The life style at Sedia Riverside Hotel can be al fresco, with breakfast taken in the garden, while lunch and dinner may be enjoyed under mulberry trees on the poolside deck or inside the restaurant.
But where to eat and drink is a matter of mood and appetite, coolly casual or a bit smarter perhaps with light Euro - African cuisine, ideally suited to the climate. This is is provided for you either by buffet or a la carte and taken in any areas of the garden, pool deck or candle-lit air conditioned restaurant, embraced by the moody African decor.
The executive chefs and their team are always prepared to tempt you to an array of gourmet delights par excellence.
From the late eighties, our neighbour South Africa has invested heavily in vineyard replanting, new cellars and new know-how.
The result--superb wines.
The affordable Cape Pinotage, a uniquely South African red and others, not forgetting the Chardonnays from the Cape wine area, are all appropriate companions for good food.
We always have a reasonable selection available with prices far from the top end of the price scale.
The guest rooms, all en suite, have been cheerfully decorated with an individualistic African theme each with its own private veranda overlooking the lawns.
The rooms provide contemporary facilities and fittings including air conditioning and satellite television.
Furnished to a good standard of comfort with all modern facilities including air conditioning and satellite television.
The chalets offer the guests the best of two worlds, the privacy of apartment style accommodation with the use of all the amenities and services of the hotel.
Sedia Riverside Hotel’s safari partner, Afro Trek will be delighted to take you on a day trip, an afternoon bird watching or a mobile safari further a field. Our experienced guides can take you deep into the National Parks and reserves of Botswana for a safari of a lifetime.
Sundowners under Baines Baobabs are well deserved after a day seeking out the big cats I the wilds of Nxai Pan. As the animal migrations ebb north south with the seasonal rains, the wildlife can be plentiful in this seemingly desolate park.
Moving on to the ancient Deception Valley in the Kalahari desert wilderness, many landscapes will pass the window of your vehicle as your guide points out springbok, maybe giraffes or a horned adder.
Or take a day trip to the famous Moremi Game Reserve, where the elephant’s mopane woodland is punctuated by the swamps and pans of crocodiles and wattled cranes. A picnic lunch under an immense leadwood tree on the edge of a floodplain provides time to reflect on nature and some of her players.
You can also take a mokoro trail for one to three or more days, bush camping along the Boro River system. Early morning and late afternoon game walks together with mokoro trips along nearby channels encountering a variety of mammals and birds indigenous to the area are the highlight of bush camping.
