Khwai Leadwood Safari Camp in The Okavango Delta, Botswana
Khwai Leadwood Camp
Stay at this prime permanent tented camp in Botswana, just off the banks of the Khwai River
Set within the Okavango Delta's community-run Khwai Concession, this beautiful experience is tucked under the trees on the edge of the Khwai River. This river is all that separates the iconic Moremi Game Reserve and the concession, with hippos, elephants and even lions crossing over from time to time. Watching these animals manoeuvre through the water is an exceptional experience for even the most travelled safari veterans.
The elegantly designed experience hosts six luxury tented suites and one amazing family tented suite, keeping in line with the intimate and exclusive wilderness experience. The lodge effortlessly bridges the gap between luxury accommodation and feeling like you're in the great African outdoors. Woven baskets, beaded decor, and modern elements create an authentic yet contemporary African style.
During the day, guests can enjoy game drives, walking safaris and mokoro safaris (water levels permitting) in search of Africa's big attractions, including lion, cheetah, leopard, wild dog, elephant, buffalo, hippo and giraffe. An additional virtue of this area is that guests can head off on night drives and get up-close and personal experience with some of Africa's nocturnal and more elusive animals.
Khwai's biggest drawcard is undoubtedly the plentiful and extraordinary wildlife - you'll never be bored here! Adventure and relaxation are on offer as guests live out their ultimate safari experience - from setting off on a morning walking safari to enjoying a gin and tonic overlooking the beautiful Khwai River.
