Panda Lodge and Camp, Pandamatenga
Our thoughts
Panda Lodge and Camp was a really pleasant stop on the road between Kasane and Nata. The campsites are lovely, with electricity and water at each site, and the ablutions are beautifully done. There's a pool area, although no loungers, and the restaurant serves good food, so you can take a night off from cooking. A comfortable place to break the long drive south.

Overview
Pandamatenga is a small farming village on the main A33 road in northern Botswana, about 100 km south of Kasane and 200 km north of Nata. That makes Panda Lodge and Camp a handy stop on the long drive between Chobe and the Makgadikgadi.

If you'd rather not sleep in the tent, the lodge also has rondavels.
