Nestled on the edge of a leadwood and fig tree forest, overlooking the vast Khwai River floodplains and beyond into the Moremi Wildlife Reserve, sits the luxurious Khwai River Lodge.

Khwai is renowned for its large concentrations of mammals and it is not unusual to see many different types of wildlife from the comfort of your own private deck.

As a year round destination for wildlife, predators can regularly be seen in the area, rated as one of the most prolific in Botswana for viewing wildlife.

The exceptional location of Khwai makes it’s a regular host to Elephant, Buffalo, Lion, Leopard, Cheetah and Wild Dogs.

Birdlife can also be viewed in abundance with exceptional sightings of wildfowl and raptors near the lodge.
 
This is the perfect location for observing the perennial drama of the African bushveld and provides excellent birding.

At Khwai River Lodge, you are close to Africa's heartbeat and at the centre of a world that has not altered since life began.

You can sense this from the moment you arrive. Bush hats and desert boots, tall tales and long drinks, a past redolent of trophies and potent sundowners


Upon entering our Khwai River Lodge, you immediately sense its big game heritage.

For decades, as befits one of the most established game lodges in Botswana, it has hosted guests from all over the world on the safari trail.

Moremi Reserve is situated at the heart of the Okavango Delta and was the first wildlife area to be set aside by tribal people rather than colonial powers.

I Although the Moremi reserve is the only statutorily protected part of the Okavango Delta, it is surrounded by a buffer zone of land, which is carefully controlled in terms of wildlife management.

The reserve itself is also unfenced therefore allowing free movement of animals within the Delta according to seasonal migrations.

Moremi now extends east and northwards to join Chobe National Park, ensuring a continuous area of protected land all the way to Kasane.

Khwai River Lodge is perfectly designed to blend into the surrounding environment. All luxury tents are housed on raised wooden platforms, offering great views, and shaded by a traditional African thatch roof.  The large private decks are furnished with easy chairs and a hammock, ideal for viewing wildlife, or for enjoying a private dinner in complete privacy. The tent interiors are luxuriously appointed with such comforts as an en suite bathroom, private fully stocked mini bar, four poster bed complete with mosquito netting, as well as a discreet air conditioning.

For your convenience, in-rooms safes are now proveded for the safekeeping of all cash, travel documents and other such articles.
