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.

With the recent addition are 2 new Honeymoon cottages – The Lodge can now accommodate 18 persons. The Cottages are thatched with a unique outside shower set amongst the forest. Another feature is an en 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.
