Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Pandamatenga?
The best area to stay in Pandamatenga is within one of the lodges or camps situated near the Pandamatenga Border Post, as this offers the most convenient access to both Botswana and Zimbabwe's wildlife areas.

These accommodations are typically set in expansive private concessions or directly bordering national parks, providing an immediate connection to the natural surroundings. They often feature individual tented suites or chalets, a central dining area, and sometimes a swimming pool, all designed to blend with the environment. Most lodges are located a short drive from the main A33 road, offering a secluded yet accessible base.

For visitors primarily interested in wildlife viewing, staying at one of these lodges is ideal. They offer guided game drives into the surrounding wilderness, often including trips into Chobe National Park or the nearby forest reserves. The focus is entirely on the natural world, with opportunities to see various animals and birds right from your accommodation or on organised excursions.

Couples looking for a tranquil and exclusive safari experience will find these lodges particularly appealing. The remote settings, personalised service, and focus on nature create a romantic and memorable escape.
When is the best time to go to Pandamatenga?
The best time to visit Pandamatenga is during the dry season, which runs from May to October.

This period offers excellent wildlife viewing opportunities due to the scarcity of water. Animals congregate around the remaining water sources, making them easier to spot. The weather is generally pleasant, with clear skies and cooler temperatures, especially in the mornings and evenings. This time of year is ideal for those planning safari activities, as the dry conditions mean roads are more accessible.

Another good time to visit is during the shoulder months of April and November. While these months see a transition in weather, they can offer a good balance. April still has some residual greenery from the rainy season, and November marks the start of the summer rains, bringing with it new life and often dramatic skies.
