For many travellers, Kasane marks the beginning of an unforgettable journey. It is where safari vehicles depart before sunrise in search of lions and elephants, where boats float quietly along the Chobe River, and where Botswana’s remarkable wilderness begins to unfold. The name of the Resort is no coincidence. Mowana is the Setswana name for the iconic baobab tree, and at the heart of the hotel stands a huge Baobab tree estimated to be more than 100 years old. The tree at the entrance of the resort, is demonstrative of how much of Cresta Mowana Resort draws a lot of its character from the landscape that surrounds it. Guests get a real sense of place from the moment they arrive. It is also where the world seems to meet. One step into the foyer during the peak tourism season and the international appeal of northern Botswana is unmistakable. Conversations in Mandarin, French, German and English mingle as guests prepare for game drives or return from a day exploring one of Africa’s richest wildlife destinations. Yet while Cresta Mowana welcomes visitors across the globe, it is equally enjoyed by local and regional travellers who continue to return for its unique blend of Chobe’s natural beauty, warm hospitality and unforgettable experiences “We welcome visitors from all over the world,” says Robert Kabuzu, General Manager of Cresta Mowana Safari Resort & Spa. “From international travellers discovering Botswana for the first time, to local and regional visitors returning to create new memories” With 109 rooms, the resort regularly welcomes a full house, reflecting its reputation as one of Botswana’s leading Safari destinations
Of River Facing Rooms and Comfort The Chobe River is central to the way the resort has been designed. A treat for each guest, is that every one of its rooms has views of the river. Whether watching the sun rise across the water at dawn or the warm glow of golden hour sunset; guests are always close to these landscapes. The standard rooms are spacious, bright and have all the comforts expected of a top safari resort. Large, comfortable beds, generous bathrooms and spacious walk-in showers create inviting spaces to relax after a day spent exploring Chobe National Park. Guests seeking additional space will appreciate the Executive Suites, which provide large living areas ideal for families or longer stays, while maintaining the same connection to the surrounding landscape. “We wanted the interiors to reflect the environment around us,” Kabuzu explains of the interior design of the rooms.
