Set on a palm-fringed island in the Okavango Delta’s Jao Reserve, Kwetsani is an intimate, treehouse-style camp raised among mangosteen and fig, with direct access to the Delta’s waters and open floodplains.

Here, wildlife is thriving, from elephants, hippos and crocodiles to plains game such as zebras, giraffes, and wildebeest – with predators hot on their tails. Exploring the lush surroundings on land and water, you might board a traditional mokoro canoe or boat, or go on a thrilling day trip to Hunda Island, complete with a scenic picnic in the wilderness.

At the lodge, you’ll find 5 romantic tented suites created with canvas, wood, and glass. Allowing for a natural indoor-outdoor flow, each suite comes with a lounge, outdoor shower, and private deck boasting sweeping views. Privacy and seclusion are guaranteed, with elevated boardwalks connecting the suites to an open-sided main area featuring a comfortable lounge and corner bar. A spacious deck presents a brilliant vantage point for wildlife spotting, while the pool offers reprieve from the midday heat.

Wholesome, freshly prepared meals made with locally grown ingredients are enjoyed at the communal dining table overlooking the floodplains. Another walkway leads to the camp’s boma, the perfect gathering point for wildlife tales over drinks, as well as weekly firelit dinners under a sparkling night sky.
