The flagship · Near Lobatse
Luxury beyond the ordinary. Nature beyond expectation.
The lodge
Luxury accommodation,
a true bush-camp feel.
Seventeen kilometres past Lobatse, on the road toward Ramatlabama, Manong is the flagship of the collection — forty units in the Botswana wilderness, sleeping more than ninety-two guests sharing, each furnished for a warm and inviting stay. It is a lodge in the proper sense: the bush at the door, the sky doing most of the decorating, and a team that takes your stay personally.
Days here are shaped around you — a drive at first light, a treatment at the spa, a long afternoon by the water, and dinner out under the stars. Nothing is hurried, and nothing is standardised.
“Peace and tranquillity awaits you.”

Accommodation
Forty units, six ways to stay.
From a standard room for two to a private house of your own — every unit is furnished to feel warm and inviting, and there are several options for bed configuration.
A warm, inviting room with a queen bed for two adults. Furnished to feel like home in the bush — thatched ceilings, stone floors and natural light through the windows.
Sleeps two adults and two children in a queen bed and sleeper couch. Comes with its own kitchen, lounge and a back door of your own — room to settle in and stay a while.
A king bed for two adults that can split into twins on request. Space and comfort in equal measure, furnished with the same warm, natural finishes throughout.
Sleeps two adults and two children in a queen bed and sleeper couch. Each tent has its own kitchen, an outside braai area and outside dining — the bush, brought to your door.
Sleeps four adults in a queen bed and two single beds. Room for the whole family to spread out, furnished with the same warm and inviting touch as every unit at Manong.
Sleeps four adults and two children in a queen bed and two single beds. An open-plan kitchen, indoor fireplace, dining room, closed patio, private entrance and lockable garage — a house of your own in the bush.
A separate brochure for the house is available on request — for those interested, ask and we will send it across.

Activities
As much, or as little, as you like.
Fill the day from first light to the fire pit, or do nothing at all — both are done properly here.
Day visits
Come for the day, stay until the light goes.
A room for the night isn’t needed to spend a day with us. Come out in the morning and let the lodge settle around you — a game drive while the reserve is waking, a bush walk, an hour in the spa, or the pool and the quiet. Tell us who’s coming and what you would like the day to look like, and we will have it ready.
