A day of floating in a dugout mokoro canoe through Okavango splendour is coming to an end. As the sun sinks crimson to the horizon, your thoughts turn to relaxing with companions or meeting new people at your hotel, the Sedia.

Only 7km from the trendy village of Maun, the door to the Delta, the Sedia stands like an oasis in the Kalahari sand. From its cool lobby an archway leads to the pool terrace, graced by swimsuited guests from Africa and the world over. The setting says, right upfront, enjoy yourself!

At the Sedia, internationals mingle with local Batswana people. The Sedia is born of Botswana and operated by congenial people who understand that you want to experience Africa at its most real: wild and natural, with its own ambience, music, food and hospitality. Whether you are a nature lover, in Maun to enjoy the Delta and explore Chobe; or a businessperson here to help the development of this very special place, the Sedia welcomes you.

Wherever you come from, the Sedia can be all that you need or want. There is gracious dining, indoors or out, two bars, and 20 en-suite rooms plus two full suites; or camping on the river floodplain with campsite facilities that include probably the best shower block in the southern hemisphere.

There is a full service conference centre that will allow those at your meeting to be comfortable, at work and at play. For your email communication and web-crawling needs, log on at our Internet Cafe. The Sedia booking office offers a range of game flights, mekoro trails and other tours to suit all budgets and tastes.

At poolside, a bird sanctuary surrounds you - feeding stations attract colourful starlings, hornbills and rollers to entertain as they flit through the flowering gardens of bougainvillea, poinsettia and other blooms.

And did we mention the volleyball courts with seating for spectators? Or the pool tables? Or the marimba band? Or the local dance troupe, which is likely to show up to do their thing for you? All this, and more, is the Sedia.....

WE WANT YOU TO COME INTO AFRICA WITH US.
