Wildtrack Safaris Eco Lodge

Wildtrack Safaris Eco Lodge sits near the village of Pandamatenga in northern Botswana, on the border of Hwange National Park and close to Kazuma National Park. Chobe National Park and the Chobe River are roughly an hour away — reachable on a full day trip the lodge can arrange, along with visits to Hwange, the Okavango Delta, and Victoria Falls.

The lodge runs entirely on solar power. Hot water is heated by solar panels, all waste is recycled, and treated effluent is returned to the environment clean. Eleven thatched suites are spread across lush lawns; each is styled and themed around African cultural traditions, with extra-length king beds and natural stone baths that open to private outdoor rain showers. One suite is wheelchair accessible and configured for families, with up to three extra-length beds. A swimming pool sits in the grounds alongside a boma that overlooks a lit waterhole.

Game drives go out in open four-by-four vehicles, operating in the Kazuma pans and south toward Deka in the Sibuyu reserve — morning and night departures are both available. Guided bush walks and a cultural tour of Pandamatenga village, which begins with a formal introduction to the village elders at the Kgotla, give guests contact with the community and its ongoing projects. Bird watching, star gazing, and high tea round out the on-site programme.

The lodge offers a complimentary airport shuttle and laundry service, and has secure parking for self-drive guests.
