Meno A Kwena is a unique safari camp incorporating a traditional safari theme with African culture in a wildlife environment that excites all emotions. The camp is designed to take full advantage of the most incredible view in Botswana. This may not be the most opulent safari camp in Botswana but we make up for it with style, attention to detail and service. We are extremely sensitive to our guests’ safety and relaxation while sharing our enormous passion for wildlife.
Meno A Kwena is an old-style safari camp, run by David Dugmore, an experienced guide with a real passion for Botswana's bush and for community development . It is situated on tribal land on a cliff edge overlooking the Boteti River, which began to flow again in late 2008, having been dry for over 15 years. The name Meno A Kwena is the local name for the area, which translates as 'teeth of the crocodile'.
Rooms
The small camp has six twin and two double tents, each with en suite flush toilets and authentic safari showers, all within an enclosure of thorny branches for safety from wandering wildlife. A natural rock plunge pool and viewing tents overlook the scenic Boteti River and wildlife in the national park.

The food delicious and of a high standard; this is particularly impressive as it is all cooked over an open fire. Plenty of fresh ingredients are used together with well-made sauces and flavours. Just in case you get peckish between meals there is often a freshly baked cake for afternoon tea, and snacks to accompany your sundowner drinks.
