Mma Dinare Camp
An eco-conscious, classic tented lodge on the south eastern end of the Okavango Delta, idyllically positioned on elevated stilts overlooking the floodplains where wildlife roams freely on a private concession adjacent to Moremi Game Reserve.
Mma Dinare Camp Introduction
Mma Dinare, meaning ‘mother buffalo’, is an addition to an established portfolio if tested and true Botswana safari lodges. It is eco-friendly in its construction and its operation, yet there is no compromise on that classic, Okavango safari style that draws visitors to the Delta throughout the year. Small and intimate, running off solar power and utilising sustainable, locally sourced materials, Mma Dinare has nine individual elevated tented rooms, a thatched main lodge with a spacious lounge and dining area, wrap-around viewing deck, swimming pool and sun deck, open-air boma extending out over the floodplains, and a curio shop stocked with locally made arts and crafts.
- There are six tented rooms, including one family tent, which has a second adjoining bedroom with two single beds suitable for families of four.
- Located in a private concession in the Okavango Delta offering seasonal water-based activities on the Gomoti River, day and night drives, and walking safaris.
- Canvas tents with wooden floors and finishes are spacious and simply styled with en suite bathrooms, lounge areas, and private decks overlooking the floodplain.
- Santawani airstrip services the lodge, located a 45-minute game drive away.
- Game viewing vehicles are designed for six guests, allowing ample space on game drives.
Mma Dinare Camp Game Viewing and Activities
The Gomoti River, upon which the lodge is built, floods seasonally allowing for water-based activities like mokoro excursions and boating safaris in the high-water season. Throughout the year, day and night game drives on the private concession offer up-close encounters with Botswana’s wild roaming wildlife. Elephant, buffalo, hippo, giraffe, kudu, lechwe, tsessebe, among many others are attracted to the fertile floodplains and the availability of food and water on the concession. Lion, leopard, endangered wild dogs, and cheetah are among the Delta’s hunters, rare antelope species like eland, roan, and sable also thrive in the environment. Night drives offer the chance to see nocturnal creatures like honey badgers, genets, and bush babies, and more tranquil activities like mokoro cruises and walks invite some quality bird watching opportunities. Mealtimes under the stars are often accompanied by the rasping call of the leopard, or the whoop of the spotted hyena.
