Nokanyana Camp

Nokanyana — meaning 'little river' — is an intimate, family-friendly luxury tented lodge positioned where the Khwai and Mababe Rivers converge, in the private NG41 concession bordering Moremi Game Reserve and close to Chobe National Park and Savute. Operated by Roots & Journeys (sister camp to Mopiri), the newly rebuilt lodge offers some of the most prolific game viewing in Botswana directly from rooms and communal areas. Ten solar-powered luxury tents (7 standard + 3 family suites) sit on the banks of the Khwai River, all featuring king-size beds, twin sinks, and inside/outside rain showers. The private traversing rights in the Mababe River Private Reserve allow off-road access and unlimited game drive time — a rare luxury in Botswana. Activities include morning and afternoon/night game drives, full-day safaris with picnic lunches, guided nature walks, mokoro trips (on request), and traditional boma evenings. Key species include elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard, wild dog, hyena, roan antelope, ground hornbill, and giraffe.
