About Nata Lodge
Nata Lodge is an oasis set among the Mokolwane Palms on the edge of the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans. The lodge is ideally situated close to the entrance of the Nata Bird Sanctuary, just off the main road and 10 km south of Nata Village.
This is the junction to the Okavango, Chobe National Park, Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe/Zambia), and Francistown areas. Nata Lodge offers 22 luxury thatched chalets built on stilts and set in a rustic African style, with en-suite bathrooms including indoor baths and outdoor showers. The chalets now also boast air-conditioning.
We also offer 10 custom-designed Meru tents set on wooden decks with en-suite bathrooms and outdoor showers. All our beds are of twin bed configuration. Additionally, we have 2 family chalets that accommodate 4 guests (twin beds and a bunk bed).
One chalet has been built to accommodate not only the physically challenged but also those guests who require easier access to the shower and toilet. Our campsite boasts stylish, semi-open ladies' and gents' ablution facilities with hot and cold showers.
Custom Designed Safari Tents
Our 10 luxury safari tents are built on raised wooden platforms nestled under the lodge’s many Marula trees. These unique tents feature en-suite bathrooms and all the amenities offered in any of the lodge’s chalets.
Camping
The campsite surroundings offer peace and tranquillity with the backdrop being that of the Botswana night sky. The lodge’s campsite can accommodate 150 guests, and the ablution areas are stylish with semi-open showers offering hot and cold water.
The campsite has central electrical power banks for those requiring electricity. The socket is a standard RSA 3-pin round plug, 240V.
Activities at Nata Lodge
The shady tree canopy surrounding the lodge is a hive of activity, with a bird feeding area and an active water feature providing bird watchers with the opportunity to view a variety of species from the comfort of the pool deck, open bar, or restaurant.
The Helmeted Guineafowl, Crested Francolin, Yellow Hornbill, Pied and Arrowmarked Babblers, Glossy Starling, Meyer’s Parrot, and Paradise Whydah are just some of the species you will encounter during your stay at the lodge.
When the sun sets and the birds retire to their nests, it’s the turn of the large family of nocturnal bush babies to entertain you at their feeding table. Your evening meals can be enjoyed at the à la carte restaurant with a typical braai (barbecue) buffet every Saturday night in the boma area.
Bird Watching
For keen bird watchers and naturalists, Nata Lodge offers open-vehicle, three-hour excursions into the Nata Sanctuary. Mammal species in the sanctuary include antelope such as kudu and springbok, as well as springhares, jackals, foxes, and monkeys.
However, the main attraction is the abundance of birdlife. Around 165 bird species, including kingfishers, eagles, ostriches, pelicans, spoonbills, and both greater and lesser flamingos, have been recorded.
