Just three sites sit close to the famed baobabs, a wonderfully evocative site once the
day trippers go home. There are bucket showers and pit toilets.

Eight rooms done up in
a chic African-modern style curve in a crescent around an open plain; inside, smooth lin-
ens and indoor and outdoor showers do a good job of pushing the whole rustic-luxury
vibe. From a large, polished deck, observers can watch elephants, zebras and cheetahs
cross the grassland, or from the comfort of a pool, if you want to be really indulgent.

Getting There & Away
The entrance to the park is at Makolwane Gate, which is about 140km east of Maun and
60km west of Gweta. A 4WD is required to get around the national park.
Two tracks lead from the main track to Baines' Baobabs; when we visited, the longer,
northernmost of the two was much easier to traverse, but ask at the park gate.
