Botswana: Introducing Ker & Downey's Grays Eden Boutique Hotel

Ker & Downey Botswana

INTRODUCING GRAYS EDEN - A NEW LUXURY BOUTIQUE HOTEL IN MAUN, BOTSWANA

Ker & Downey Botswana is thrilled to announce the development of a new luxury boutique hotel in the safari outpost town of Maun, gateway to the Okavango Delta and Ker & Downey Botswana’s well-known circuit of luxury tented camps. Personally built to exacting standards and owned by flamboyant long term Maun residents Sandrine and Sam Morris, Ker & Downey Botswana is proud to partner with Grays Eden, a first of its kind on an idyllic stretch of the seasonal Thamalakane River and will open doors on the 15th of July 2024.

A place of quiet, impeccable service, fine food and wine, the intimate and secluded Grays Eden space offers the weary, yet discerning traveller from afar a place to relax and acclimatize before embarking on their safari or before departing Botswana.

ABOUT GRAYS  EDEN

Featuring thatched, high ceilings and tall archways, the hotel welcomes light and infuses a sense of tranquility and space. Modern, minimalist interiors with a light blue, white and natural palette are accentuated by large, generous verandas overlooking grassy lawns with dappled shade from leadwood and raintrees. The lounge and restaurant terrace flows effortlessly out onto the lawns overlooking the Thamalakane River, where guests may choose to enjoy a seasonal picnic basket with artisanal delights.

Boasting one of finest chefs in Botswana with an emphasis on local produce, The Eden Kitchen and Restaurant presents a varied a la carte menu, tempting the palate with both local and international favourites, inviting conviviality.

Comprised of just 12 individually decored rooms (5 sumptuous Villas and 7 youthful and spirited Cottages), Grays Eden’s rooms all feature generous verandas and light, airy living spaces. A ceiling fan and fireplace assure coolness and warmth, when needed.

Just 10 minutes from Maun Airport, Grays Eden provides a complimentary meet and greet service with vehicle transfers to and from the hotel.

Whether you choose to unwind on a lounger at the high embankment pool overlooking the Thamalakane River, indulge with an in-villa spa treatment after long distance travel or revel in a private culinary and wine experience in the Cliff Wine Cellar, Grays Eden is the perfect addition on the doorstep of the Northern Botswana safari circuit which allows travellers a restful, then seamless transition into or out of their wilderness adventure.

Natural Selection news: Royal Tree Lodge | Роял Три Лодж Ботсвана

Natural Selection news - Royal Tree Lodge Botswana | Роял Три Лодж Ботсвана

WE ARE EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT WE HAVE ADDED ROYAL TREE LODGE TO OUR PORTFOLIO OF UNIQUE BOTSWANA CAMPS.

This 250-hectare private reserve on the banks of the Thamalakane River is packed with plains game, ideal habitats of river, riverine and dry savannah and offers an abundance of bird life in the area. Best of all, it is only a 20-minute drive or 5-minute helicopter from Maun airport.

So as you can imagine – we are putting the champers on ice. Getting all our ducks in a row and slowly giving Royal Tree Lodge the Natural Selection royal treatment - ready to hit the ground running for 2022.

Now under new management, you’ll be delighted to hear that Royal Tree Lodge is getting a stylish new revamp! Along with the new look and feel, it is also getting a name change - which we can't wait to reveal really soon. We are also adding a private villa, perfect for small groups & families. The main lodge area will be getting a new make-over and we are making modish changes to our already existing 10 Luxury Tent Suites & 2 air-conditioned Honeymoon Suites.

CONVENIENT FOR PCR TESTS & WE'VE GOT YOUR BACK IF YOU NEED TO QUARANTINE IN BOTSWANA!

This 24-bed luxury lodge, set amongst a lush forest of ancient leadwood and acacia trees, is only a stone’s throw from Maun Airport, and extremely convenient for anyone needing to get their COVID-19 PCR test done 24-hours before flying home.

The really reassuring news for all our Natural Selection guests staying three nights or more at any of our properties is that if you do unfortunately test positive for COVID-19 while in Botswana, we will put you up at Royal Tree Lodge, free of charge whilst in quarantine. So all guests travelling with us, from now and in 2022, can travel with total peace of mind knowing that there is a back-up plan in place.

ENJOY TOTAL TRANQUILITY, IN THIS PRIVATE WILDERNESS.

Royal Tree Lodge is an idyllic place to spend a few nights close to Maun, the last stop and gateway to the Okavango Delta. A hot-spot for bird lovers and wildlife enthusiasts - you'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to all you can see and do. Here you can safely explore the area, on foot or on horseback, while taking in the peace and tranquility of this beautiful reserve.

This truly is the perfect place to start or end your Botswana adventure.

We are extremely excited to welcome this incredible lodge as the youngest member of the Natural Selection family.
