Ecotourism company, Ker & Downey Botswana, is to expand its product offering with the addition of Grays Eden, a new luxury boutique hotel currently under construction and slated to open on July 15.

Located in the safari hub of Maun, the gateway to the Okavango Delta and Ker & Downey Botswana’s renowned network of luxury tented camps, Grays Eden will feature five villas and seven cottages. The rooms boast spacious verandas and airy living spaces, ensuring a comfortable stay year-round, with ceiling fans and fireplaces.

Facilities at Grays Eden include The Eden Kitchen, serving freshly prepared dishes using Botswana’s locally grown produce, and The Wine Cave, showcasing a passion for wines with private dining and tastings. Guests can relax at The Bar or enjoy quiet spots around the property for late-night lounging.

Offsite activities include private tours to the Elephant Havens rehabilitation project, boat cruises, and helicopter excursions. Owner, Sandrine Fecheyr Lippens envisages Grays Eden filling the gap for quality town-based accommodations in Botswana, offering a unique and tranquil experience for visitors to Maun and the gateway to the Okavango Delta.

Situated a mere 10-minute drive from Maun Airport, Grays Eden offers a complimentary shuttle service to and from the hotel.

This addition to Ker & Downey Botswana’s portfolio complements its existing safari camps and experiences, providing guests with a unique luxury boutique hotel option to enhance their safari itinerary. Ker & Downey Botswana has long been a pioneer in luxury safaris, with five camps strategically located across prime destinations in the Okavango Delta, Moremi Wildlife Reserve, and the central Kalahari.
