Swimming pool at sunset among the palms at Nata Lodge, Botswana

Nata Lodge

Our thoughts

Nata Lodge has beautiful campsites tucked between the trees, with lots of shade and a few private sites too. The ablutions were good, with hot and cold water, and there's electricity and water at the sites. The lodge has a pool with loungers, and the food at the restaurant was delicious. With so much accommodation it can get very busy, but it's a lovely place to end a day on the road.

Overview

Tucked among tall Mokolwane palms on the edge of the Makgadikgadi Pans, Nata Lodge feels like a real oasis. It's about 10 km south of Nata village, close to the entrance of the Nata Bird Sanctuary, and self-drivers have been stopping here for over 30 years. The campsite has shady pitches with power, 24-hour security and lovely semi-open showers with hot water. Campers are welcome to use the lodge's pool, restaurant and bar, which makes it a great place to put your feet up after a long day on the road.
