More about the Santawani Partnership
Lodges of Botswana has entered into a joint venture with the Sankuyo Tshwaragano Management Trust to form a new company, Santawani Partnership (Pty) Ltd, to develop and manage a lodge in NG33, the Trust’s photographic tourism concession abutting the southern boundary of the Moremi Game Reserve in the Okavango Delta.
The area is known to older safari hands as the Santawani area.
This deal represents the first, to our knowledge, real partnership between a community and a private concern. Lodges of Botswana is not leasing anything from the community, and nor have they acquired any rights from them. They each hold 50% of the shares in the operating company. Lodges of Botswana, whose involvement brings the tourism experience and expertise, will have management control of the business.
ACCESS: Serviced by Santawani Airstrip - a 15-minute flight from Maun.
CATEGORY OF SAFARI EXPERIENCE: Land Camp with game drives and night drives. The game experience is enhanced through off-road operating – a key to delivering a quality look at the predators that are widespread in our area.
ACCOMMODATION: We accommodate 12 guests in six chalets, each consisting of a twin bedroom, and bathroom. The old Santawani has undergone an extensive refurbishment with new decor, linen, public areas and guides – and a new style.
