Motsentsela
Tree Lodge is a small Lodge ideally
situated away from the bustle of Maun,
perfect for the more discerning traveller,
on his/her way to or from the Okavango
Delta.
The
main thatched complex consisting of bar,
lounge, entrance hall and dining room is
very spacious, stylishly furnished with
large windows. The front is bordered by a
large teak deck, which surrounds two large
trees, a Leadwood and a Birdplum, from
which the Lodge gets its Setswana name.
The Lodge consists of seven large Meru
style tents, each with en suite toilet
facilities, catering for a maximum of
fourteen clients. The tents are large
enough to be very comfortable, simply
furnished but stylish and attractive. All
tents are on decks, surrounded by trees
and are well spaced for privacy.

suite large circular bath with stunning views.
Motsentsela
Tree Lodge has seven tented safari rooms and two
honeymoon suites, that are so far from camping it's
not funny. They are so stylish and comfortable, that
you just hope your next safari lodge in the Okavango
Delta will be this good.
Maun
is the base town from which most Okavango Delta
safaris start, and to avoid the rush of connecting
flights both inward and outgoing, I recommend
breaking into safari mode slowly with a night or two
at Motsentsela Tree Lodge.

The
owner Brent Dacomb has designed
and built many safari camps in
the Okavango Delta and
elsewhere, and when it came to
building his own safari camp, he
just selected all the best
design features and incorporated
them into Motsentsela Tree
Lodge. For once, here was
someone able tap into hindsight
to get the best possible result.
The main lodge area of Motsentsela
Tree Lodge is an open plan
thatch affair with doors opening
onto a large teak deck shaded by
a Leadwood and Birdplum trees,
under which meals and drinks are
often served. Wooden table sand
chairs scatter the deck, while a
large brown leather sofa and
easy chairs with African fabric
cushions invite you inside to
flop into them, while your
drinks are being poured at the
bar.
Dining is also an open affair,
where you are likely to chat
over fresh and tasty food with
the other guests at one big
table.
