It’s not really fair to compare Ghoha Hills with the other camps I visited in Botswana, as it was much smarter and more expensive. But nonetheless it’s still my favorite!
As with all the Delta camps, the staff were very accommodating. The service was practically perfect and the management was top notch.
The lodge is built on a beautiful hill with lots of Baobab trees and amazing views of the Savanna bush below. The tents are all facing east on the hillside so we could see the sunrise. They all overlook a waterhole where animals come to drink regularly. All the rooms are made of canvas and have a private wooden deck. Once inside, you wouldn’t even say it was a tent. It has the complete feel of comfort.
What makes Ghoha hills so unique is that it is solar powered and self-sustaining and has a Gym and Spa in canvas tents which are also facing east so that you can see the sunrise and beautiful views of the Savanna.
The main public areas, fire-pit and rock pool are absolutely stunning. This was where you would find me in my free time during my stay at the lodge.
The lodge also offers game drives on the private road network, to the Savuti channel and the famous Savuti Marsh. The game drives can be tiring when you out there for a full day, but with the expertise, experience and knowledge of the guides, it was very rewarding. Whilst here we spent a long time tracking lions. Just as we were about to give up, the guide suggested we take a look among the trees as he thought that they may be sleeping in the shade. Was he right! We were ecstatic! The search was well rewarded.
