Wildtrack Safaris Eco Lodge
Overview
Wildtrack Safaris Eco Lodge borders the Hwange National Park and is situated near the village of Pandamatenga and the Kazuma National Park.
Botswana’s beautiful Chobe region is only an hour from the lodge, making it possible to explore the Chobe National Park and River. The lodge lives up to its name; it is our aim to minimise our impact on the environment. The entire lodge is solar-powered; all hot water is supplied by solar geysers, waste is recycled and effluent treated and returned to the environment safe and clean. Wildtrack Safaris Eco Lodge is a private and exclusive lodge comprising of eleven thatched luxury suites - one of which is both wheelchair friendly and family oriented. Each suite is uniquely styled and themed to reflect Africa's rich and diverse cultures, with extra-length King size beds appointed in crisp, white linen. The en-suite bathrooms with natural stone baths open out to private outdoor rain showers with panoramic views, allowing guests to experience the true spirit of Africa. Take time to relax on the lush tree-filled lawns, or cool off in our sparkling swimming pool - while sipping on a sundowner as the sun sets ablaze with colours. After a sumptuous, gourmet dinner, unwind at the boma overlooking a lit waterhole – or simply lie back whilst taking in the splendour of the Milky Way’s stars, as the exhilarating sounds of the African bush comes alive. Wildtrack Safari Eco Lodge has a range of activities on offer, which include morning and night game drives in open 4x4 game drive vehicles, guided bush walks, as well as interactive tours within the community of Pandamatenga - allowing guests the opportunity not only to observe, but also contribute towards ongoing community enrichment programs. Day trips to the Chobe National Park, Hwange National Park, the Okavango Delta and the Victoria Falls can be arranged whilst at the lodge.

Game Drives
Our inclusive game drives are operated in Kazuma pans on the Botswana side, as well as south towards Deka, in the Sibuyu reserve, with our sundowers being an experience in itself. Other thank our inclusive game drives we are able to offer day trips to both Chobe & Hwange National Parks: CHOBE DAY TRIP: A Wildtrack representative will collect guests from Wildtrack and take them to Kasane where they will be met by their guide for their Chobe experience. The Chobe day trip includes a 3 hour river cruise and 3 hour game drive, with lunch on The Raft floating restaurant, where guests can enjoy traditional cuisine while still being surrounded by the natural beauty of Chobe River. At around 16:00 / 16:30 vehicles will make their way out of the national park towards Kasane, with an estimated arrival time of about 18:00. HWANGE DAY TRIP: Our Hwange day trip focuses (not included) in the area surrounding Robins camp – in order to give our guests a different feel, and the opportunity to spot some of the many animals the area is known for. Once park formalities have been completed, we head off to Crocodile pools, for some croc and hippo spotting –as well as break for coffee and muffins. From there, we travel through some unspoilt areas via Chingahobe dam, before breaking for a packed lunch at Deteema dam. Thereafter we make our way back towards the gate via Salt Pan, Big toms and Little Toms, before heading out – and back to the border by 5pm.
Pandamatenga Village Tour
Our cultural tour begins with meeting the village elders at the Pandamatenga Kgotla, to introduce our guests to them – as well as request permission to enter the village. This is followed by a tour of the village, which encompasses stops to some of the projects our lodge is associated with / involved in – such as the new school that is being built, a community garden we have launched, as well as the community hall – where we encourage ladies in the community to ‘get creative’. We also stop at a house in the village, and introduce our guests to some of the customs, foods and traditions of the Motswana culture. This allows our guests direct interaction with the community, further giving them the opportunity to ‘give back’, should they wish – without feeling obliged. We end off the day with a boma dinner at our lodge, entertaining our guests with song, dance and rhythm – provided for by the local choir.
