Botswana Accommodation & Camping Options

Ghanzi Area / western Botswana

Kalahari Arms Hotel
Situated in the centre of Ghanzi, right on the Trans-Kalahari-Highway and main road to Maun, this older lodge offers accommodation for all types of budgets. If you are just looking for a stopover place, for Bed & B Breakfast rooms or camping sites then this is a convenient place to chose. The lodge surrounded by beautiful gardens features a sun terrace, a shaded lapa with bar, a large swimming pool and a kids' playground.

Tautona Lodge
Tautona is situated approx. 5 km outside the village of Ghanzi, in its own private game reserve. From here, it is 700km to Gaborone, 500km to Windhoek and 280km to Maun. Since the completion of the Trans-Kalahari Highway which links Botswana with Namibia and South Africa, Ghanzi is accessible to all types of vehicles. Tautona, meaning big lion in the local language, Setswana, was built in 2000 and commenced operations in May 2001. The lodge is situated on a 10 000 hectare private game farm and features numerous facilities including two swimming pools.

Optional excursions to a Bushman Project can be arranged though the lodge but require a minimum stay of 2 nights.

Thakadu Bush Camp
The Thakadu Bush camp is situated close to Ghanzi, in game-rich surroundings that count amongst one of the last untouched areas in the world. The people living in this area are widely considered the last genuine Bushmen on earth.
Guests of Thakadu Bush Camp have a choice between basic camping sites or staying in luxurious Meru tents with en-suite facilities. The camp site is shaded by the plentiful Leadwood trees that thrive in the Limestone ridge, which runs through the property.
For nature lovers, Thakadu is a paradise. Wildlife is abundant here and guests can expect to see most of the Big 5 during game drives with knowledgeable guides. Birdwatchers will delight at the spectacular array of birdlife surrounding the camp. Night game drives are also highly recommended as guests will have opportunities to see many of the nocturnal creatures that inhabit this area.

Trail Blazers
Ghanzi Trailblazers is a recreated San/Bushman village with amenities that Western culture is accustomed to. Through activities on offer guests have opportunities to get glimpses of the San/Bushman culture which is fast disappearing while providing the San/Bushman with sustainable employment.
