Set in one of the most pristine wilderness areas left on our planet, the villa rests in a camp on the banks of the Spillway, as it enters the Linyanti River. The private 130,000-hectar, the Reserve boasts elephants by the thousands, regular sightings of the pack of African wild dogs as well as the famous Lion Pride recently feature in the National Geographic film “Birth of a Pride” by Dereck and Beverly Joubert. The area has a sense of remoteness, a true spirit of Africa, and is a great example of Botswana bush embodying a variety of species and rare animals. The Suite is a private 2-bedroom suite and can cater for a maximum of four adults sharing or two adults and up to three children sharing, in two separate en-suite bedrooms.

Overview of the house

The space

The Suite, consists of a two-bedroom tented suite and operates exclusively, as guests enjoy their own private vehicle, safari guide, chef, manager/butler and entrance to their residence. The Villa represents the meeting place of three cultures; European, Mokololo and Bayei and is themed to resemble that of the thatched village of Sangwali. Spears, shields and an African version of Robinson Crusoe is the enduring theme through the camp, and its architectural design elements center around water, air, earth and fire, all of which ground the design. The property's design design pays homage first and foremost to Water, with splashes of blue and crystal-clear swimming pools offering views over the equally immaculate Selinda Spillway to ease your arrival, usually by boat. The afternoon breezes that ripple the endless sea of nearby grasses is a tribute to Air. Earth is represented in the cornucopia of home-grown meals lovingly prepared in our kitchens, fresh from the earth, and the bright flames of our evening Fire complete the ethos of being in harmony with nature’s natural elements. There is in some cultures a fifth element, ‘metal’, which is also incorporated into the design.
