaris or rigid time slots in South Africa, Nokanyana’s private traversing in the Mababe River Private Reserve offers a more intimate and patient experience. You can linger at sightings, observing the real behavior of animals without jockeying for position. With access to Chobe, Khwai, Savuti, and Moremi, the lodge is also perfectly placed for day trips into some of Botswana’s most iconic reserves.

While game drives are the highlight, Nokanyana also offers mokoro trips and nature walks upon request, or you can arrange to join a walking safari at Adventure Camp Chora for a change of pace. For families, couples, or anyone looking to immerse themselves in the wild with modern comforts, Nokanyana Lodge delivers an authentic yet fun-filled Delta experience.
