An ideal place to stay to break the long journey for those exploring the Northern territories of Botswana or returning home and for those wanting to be safely off the roads before dark.

Make use of their lovely sparkling swimming pool to refresh you after a long journey which is FOR RESIDENTS USE ONLY.

Relax in the luxurious Woodlands Cottage or one of the eight Riverview rooms. All units are fully equipped for self-catering.

Up grade from your own camping facility to an “Exclusive Camping Cabin” and sleep soundly in a cozy tiled cabin with African cane furniture and two 3/4 size beds. Each bed has a mattress ONLY with NO other linen. There is electricity in each cabin, however, you would make use of the ‘shared ablution’ facility with other campers. Each Exclusive Camping Cabin site also hosts its own braai stand and fire pit with a water point close at hand. The sites are private, exclusive and a little away from the main camping sites.

Parking is adjacent to each of these rooms.

Or perhaps you’d just like to camp on one of the ‘grassed’ individual campsites each with their own braai, water and electrical points. 

Enjoy hot showers in the spacious tiled ablution block

Also available for your convenience are pre-prepared/frozen meals, braai packs, wood, ice, refreshments as well as other basic food commodities. Breakfast packs for the early traveller are available.

A large variety of Botswana bird species can be viewed. Experience the call, in the summer months, of the migrant Woodland Kingfisher who nest here annually and after which the Lodge is named.

Animals which are frequently sighted or heard are Kudu, Impala, Bushbuck, Duiker, Steenbok, Jackal and Monkeys.

Lovely walks along the river bed/bank and within easy walking distance are the Selolwe Ruins ….. a National Monument site.
