Only a three-minute drive from sister lodge, Sango Safari Camp, Khwai Guesthouse is an alternative to the more well-known safari-style lodges of the area. It’s paired back in design and price yet still offers the same incredible activities and wildlife experience of the Moremi Game Reserve.

It’s small and intimate consisting of only 6 bungalows and 2 family units with a fenced boundary inside the village, so its safe for kids of all ages. You won’t have wildlife strolling through camp, but that’s about the only difference between here and other camps just slightly further into the bush. Book it with or without the activities. If you prefer the latter, you can do the game drives on your own into the concession and reserve or book additional activities on arrival.

Easily accessible by fly-in and self-drive and, being in the heart of the Khwai village, you will have a chance to experience the traditional lifestyle of the local community and the spectacular wilderness of the Khwai Concession and the Moremi Game Reserve. Located on the north-eastern border of the reserve and only a few minutes drive to the gate, you’re really well located to explore the best of both worlds. Few other places in these parts afford you the same luxury. You can even head off on a game drive into the concession at night. By yourself. Yes, it’s that good.

The atmosphere is friendly, the food hearty and the wildlife experience in these parts, top-notch. Some might say this is some of the best game viewing in the Okavango Delta and they wouldn’t be wrong. It’s a comfortable stay at a fraction of the surrounding “upmarket” safari lodge rates but offers you the best opportunities for wildlife encounters and a real “African” safari.
