Botswana: Sun Destinations: Chobe Mopani Forest Lodge

Sun Destinations

Chobe Mopani Forest Lodge

We officially welcome Chobe Mopani Forest Lodge to the Sun Destinations portfolio. The lodge complements the rest of our accommodation options along the Trails of Botswana route, offering plenty of scope to explore the Chobe Region.

Chobe Mopani Forest Lodge overlooks a thriving waterhole in the remote Kasane Forest Reserve, a relatively unexplored concession bordering the Zambezi National Park in the northern stretches of Botswana. The closest safari tourist town is Kasane, which has an airport open to both domestic and international flights.

Boasting 20 bedrooms over two storeys that all face the waterhole, this secluded hideaway ensures every need is met in terms of accommodation. Fans, mosquito nets, safes, private balconies with seating, and butler’s trays in each room provide a much needed sense of comfort. 

In addition to the standard bedroom options, there are also 2 luxury Meru style tents on raised platforms that cater for guests requiring something a little bit more luxurious.

For those needing a respite from the African heat, you’ll be pleased to know that there is a swimming pool on-site, complete with a deck area with chairs and umbrellas. When you’re not soaking up the tranquility of the bushveld at the pool’s edge, you can spend time in the boma area where a crackling fire breaks the silence of the bushveld.

The lodge’s claim to fame is its prolific elephant herds, many of which can be spotted congregating around the lodge’s waterhole - it’s not uncommon to spend evenings dining with elephants. In addition to Chobe Mopani Forest Lodge’s enviable location, it is also fast becoming a sought-after safari destination for large groups seeking a lodge of superior quality with African inspired design.

Boasting 20 bedrooms that all face the waterhole (two levels), this secluded hideaway ensures every need is met in terms of accommodation. Fans, mosquito nets, safes, private balconies with seating, and butler’s trays in each room provide a much needed sense of comfort. In addition to the standard bedroom options, there are also 2 luxury Meru style tents on raised platforms that cater for guests requiring something a little bit more luxurious.

The main area of the lodge is joined to the rooms by a quaint wooden walkway that meanders its way from the rooms to an expansive reception area housing a curio shop, and a further viewing deck overlooking the waterhole. There is also a massage spa being built, which will offer another dimension to the already sublime safari experience.

The two dining areas each have a small bar area, and like the rest of the lodge, overlooks the bustling waterhole. Safari goers can expect to dine in splendour, while being introduced a fusion of flavours during meal times. Dining at Chobe Mopani is a protracted affair, and great care is taken with the dishes served. Hospitality here is top notch.

For those needing a respite from the African heat, you’ll be pleased to know that there is a swimming pool on-site, complete with a deck area with chairs and umbrellas. When you’re not soaking up the tranquility of the bushveld at the pool’s edge, spend time in the boma area where a crackling fire breaks the silence of the bushveld.

Included in your safari experience are two activities per day, which can include sundowner drives to the Kazuma Pan; a full day into the Chobe National Park for game drives and a boat cruise; cultural village tours; and day trips to Victoria Falls. These safaris open up a world of opportunity to view the high concentration of African wild dog, leopard, buffalo, elephant, lion, impalas, zebras, antelope, and plains game. Because the lodge is located between two parks - Chobe National Park and the Zambezi National Park - the game viewing is exceptional.

Sun Destinations: African Retreats Merges with Sun Destinations & Nambu Camp

African Retreats Merges with Sun Destinations | NEW Property

NAMBU CAMP JOINS SUN DESTINATIONS AS WE MERGE WITH AFRICAN RETREATS

When Two Becomes One

We are pleased to announce the merge of sister companies African Retreats and Sun Destinations. That’s right, African Retreats and Sun Destinations have tied the knot! In 2016, the directors of Sun Destinations - along with Corlia Oosthuizen - created a small boutique company that set out to offer reservation services to a handpicked selection of camps specialising in both local and international markets.

Don't worry—there won't be any changes to Sun Destinations, aside from the addition of a NEW camp to our Kruger portfolio. Nambu's affordable rate, stellar service, and location make it a sought-after lodge in the Balule Nature Reserve.

Nambu Camp moves Over to Sun Destinations

Owner of Nambu Camp, Rewald Drinkwater says “For years, African Retreats has provided our guests with exceptional service and memorable moments. We would like to thank them for their unwavering support and look forward to continued success with Sun Destinations. With Sun Destinations, you can expect the same level of personalised service and attention to detail that you have come to love at Nambu Camp. They will be looking after our marketing and reservations, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience. Their knowledgeable and experienced travel specialists are dedicated to making your trip to Africa unforgettable.”

The Lowdown

° Nambu Camp is located in the Big 5 Balule Nature Reserve

° There are 6 en-suite rooms available

° The Olifants River is located on Nambu's traverse

° Built on an old anthill, the entire camp is elevated

Fun Facts

° Bush dinners on the riverfront on Tuesdays and Fridays

° Owned by the Drinkwater family for over 40 years

° Owner is a foodie—you can expect top notch cuisine

° Swimming pool on the deck has views of the waterhole

° Main lodge area has elevated views of the wilderness

Sitting comfortably on an old anthill elevated above the landscape, rests a simple and sophisticated camp called Nambu. Its location in the heart of the Big 5 Balule Nature Reserve combined with its stellar guiding and warm hospitality, makes it a sought-after lodge in the greater Hoedspruit area. This hilltop lodge is a wildlife haven where tawny eagles soar above and herds of elephants drink down below.

The 6-bedroom safari lodge boasts views of the Drakensberg Mountains in the distance, a dry riverbed and waterhole. The open design of the lodge takes advantage of its aspect, ensuring the picturesque surroundings become part of the architecture.

The camp has been in the Drinkwater family for almost 40 years, passed down through the generations, and is home to many memories with both family and friends. The name Nambu means ‘river’ in the local language of IsiThonga, and this unique lodge has many ties to this natural source that flows through the traverse.

During the heat of the day, you can relax at the camp’s poolside or bird watch from the lodge’s vast viewing platform before a mid-day brunch up at the main camp. Wrap-around wooden balconies above the landscape boast exceptional views of the Balule, while an extensive lounge area cocooned by huge glass windows overlooks the bushveld. A boma area and pool with decking are other signature spaces to relax outdoors. It’s not uncommon to sport towering giraffe, bumbling elephants, and abundant plains game crossing the riverbed below while relaxing in the boma or around the poolside.

Simple, yet modern and stylish cuisine is served in the stunning open dining area. A light and healthy breakfast is served after your morning activity, followed by a more hearty brunch later in the afternoon. Canapés are served at sundowners in the bush then head back to camp for a delicious and elegant evening meal under the stars.

Winding wooden pathways lead the way from the main camp, through the lush gardens and to the secluded rooms, nestled into the bush. There are a total of 6 safari-style bedrooms and can accommodate up to 12 people. The rooms are well equipped for a stylish and comfortable stay in the bush, each room has air-conditioning and overhead fans as well as tea/coffee making facilities. Comfortable king size beds with modern and stylish bathrooms which look out to the bushveld behind.

At Nambu there are two game drive activities per day, which take place in the Big 5 Balule Nature Reserve, complete with coffee and sundowner stops. Both guides and trackers at Nambu are known for being some of the best in the area.

WELCOME TO THE SUN DESTINATIONS FAMILY, NAMBU!

Perfectly situated on a massive private concession, this lodge boasts a combination of finely tuned luxury with the classic authenticity of canvas and wooden structures. Mankwe blends in seamlessly with its natural surroundings and adds a feeling of being reunited with Africa’s endless wilderness.

From elegant spacious suites to health spas and secluded lounge areas to sit and lament on the wonders of safari, Mankwe Tented Retreat has every aspect of what a modern safari to Botswana should offer. There are also two swimming pools, both of which offer the perfect respite from the African sun.

This wooded retreat is the perfect way to start or end a dream safari to Botswana.

Mankwe Tented Retreat is effortlessly stylish, yet so simple in its design.

Hidden among the mopane trees in a 365 000 hectare concession bordering the Moremi Game Reserve, lies a simple and stylish wooden tented lodge.

Optional game drives and excursions take place in the world-renown Moremi Game Reserve and Okavango Delta, while daily drives take place in Mankwe's private concession.

The exceptional location of the lodge in true Botswana wilderness makes it a regular host to elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard, cheetah, and wild dogs.

It is in the perfect position for observing the perennial drama of the African Bushveld and provides excellent birding.

Activities at the camp include morning and afternoon game drives, as well as after-dark spotlight game drives in the concession.

Mankwe is the perfect place from which to begin a journey into the Delta, where there are many islands dotted throughout the myriad of waterways. If the water levels are high enough, guests can add on a traditional mokoro or boating experience while out in the Moremi.

Other activities on-site include special sundowner set-ups, birdwatching and guided walks with the San people.

The good news however is that countries around the world have started rolling out vaccine programs, showing us that the light at the end of this tunnel is starting to sparkle.

South Africa: Coronavirus COVID-19 chronicles: Sun Destinations Camp Closures

Sun Destinations South Africa Camp Closures

Coronavirus COVID-19 chronicles

Hi,

Following the announcement of a lock down in South Africa starting this Thursday and in line with public health advice, our South African camps have taken the decision to temporarily close with immediate effect. All the camps intend to reopen on 1 May 2020 provided that it is safe to do so. Our reservations team will be in touch with bookings travelling in March and April 2020.

We would really encourage you to push for postponements. You can postpone without having new dates and please note our updated terms further below. Postponing will assist in alleviating pressures on all of us as we try to preserve every reservation we have. The camps, yours and ours, number one priority is to protect staff and livelihoods and postponing as opposed to cancelling helps us all.

UPDATED TERMS and CONDITIONS

With the rapidly escalating travel bans we have revised our policies as follows:

Bookings travelling within the next 60 days.

We would encourage all guests booked to travel within 60 days and unable to travel due to travel bans to consider postponing their booking to a later date.
  
° We would encourage guests to postpone their booking to travel on or before 01 May 2021 at no extra cost.
° Should guests rebook to travel on or before 01 May 2021 and wish to make further changes to travel dates, this would be accommodated subject to availability.
° Should guests not wish to travel on or before 01 May 2021, we will extend postponement to 31 December 2021, subject to a 2021 rates.
° Should clients wish to cancel for travel within the next 60 days then standard cancellation policies will apply.

Bookings travelling more than 60 days out

Considering how quickly things are changing on a daily basis as regards COVID-19, we would encourage guests to delay any decisions to cancel or postpone these bookings at this stage. 

For bookings travelling more than 60 day out, our standard terms and conditions still apply. HOWEVER we are always willing to be flexible should you have any issues in applying the standard terms and conditions to guests bookings. We are happy to work on a case by case basis. Just as the pandemic is not the guests fault, neither it is the camps, or Sun Destinations or our valued agents and some reasonability needs to applied to all cancelled bookings.

REFUNDS

Please may I ask that there is some patience shown as regards refunds. Just as I am sure you all inundated with cancellations and refunds, there are only so many emails one can get through in a day. Ensuring that all refunds are processed correctly will take some time.

Here is hoping that by the 16th April 2020 we will all have a clearer idea of where this nightmare is going, and I just want to wish everyone the best. Our industry is the not only one affected and I hope that we can all somehow emerge on the other side safe and sound and livelihoods intact.

Thank you for supporting the camps, it is very much appreciated, and the camps look forward to welcoming guests again in the future.

Regards
Brett Thomson

South Africa: new Ivory Wilderness Riversong Camp

#Klaserie #KlaserieRiver #IvoryWilderness #IvoryWildernessRiversongCamp

New Camp in the Klaserie - Ivory Wilderness
We'd like to introduce the latest camp to the Sun Destinations portfolio, Ivory Wilderness Riversong Camp in the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve. This intimate and luxurious camp overlooks the Klaserie River, and is located in a sought after area.
The gentle Klaserie river meanders its way through a myriad of wild habitats. Hugging sandy river banks, fighting through tightly woven reeds and cutting across protruding boulders; the Klaserie river provides an oasis and refuge for a variety of wildlife.
Ivory Wilderness Riversong Camp is elegantly perched on a raised outcrop overlooking the river and gives the impression of being a protective guard over the mysterious landscape below. This spot is most certainly in an enviable position. Fall asleep to the sound of a lion’s roar echoing through the land and wake-up to the splendour of birdsong reverberating through the valley below.
