Hidden within a grove of cathedral mopane trees overlooking the Hyena Pan, the only permanent water source for miles, Hyena Pan Tented Camp takes you to a wild corner of Botswana.
The camp is located on the pristine Khwai Private Reserve, bordering the Moremi Game Reserve and the fertile Khwai River in the south, and Chobe National Park in the east, making it a popular gathering point for the wildlife in the region.
You’ll be set in the midst of all the action as the mineral-rich waters of the Hyena Pan attract hordes of wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, lions, leopards, African wild dogs, buffalos, impalas, zebra, waterbucks, kudu, roans and red lechwes.
Hyena Pan Tented Camp perches over this spectacle, and you only need to open your tent and walk out to see splashing elephants, grazing antelopes and lurking lions.
While you don’t really need to leave your tent to experience first-class wildlife viewing, the camp offers morning and afternoon game drives through the private concession along the Khwai River and game walks with exceptional guides.
There’s also a ground-level hide near the waterhole, where keen photographers can snap the perfect picture.
If you prefer to get an elevated view, you can spend the morning or afternoon in the five-metre-high elevated platform overlooking the waterhole. You can even spend the night at the platform with Skybeds, a romantic experience where you’ll fall asleep under the stars to the sounds of Botswana’s animals.
