Nata Lodge
Makgadikgadi Pans
Nata Lodge is surrounded by the incredibly vast salt pans and grassy plains of the Makgadikgadi. The lodge is a stunning oasis that has palm islands scattered around it. Nata sanctuary is an important breeding ground for a diverse variety of water birds that includes Pelicans and Flamingo in their thousands. These birds transform the shore line into a pink haze that blends with the horizon.
The tree canopy that surrounds the lodge can be a very busy place. There is a bird feeding area providing avid bird watchers with the opportunity of viewing a variety of species from the comfort of either the pool deck, open bar or restaurant. Some of the birds that can be seen include Helmeted Guineafowl, Crested Francolin, Yellow Hornbill, Pied and Arrowmarked Babblers, Glossy Starling, Meyers Parrot and Paradise Whydah. The lodge conducts pan drives in 4×4 game vehicles.
