About Woodlands Stop Over and Lodge
Woodlands Stop Over and Lodge is situated on the site of the Hunters' Road and overlooks the Tati River, 10 km north of Francistown on the Nata, Maun and Kasane A3 route. It is an ideal stopover (or destination) to break the long journey for those exploring the northern territories of Botswana and for those wanting to be safely off the roads before dark.
There are grassed Campsites with their own braai area as well as bush campsites. Water and electrical points are on the lawned sites.
Cosy, basic camp Chalets with beds & linen only- no self-catering equipment available in these except a kettle. These units make use of the central open ablution facility.
Perhaps you would prefer to relax in our luxurious Woodlands Cottage or one of our fully equipped Riverview Rooms. Both these options are fully set up for all the needs of the traveller.
Make use of the lovely sparkling swimming pool to refresh you after a long journey. Also available for your convenience are pre-cooked frozen meals, braai packs, wood, ice, refreshments and other basic food commodities. Breakfast packs are available for early travellers on request.
A large variety of Botswana bird species can be viewed. Experience the call of the migrant woodlands kingfisher who nests here annually arriving in November and departing again in April. Animals which are frequently sighted or heard are kudu, impala, bush buck, duiker, steenbok, jackal and monkeys. Lovely walks along the river bank. The Selolwe Ruins,a National Monument, are within walking distance.
Wedding Venues: Romantic exclusive small wedding! Viewing Deck overlooking the romantic Tati River for the ceremony or the dry river bed in winter. Hosting 30 people. Beautiful gardens and secluded spots for photos. Marquee for the celebration. Outside catering.
Family friendly: Introduce the children to birding and fishing. Lovely bird walks and trails through the property and river beds. A delightful dam that hosts fish for catch & release. Sparkling swimming pool for the hot summer months. The dreaded WIFI available!
Romantic: Sunrise walks along the marked bird walk and trail and then relaxing sundowners watching breath taking sunsets on our new Viewing Deck, of course after the quiet stroll along a magical river bed! It's beautiful!
