NITANI

Set in the wilderness of the Northern Tuli Game Reserve in the eastern corner of Botswana, Nitani offers African travellers a special bush experience - more than just a quick look at Africa's Big Five.

Decadent staff-to-guest ratios, superb cuisine and a choice of 5 beautifully appointed guest suites help make the Nitani experience second to none!

The philosophy that underpins conservation tourism at Nitani is the synthesis of three people: Owners Shane and Adie Pinchen and their philosophical mentor, William Thipe, a wise Batswana conservationist and wildlife expert in his own right.

You will become attuned to a world that is increasingly rare - one that is unspoilt by the visual and aural pollution that has become almost ubiquitous in the modern world. The human impact has been minimised as much as possible through careful architecture and environmentally friendly technology.

This is no zoo in the bush. The animals are not vehicle-habituated and the game viewing is as non-intrusive as possible. On a night drive, for example, all spotlights and vehicle lights are red filtered for minimum discomfort to the animals.

There are only five luxurious suites at Nitani Lodge. Each is set on stilts above the Majale River completely blending in with the environment and all have their own plunge pool.

There is always water here, which means that there are invariably animals that can be viewed from the safety and comfort of your suite. The standard of appointments is world class and each suite is totally private.

There is enough staff to wait on you hand and foot and to cater for your every need, but at the same time your privacy is sacrosanct. Our guests over the years have included a number of publicity-shy celebrities but never has a word escaped from Nitani to the outside world. This is a private Eden.

Nitani provides a individualised experience. Nothing here is regimented or structured and we do everything in our power to ensure that your stay is spectacular. If you have a specialised interest in astronomy, birds, butterflies, bugs, botany, archaeology, geography or any other of the natural sciences we have either resident or consultant experts available who will be delighted to spend time with you.

Our meals are prepared by an internationally renowned Swedish chef. There is nothing as prescriptive as a set menu - he cooks in consultation with you, creating individualised menus so we can easily cater for your dietary preferences. The kitchen is set up to accommodate Halaal, Vegan and diabetic needs.

Be pampered in our wellness centre where trained personnel will get rid of all the stresses and strains of modern day life.
