Bordering the Okavango Delta, Khwai offers exceptional wildlife viewing, diverse landscapes and exclusive safari experiences in one of Botswana's most rewarding wilderness areas.
Bordering the eastern edge of the Okavango Delta, Khwai is a wildlife-rich concession where permanent rivers, open floodplains and mopane woodlands combine to create one of Botswana's most diverse safari destinations. Managed in partnership with the local community, it offers an authentic wilderness experience with a strong commitment to conservation.
The varied habitats attract an impressive concentration of wildlife throughout the year, with elephants, lions, leopards, African wild dogs and abundant plains game regularly encountered on expertly guided game drives. Seasonal floodwaters also attract exceptional birdlife, while the concession's private status allows activities not permitted in the neighbouring national parks.
Luxury tented camps blend seamlessly into the landscape, offering an intimate safari experience with outstanding guiding and warm Botswana hospitality. Whether exploring by vehicle, on foot or beneath spectacular night skies, Khwai captures the spirit of a classic African safari in an unspoilt and exclusive setting.
Moments of discovery often become the most memorable part of any journey, whether found through an exceptional hotel, a remarkable landscape or an experience that reveals a destination in a new light. The places that stay with us longest are those that create a genuine sense of connection.
Across islands, coastlines, mountains and vibrant cities, every destination offers its own character and rhythm. Some invite adventure, others encourage slower exploration, but the most rewarding journeys are often those that combine comfort, authenticity and a sense of place.
From luxury hotels and boutique retreats to safari experiences, rail journeys and small-ship voyages, our collection celebrates travel that feels considered, inspiring and memorable long after returning home.
Perched above the wildlife-rich Khwai River, Khwai Lediba blends intimate safari living with one of Botswana's finest game viewing locations on the edge of Moremi Game Reserve. Surrounded by leadwood and sycamore trees within the Khwai Community Concession, this small luxury camp enjoys an enviable position overlooking permanent water where wildlife gathers throughout the year. Its authentic atmosphere, warm hospitality and exceptional guiding make it an ideal choice for travellers seeking a classic Botswana safari with a strong sense of place. Accommodation Accommodation comprises five Luxury Tented Suites, a Honeymoon Suite and a spacious Family Suite, each thoughtfully positioned to maximise privacy and beautiful views across the Khwai River. Contemporary safari interiors combine natural timber, canvas and earthy tones with generous en-suite bathrooms featuring indoor and outdoor showers. Spacious private decks with day beds invite guests to relax while elephants, giraffe and other wildlife wander quietly through the surrounding bush. Dining Dining is relaxed and sociable, with freshly prepared cuisine served indoors or beneath the shade of towering trees overlooking the river. An open kitchen, welcoming lounge and stylish bar create a warm atmosphere where guests naturally gather between safari activities. Evenings often conclude around the traditional boma, sharing stories beneath Botswana's star-filled skies as the sounds of the African bush come alive after dark. Safari Experience The Khwai Concession is renowned for delivering exceptional wildlife throughout the year. Morning, afternoon and night game drives reveal lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, giraffe, wild dog, hyena and abundant plains game across a remarkable landscape of floodplains, woodland and permanent waterways. Guided walking safaris provide a slower, more immersive perspective on the bush, while traditional mokoro excursions glide silently through the Delta's channels when water levels allow. Together they create a wonderfully varied safari that showcases the diversity of this extraordinary ecosystem. Birdwatching is particularly rewarding during the green season, while scenic helicopter flights reveal the intricate waterways of the Okavango from above. Guests also have the opportunity to visit nearby Khwai Village, offering an insight into the local community and the conservation initiatives supported through the African Bush Camps Foundation. Wildlife & Seasons The permanent waters of the Khwai River ensure excellent wildlife viewing throughout the year. Dry season brings large concentrations of elephant and buffalo, while the green season transforms the landscape with migrant birds, newborn animals and superb predator activity. Wellness Between safari activities, guests can cool off in the swimming pool, relax on their private deck overlooking the river or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings as wildlife passes quietly through camp. Location Khwai Lediba occupies a beautiful riverside setting within Botswana's Khwai Community Concession, bordering Moremi Game Reserve. Combining outstanding wildlife, varied safari activities and an intimate camp atmosphere, it offers an exceptional introduction to the Okavango Delta.
