Marinas Camp
lies at the edge of Maun (about ten minutes drive from the
airport), along the Shorobe road, which leads to the Moremi
Game Reserve in the Okavango Delta, Botswana.
Maun, once a
frontier town for daring entrepreneurs, is now a bustling
place where you can buy almost everything and can enjoy a
visit to the local markets and curio shops, the museum, the
wildlife educational park, cultural tour to a nearby village
or a guided bird walk along the Thamalakane River - one of the
outflows of the Okavango Delta.
Due to the
unique biodiversity and incredible bird life the Okavango
attracts visitors from all over the world. Generally these
visitors fly straight out into a lodge in the delta without
ever really touching ground in Maun. For the few who do,
Marinas has become an unforgettable experience. Situated just
off the main road overlooking one of the floodplains, Marinas
has the feeling of being in the bush. Marinas offers 8
thatched roundavels - either twin, double or family - with
en-suite facilities. All beds have mosquito nets, and all
rooms have fans. The large pool and restaurant both offer
unobstructed views over an old floodpain where hopefully in
the near future zebras might be spotted. Superb food is served
either at the bar, the beer garden, around the pool or at
individual tables in the restaurant. And by the way, our
breezy bush bar serves the coldest drinks in Maun!
The eight
thatched en-suite roundavels blend into the surrounding and
are placed in a semi circle, creating the impression of a
small village, with the ‘kgotla’ (traditionally the main
meeting area) in the centre. In our case, the meeting centre
is a round breezy bar that encourages great conversations over
a cold drink. If you like more privacy you could leave the bar
for the cosy beer garden or overlook the pool whilst enjoying
an intimate dinner from our international kitchen. If you
would rather enjoy our fabulous food inside, Marinas also has
a restaurant with a majestic view.
