About The Khwai Luxury Tented Camp - the camp is the perfect blend and co-existence between man and nature, where you will experience the best of wildlife in Botswana's iconic Moremi Game Reserve combined with a taste of culture in the old village of Khwai. This is the old African safari experience, luxury semi-permanent tented camp Hemingway style that takes you back to experiencing Africa in a tent in a wilderness area. It is a combination of luxury camping and a permanent camp with the best wildlife highlights set in a community based wildlife resource area.

Cuisine : although the camp is very remote in the bush, we pride ourselves on genuine cuisine prepared in traditional bush-style with high quality, tasteful, fresh products. The day starts with early morning buffet breakfast, before the morning game drive, and will be followed by a brunch made of various fresh ingredients. Snacks and cakes are available through the day, sundowner drinks are offered either during game drives or in front of the campfire. A wide selection of drinks is available at the bar.

About the Moremi Game Reserve - Wildlife & Activities

The environment : Khwai is a private community run concession on the eastern border of the Moremi Game Reserve along the river Khwai. The magnificent Khwai River forms a boundary between the reserve and the community area, and is the hub for some of the most outstanding wildlife viewing both on the Moremi and in the Khwai area. The river is the sole source of water for miles around attracting wildlife from afar. The vegetation here is quite different from the Western section of Moremi where great stands of leadwood and mopane woodlands occur in close proximity to open grasslands and the Khwai River.

Wildlife : Wildlife encountered include lion, cheetah, leopard, wild dog, as well as a multitude of other animals, including elephant, buffalo, zebra, hippo and giraffe to name a few.

The Khwai Community: It is quite unusual for a camp to be so close to a village, and this village is home to river bushmen from the Bayei group, who carry out a naturally harmonious lifestyle. As Khwai concession is community run, all proceeds from tourism go directly to help local people and local projects through the Khwai Community Trust.

Activities : Game drives, guided walks and night drives, village visits to the Khwai Community, day trips to Moremi Game Reserve. This being a community CONCESSION (meaning privately owned), we will enjoy night drives as well as walking activities, which are not permitted in National Parks or Game Reservesin addition to the usual game drives. Exploring after dark with spotlights offers you an opportunity to experience some of the nocturnal animals that are rarely encountered during theday.

There is the added opportunity to explore the surrounding wilderness on foot and enjoy an up close personal encounter with the flora and fauna. Visitors are encouraged to walk through the village of Khwai, meet some of the elders, and learn how the people live alongside animals in close contact to nature.

Our guides are some of the most experienced naturalists and professional guides in Botswana
