Day 1-4: Khwai Tented Camp, Khwai Community Area

Khwai Community Area

The Khwai area of the Okavango lies along the northern boundary of the Moremi Game Reserve. This is an unfenced

boundary allowing wildlife to move freely between the woodlands in the wet season when water is plentiful and back

to permanent rivers and lagoons in the dry season. The Khwai area offers the same wildlife experience as the reserve

with the added advantage of being a private concession which means the ability to do walking safaris and night drives.

Overnight: Khwai Tented Camp View iBrochure

Khwai Tented Camp located on a beautiful site within this community-run concession on the eastern border of the Moremi Game reserve, on the banks of a lagoon flowing into the Khwai river, acts as a boundary between the reserve and the community area, offering visitors staying here several unique ways to experience Africa.

Khwai Tented Camp has recently been refurbished. The tents have been upgraded to a more modern and spacious Serengeti-style tent, with stylish and comfortable interiors and private bathrooms with running water, but still maintaining a genuine safari camp feel. The camp comprises of 6 elegant tents perched on wooden decking overlooking the tranquil waters of the lagoon. The camp exudes the charm and aura of the old Africa in a new era, and provides a truly authentic African safari experience.

Besides the day-time drives which can feature Africa’s big attractions – lion, cheetah, leopard, wild dog, elephant, buffalo, hippo and giraffe – guests at Khwai Tented Camp are able to explore nature after sunset with a night drive. This activity, along with the guided walking safaris, is not usually permitted in the National Parks or Game reserves and allows guests to get an up-close and personal experience with some of Africa’s nocturnal and/or more elusive animals. The camp also provides the opportunity to explore the great stands of leadwood and mopane woodlands as well as open grasslands and banks of the Khwai river on foot.

Falls, Thorntree River Lodge is being completely rebuilt with an environmentally-conscious design. Drawing inspiration

its own indoor and outdoor bathrooms, as well as a luxurious private plunge pool. The main lodge consists of a lounge

with an open dining area, where the fine dining experience of African cuisine will come to life. A gym and spa overlook

the mighty Zambezi River, and there is a small library with WIFI for our guests’ convenience. The communal deck is set

on the edge of the stunning riverside, and is home to a sunken boma area and an infinity pool. Wooden decking floats

on the edge of the river, and moves with the water level to create the illusion of sailing a boat, and help to achieve a

seamless feel between river and land.
