About the Property

A Riverside Base for the Delta

Thamalakane River Lodge sits on the Thamalakane River, about 19 km from Maun on the road towards Moremi Game Reserve. It is roughly a 20-minute drive from Maun Airport. Guests arrive by self-drive or by fly-and-transfer. The lodge presents itself as a gateway to the Okavango Delta and Moremi, and Expert Africa describes it as suited to a one-night stopover before or after a safari.

Accommodation is in stone-and-thatch chalets. Most are Babbler chalets with river views. There are also two Kingfisher family rooms and a Lilac-breasted Roller honeymoon suite with its own plunge pool. Chalets have fans, mosquito nets and tea and coffee facilities. Camping is also offered, with powered sites and furnished tents.

The lodge has a swimming pool, a restaurant and bar with a pizza oven, a curio shop and an activity booking centre. From there you can book boat cruises on the Boro River into the Delta, full-day Moremi game drives, mokoro trips and mobile safaris in Meru tents. Children of all ages are welcome, and childminding is available on request.
