Crocodile Lodge – Maun
Our journey begins in Maun, Botswana’s safari gateway—accessible via Johannesburg, Cape Town, or Addis Ababa. Just beyond the town’s bustle lies Crocodile Lodge, a peaceful riverside retreat with a pool, spa, restaurant, and bar—perfect for unwinding after a long flight.

Grassland Lodge – Central Kalahari
Our journey continues by road from Maun into Botswana’s wild heart. After crossing cattle farmland and sandy tracks, we reach Grassland Safari Lodge—a family-run retreat on a former cattle farm, now a 10,000-hectare private reserve bordering the vast Central Kalahari. Wildlife moves freely between the protected lands and the reserve, bringing the wild to your doorstep.
This isn’t just a lodge—it’s where heritage, hospitality, and wilderness come together. From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed like family.
