Is the Nogatsaa Pans Lodge for Me?

Nogatsaa Pans Lodge, located in the heart of Chobe National Park, offers an authentic Botswana safari experience reminiscent of yesteryear. The lodge is strategically placed for sweeping views of the Kwikamba Pan, the largest of many clay bottom pans dotting the area, ensuring unparalleled game viewing opportunities right on the doorstep.

With 12 classically elegant tents on raised platforms, each featuring en-suite bathrooms, adventurous outdoor showers, and lavish eco-friendly amenities, Nogatsaa Pans provides an exquisite sense of luxury in a remote and untouched setting.

The lodge’s thatched main area boasts an open dining area, bar, and various seating areas, while the raised viewing deck showcases the breathtaking Botswana night sky, perfect for stargazing. Game drives take place on a network of roads that includes the Ngwezumba River bed and meanders through teak forests, a section of land rich with bird life.

Upon arrival, you will be welcomed by the warm Nogatsaa Pans team and treated to high tea in the open-plan dining area. Days are spent on morning and afternoon game drives, mid-morning visits to the Poha or Mapororo Hides, or simply savoring an ‘armchair’ safari experience from the comfort of the lodge. Delicious meals, refreshing swims in the pool overlooking the waterhole, and optional spa treatments ensure a truly unforgettable and relaxing stay at Nogatsaa Pans Lodge.
