Gweta Lodge is an oasis set in the middle of a village on the edge of the Makgadikgadi Pans. The lodge is ideally situated to take advantage of the gateway to the Makgadikgadi and a vast range of activities, excursions and game drives are available.
Gweta Lodge offers a variety of accommodation ranging from family rooms which sleep four; single, double rooms and rondavels. All equipped with ceiling fans, mosquito nets and en-suite showers. For those on a small budget, there are also safari tents with shared bathrooms and guests are also welcome to bring their own vehicles and tents for camping. An ablution block with toilets and hot showers is available nearby. There is a fireplace for cooking and warming up on cold nights.
The public areas include a bar, lounge, pool, open rondavels, a restaurant, and a boma fireplace. Around the central pool you may indulge on one of homemade meals in the restaurant, have a relaxing drink in the bar or sit back in the lounge.
The dryness and salinity of the pans makes them appear as a moonscape, devoid of life, especially in the dry season. In spite of this, birds, hyena and small animals frequent the pans throughout the year. During the rainy season, you will find thousands of zebra on the Makgadikgadi Pans, which lies on the route of one of the greatest animal migrations in Africa. Gweta Lodge offers you the chance to spend a night on the pans under the stars, for a "Not To Be Missed" experience. The lodge is also situated in a village with cultural walks and tours available to experience the local culture and traditions. (All activities are optional and at an additional cost)
