Meno A Kwena Tented Camp is situated on the banks of the Boteti Riverbed, which has been dry since 1995 (though an unusual flood did appear in 2009!). Meno A Kwena was established, and is still run by, the wildlife documentary producer, and Kalahari and Okavango expert, David Dugmore.
During the dry season, the pools around the riverbed provide the only source of water for much of Southern Africa's largest zebra and wildebeest migration. Resident and migratory wildlife around Meno A Kwena also includes elephants, lions, monkeys, giraffe, wild dogs and a huge number of different bird species, all of whom are drawn to the waterhole 100 feet below the camp.
Meno A Kwena is very much in the style and spirit of an authentic safari camp. Accommodation is in large comfortable safari tents, set on the edge of the riverbank. Each tent has a semi-attached bathroom with flush toilet and bucket shower. There is a main tent with lounge area, library, bar and kitchen. The chef cooks meals safari-style; over the campfire, on the barbecue and in the tin box oven.
The pace of life at Meno A Kwena is relaxed, allowing guests to savour the vast Kalahari skies and the richness of wildlife. There is a rock pool for a cooling dip.
