Hyena Pan (Okavango Delta)

Hyena Pan is in the Khwai Private Reserve, which borders Moremi Game Reserve, the Khwai River, and Chobe National Park. It is in one of Botswana’s best game viewing areas in the larger Okavango Delta. It’s also something of a hidden gem and visitor access is restricted to a small handful of guests. Hyena Pan itself overlooks a natural water pan that comes alive with wildlife. Hippos splash below your private deck and elephant are never far from the pool. Making for exhilarating siesta swims! Sofas and armchairs are all perfectly positioned for the best views across the landscape. Not far from camp is a sunken photography hide. Offering a rather different perspective of the surroundings.

Activities

Year-Round Activities:
Morning and afternoon game drives plus spotlit night drives.
Underground hide offers spectacular photographic opportunities.
Sleep out under the stars at Skybeds on elevated platforms in the middle of Big 5 territory! Open from 1st April until 31st October.

Best time to visit

Hyena Pan is open from 1st April until 9th January every year. There is a constant supply of water in the lagoon and the game viewing is excellent.

In Botswana, winter brings a scorching desert sun and the seasonal waterholes evaporate. Whilst smaller ones dry up completely. At Hyena Pan, the water remains. And animals flock to the last droplets of water. There’s drama aplenty between predators and the unlucky prey. June, July, and August are traditionally the best times for game viewing in Botswana. But don’t rule out September and October either. And regardless of when you go; we’d recommend at least three nights, to discover everything you need to. And have one night at Skybeds.
