| 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.
The Okavango Delta is a phenomenal place where a thousand kilometers of river are absorbed
into the sands of the Kalahari. Khwai River Lodge is set on the edge of the flood plains
in the Moremi Wildlife Reserve where, from the luxury of your private air-conditioned
tent, you can survey the spectacle of the Big Five whilst enjoying an indulgent
aromatherapy massage. For greater excitement, you can take to a guided walk or an open 4x4
vehicle to explore the surrounding area.
