Nogatsaa Pans Chobe Lodge is in the heart of Chobe National Park with some of the best game viewing right on the doorstep. The area remains remote and untouched ensuring an authentic Botswana experience in an area dotted with hides overlooking open grasslands, clay bottom pans and waterholes. Strategically placed for sweeping views of the Kwikamba Pan – the biggest of many clay bottom pans dotting the area – Nogatsaa Pans Chobe lodge offers guests a true in-the bush safari experience reminiscent of yesteryear.

The thatched main area boasts open dining area, bar and various seating areas. The raised viewing deck showcases Botswana night sky with great stargazing opportunity.

12 Classically elegant tents on raised platforms with sweeping views of Kwikamba Pan, en-suite bathrooms, adventurous outdoor showers, lavish eco-friendly guest amenities and white percale cotton linen ensure an exquisite sense of luxury.

Game drives take place on a network of roads that includes the Ngwezumba river bed and meander through teak forests, a section of land that is rich with bird life.

Nogatsaa Pans has Eco Tourism certification for their low impact on the environment and the latest solar & waste disposal systems in place.
