The lodge is situated on a private reserve on the banks of the Thamalakane River with an abundance of wildlife including giraffe, zebra, springbok, ostrich, eland, gemsbok and kudu as well as an extensive variety of bird life. Guests will indulge in comfort and rela

xation in one of Thamo Telele’s well appointed, private tented chalets or romantic thatched honeymoon suites. World class cuisine served by candlelight on the lodge’s expansive teak deck, is the perfect way to conclude a day’s safari. At Thamo Telele, it's not just about luxurious accommodation and old world hospitality. Marked walking trails invite guests to create their own adventure allowing safe, intimate interaction with wildlife.

The African barred owlet is about as cute as cute gets. They're always a delight to spot around camp.

The sweet scent of dry earth mingles with the flora around it as the horses kick up dust, at the end of a hot Botswana day.

Sweat glistens on horses and riders alike as the zebra and giraffe watch them pass from between trees.

As horses are untacked, drinks will be poured ready to refresh the riders.

Would you opt for a horseback safari or a game drive through our reserve?

Sink into the sofa, peruse the curio, pour a drink, or dive into one of our coffee table books. The main area's the ideal place for a bit of downtime.

This is a great place for kids with endless adventures to embark upon. The downtime is equally bonding though, as they discuss their explorations together before setting off on the next one.

World Giraffe Day is best spent here, at Thamo Telele. Giraffe conservation is at our very core, informing all that we do.

Our giraffe experience has helped many guests understand the plight of the giraffe, and we also support the Giraffe Conservation Foundation's taxonomic assessment of giraffe in Botswana.
