Location: Situated in a game rich private concession on the border of Moremi Game Reserve. Our photographic concession area share almost the entire southern land boundary of the Moremi, an integral part of your Botswana safari.

Getting there: Guests can transfer by road (2 1/2 hrs) or air (15min) from Maun which quickly brings you into game territory and some wonderful animal sightings.

The ecosystem: The south western corner of the concession enjoys seasonal flooding when the Gomoti River receives its flood from the upper reaches of the Okavango Delta. These waters transform the otherwise dry savannah woodlands into vast areas of inundated floodplains. These wet land and savannah areas provide ideal habitat for an incredible variety of animal and bird species.

Activities: Santawani is big-game territory with regular sightings of elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard, giraffe, zebra and other plains game. The area is also home to the endangered African wild dog, and other seldom seen species like cheetah. Birding enthusiast can expect to see many species permanently found in the area, together with migrants and aquatic species which follow the flood waters. Activities include game drives, night drives, optional full day mokoro (dugout canoe) or power boat excursions into the Okavango Delta.

Accommodation: Six newly completed brick and thatch en-suite chalets. Each spacious and well appointed chalet has two three quarter beds, en-suite shower and toilet, electric lighting and facilities for recharging video batteries.
