Lubbesrust Boutique Lodge

Overview

Driven by a shared passion for conservation and authentic safari adventures, we founded Lubbesrust Boutique Safari Lodge on a remote corner of Botswana’s Tuli Block. What began as a dream—to create a hideaway where luxury meets the raw beauty of Africa—quickly became a mission.
Today, Lubbesrust stands as a testament to sustainable hospitality. Our lodge runs entirely off‑grid, harnessing solar power and drawing from its own pristine waterwhole.
Every element, from handcrafted furnishings to farm‑to‑table meals, reflects our commitment to the land and its wildlife.
But our true pride lies in our conservation partnerships. Together with dedicated anti‑poaching teams, we lead guests on intimate rhino walks, offering a rare chance to connect with these majestic creatures while supporting their protection. On guided drives, we track elusive wild dogs, brown hyenas, elephants, and lions—creating memories that last a lifetime.

comfort of the game vehicle, whilst getting up close and personal with some incredible animals along
the way. A few hours into the drive, your guide may find a beautiful sundowner spot where you will
disembark and enjoy snacks and your favourite drinks.
Please note sundowner stops are all dependent on the game viewing available and weather
conditions. Your guide sometimes makes the decision to pursue sightings instead of stopping. You are
always more than welcome however, to ask your guide if you would specifically like to stop.
After sundowners, your guide will begin winding his way back to the lodge. You will be greeted with a
drink and the friendly Lubbesrust staff: enjoy the bush TV at the boma before dinner.
A 3-course dinner is served at 19h30.

yours and you are free to spend it as you like. You can laze around the sun deck just watching the
