Elephant Sands To Makgadikgadi Pans National Park

After arriving at Gweta Lodge, we have our lunch before we'll embark on our fully equipped and exclusive camp on the Ntwetwe Salt pan where you can settle down around a roaring campfire in time to watch the most spectacular African sunset! Guests are then served a 3-course meal around a candle-lit dining table while enjoying the solitude of the salt pan.
Guests can then head off for bed to snuggle down into their warm and cozy bedrolls whilst watching the night sky pass right above their heads. (Our overnights are a favorite with astronomers and anyone keen to see the Milky Way in all its glory)!
The next morning after breakfast, guests are taken to see our habituated meerkat colony as they emerge from their burrows to enjoy the warm morning sun. We can also include a ride on the salt pans with quad bikes for those who enjoy an adrenaline rush!
