Nata Lodge | Established Campground

April 16th, 2024 by Olive'sTravels

Well received at reception. Camping under shade with lots of sand underfoot.
Watch out for the late afternoon dust storm accompanied by rain. It rained mud & campsite is quite a bit of a mess. Stayed 2 nights. Did not use bar, restaurant or pool.
No wifi at campsites, electricity though.

Great stopover for us between Gweta and Kasane. Lovely pool area. Campsite is sandy area with trees - show up and choose your spot. Nice well maintained ablutions and hot showers. Electricity available. We did not eat at the restaurant.

Visited in dry season so campsite was lacking in shade, very sandy underfoot (no attempt in the camping area at watering just a few small patches of grass), there were no braai facilities or taps where we camped and two of the four electricity sockets were dead. Ablutions fine. As is usual there was no wifi coverage for campers, only at the lodge main building some way away - time for change campsite owners, campers use and need wifi as do your upmarket guests!

Nice area, well maintained. Village of Nata just a few miles away has fuel, groceries, etc. Very accommodating staff as our turbo blew and were waiting on a replacement. They found a spot for us even though they were tightly booked. Have taken guests there and they always comment on how nice it is.

We had two nights here in the safari tents (taking a break from the roof top). The safari tents are very nice, private bathroom with outdoor shower, clean beds, and power. No cooking facilities but shared braai stand. Great bar with good choice menu, and TV. Very nice pool. We pre booked and paid through Temba College but you can just turn up.

Nice food and great staff.
Lovely stopover for lunch on the road.

Reception staff friendly. Campsite area has thick sand to walk to/from ablutions. Ablutions well maintained, incl washing up area with hot water and clean. There is a light at each camp site which can’t be turned off, so you see a few lights at night. Many trees and shady spots to camp under, but no view of anything. Can hear some road noise. Nice bar, cold beers at P25. Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner though we didn’t eat there. Braai wood for sale at expensive price of P90 per bundle. Camping cost P95 pp. No power, tap at individual campsite but available at ablutions. Round cement base for fire. In my opinion the campsites at Nata bird sanctuary are more beautiful, but the ablutions here are the nicest.

Lovely place. Nice staff, refreshing pool, clean ablutions...
Camping is still 95 Pula pppn.

Nata Lodge akways a favorite for us.

Great place just off main road but set far enough back. Clean, spacious with all the amenities. Clean , well designed ablutions. Campsite is sand and nicely laid out and includes fire pit and electrical hookups. Staff are hospitable and friendly. Pool is probably the highlight after a hot day.

My 3rd time here and it remains the same. This sandy roads hard to push a bicycle through, sandy camp site wherever you want to pitch your tent. Electricity is awkward because a block of plugs in some areas and nothing in others. I didn't see taps in the camp but I did previously. Overlander buses stop here. lots. Bar staff are unbelievably slow and lazy.

Ablutions still excellent and clean. Food is FANTASTIC. Stayed for 2 days this time and chilled with a book by the pool. wifi is only available in reception and bar area.

It was hard to find shade but campsites are still okay. Electricity available. Very clean ablutions and showers. Nice swimming pool, very friendly staff. We ended up staying two nights instead of one.

November 21st, 2019 by k-munro

Very nice lodge with friendly staff and lots of camping sites, you just drive around and pick your spot. Most have electricity and braai stands of some kind. Ablutions were very nice. Swimming pool, bar and restaurant available and small curio shop. Our only complaint was the loud overland groups which disturbed our peace in the evening and early morning. We arrived on the day without pre booking

This is a well known and run establishment with a great pool! The campsite is quite sandy, but this is Africa! The one shady area under the palms south of the well maintained and nice ablutions is a communal spot for the security at night so it is noisy there. Recommended for rooftop overlanders, ground tents will struggle with the sand especially when it rains. P95pppn camping, our 31 month old free.

October 25th, 2019 by nciancio

So busy with so many overland trucks. WiFi is free but very slow, pool was so crowded, camp sites had power but not enough power for our fridge. Good clean abolitions. Reasonable price at 95 P per person.

October 24th, 2019 by nciancio

So crowded with loads of buses. Very busy, not so clean pool. They do have free WiFi but it is quite slow. Campsites are sandy and hot, but it is reasonable priced at 95 P pp.

Not sure what everyone is raving about ... the camping is a sand pit under palm trees, rude staff, expensive drinks, ablutions rustic doesn't begin to describe it! And after you've showered you can take a lovely sandy walk back and wash your feet again.

Huge hotel & campground, I guess more than a dozen large campspots. Many have electricity.
Wifi only at reception/pool/restaurant area, but there it works very well due to several connections.
P95 per adult, P55 for child of 10yrs
Some road noise and some campspots can smell the toilet-tank (between ablutions & main road) depending on wind.
A lot of security staff.
Overall a nice & good place if you value good facilities & don‘t mind being in a large place with group tourists.

Bush Babies!💕
Great night under the palms at Nata Lodge.
Absolutely love this place, too bad it's only ever a stop over towards other places.
Friendly staff and great coffee.

We stayed for two nights, the facilities at Nata Lodge is first class and really a nice place to stay.

June 2nd, 2019 by anna.fraenzel

sandy campsite with plenty of shade. some road noise. lodge has wifi, bar , restaurant and pool. lovely evening drive to Nata Bird Sanctuary well worth it. about 30usd pp. campsites have some electricity. very nice ablutions. firewood available for 30 pula for a small bundle.

April 12th, 2019 by instagram.com/eric.from.thebronx

95 Pula per person to camp. Electricity at some campsites. Very sandy spots. Nice showers and toilets. WiFi is better than people say... maybe depends how crowded it is. Nice pool. No access to kitchen, but staff said they can give us boiling water.

March 11th, 2019 by post

Very clean ablutions, beatiful swimmingpool and comfortable sunbeds in the shade. Not much animals at the camp site, but the game drive into Bird Sanctuary and salt pans was very nice. Camping 95 pp pn, game drive 265 pp, 3 hours.

March 2nd, 2019 by Crocodileriver

Sandy campsite with good facilities. Small refreshing pool. Still 95 pula pp. The security guards, who were sitting in front of the ablutions and dish wash area, made the most noise. Annoying. No WiFi at campsite.

Good campsite with shady spots and nice swimming pool. Lots of bush babies.

September 22nd, 2018 by wildlifemargrit

So glad this place recovered from the flooding! Good to be camped here again as it remains the perfect stop over for us. One place that is kept up and always clean. Only downside is the camp sites are sandy. WiFi a bit slow, but it works better than most in Botswana.

August 8th, 2018 by pietervercampt

beautiful camp sites under big trees. they organise excursions to the Nata Bird Sanctuary for good prices which we liked a lot! wifi is not good at all...

July 28th, 2018 by Khayaonwheels

Perfect for a stopover, do laundry, have dinner and enjoy some company although its very busy in this time with the usual groups of older SA people who set up their trailers and bakkies in their circles and overland trucks so its a noisy campsite at 5am. Great facilities otherwise, bar with DSTV for sports, reasonable menu although the food is quite average to below standard I feel. No water at the sites and the wifi is basically non existent so don’t come for that. P85 + P10 levy so P95 pp per night. Look out for the bush babies in the campsite at night!

Looking good as always, but pretty empty

June 19th, 2018 by a.m.bonhage

clean ablutions and nice bar/ restaurant. staff are friendly. campsites are a bit sandy.

June 12th, 2018 by LandyOverland

Camping in shady but very sandy sites with fire pits. Ablutions good but very noisy road nearby. 95Ppp.

April 16th, 2018 by lottesewalt

Great oasis in the area. Looks clean and campsites are nice as well. Enough ablutions and space. There is a pool and a shop, a bar and a restaurant. We paid 95P per person for camping.

January 30th, 2018 by vrijwilligdoorafrika

Still as described below. Perfect stop over with nice pool. WiFi not too good though...

June 1st, 2017 by WanderingHedgehog

We liked this camp under palms. Lodge facilities good and had a nice meal in restaurant. Communal washing, kitchen and ablutions but all well maintained and clean. Camp pitches wherever you want but few fire pits and no braais. Good privacy when campsite empty but that could diminish if camp busy. Could hear road noise overnight but didn't keep us awake

March 20th, 2017 by wildlifemargrit

Disappointed! Place closed due to flooding. Stayed here several times before, nice place. Watched bushbaby catch moths by security light. Went over to Pelican Lodge... not the same. Not worth what we paid.
