ACCOMMODATION IN NATA

Fabulous. What more can I say? This lodge speaks for itself. Beautiful accommodation, friendly staff, divine food. Staying at Nata Lodge feels like you are in the heart of the Bush and one with nature. The only thing I am sad about is that our stay was too short.

Awesome oasis in the middle of Botswana. Great for families with a pool and we loved the tents. Highly recommend.

Nata Lodge has been a favourite destination of mine for a long time. There's a special kind of magic around. The accommodation is so comfortable and spacious. The staff are lovely and the sunset game drive salt pan excursion at Makgadikgadi Salt Pan is lovely. The sunsets are beautiful. There are wildebeest, zebra, flamingos as well and so many other bird species

I can't remember how many times I have stayed at the Nata Lodge and I have never been disappointed. Love everything about the place, and my family feel the same way. We love dining out under the stars. Most of the staff have been there many years and can't do enough for you and always with a smile.

This lodge was excellent! An oasis! Easy booking when we arrived with all staff being helpful and friendly. Our room was stunning with a beautiful outside shower. The pool area was lovely and tropical, where we had a superb meal. Highly recommend a stay here.

From the moment you enter the impressive reception you will be filled with expectations. There is a unique shop, which is a must-see. Later as you wander through the lodge you will find a charming pool, harmoniously surrounded by trees. Nata Lodge is a perfect retreat.
