Hotels Own Introduction
A Premier Safari Experience in the Heart of the Okavango Delta
Set within Botswana’s legendary Moremi Game Reserve, Tawana is a new premier camp offering an extraordinary gateway to the Okavango Delta and the wider wilderness of northern Botswana. Nestled along the banks of the Gomoti River, Tawana blends effortlessly with the lush forests and open floodplains, offering an elegant safari experience rooted in authenticity and comfort.
Immersed in Nature, Inspired by Culture
Unfenced and open to the surrounding ecosystem, Tawana allows wildlife to roam freely through the camp, creating spontaneous and awe-inspiring moments. In partnership with Chief Tawana Moremi, the camp honors the cultural legacy of the Batawana people while embracing a deep commitment to environmental conservation. This is a place where guests can discover one of Africa’s last truly wild places, with purpose and respect.
Elegant Living in the Wilderness
The camp features eight expansive suites, including three family units, each offering around 100 square metres of space (130 square metres for family suites). Every suite includes a separate lounge, outdoor sala, private terrace, and plunge pool—creating a peaceful sanctuary for guests to relax between excursions. Interiors draw inspiration from the textures and tones of the Delta and local cultural design, combining contemporary comfort with a strong sense of place. Each suite is oriented to ensure privacy and uninterrupted views of the river and surrounding floodplains.
Spaces to Gather and Reflect
The main guest area invites both connection and relaxation, with a refined lounge and bar, indoor and outdoor dining spaces, a walk-in wine bar, and a wood-fired pizza oven. The curated library offers insights into the history of the Moremi Game Reserve and the Batawana tribe. An open-air firepit lounge offers the perfect setting for storytelling under the stars.
Wellness and Leisure in the Wild
Guests can unwind with spa treatments in the privacy of their suite or take advantage of in-room yoga mats and weights. A fully equipped gym is available for those who wish to stay active, while the 16-metre lap pool offers both fitness and leisure, set against the backdrop of the untamed wilderness.
Tawana: A Destination Like No Other
Tawana is more than a safari—it is an immersion into the rhythm of Botswana’s most iconic landscapes, shaped by a deep connection to culture, conservation, and luxury. Whether you’re witnessing elephants from your private terrace or stargazing by the fire, every moment at Tawana is an invitation to explore, reflect, and reconnect.
