Location:
 |
Kwai River Lodge is one of
the oldest Botswana Safari lodges. It is located eight km. northwest
of the north gate of the Moremi Wildlife Reserve.
The camp is set
under a canopy of aged indigenous leadwood and fig trees, overlooking
the Kwai River Floodplain. Hippo, Elephant and other big game animals
can be seen from the lodge and grounds. Bird watching is excellent. At
Khwai River Lodge, you are close to Africa's heartbeat and at the
center of a world that has not altered since life began.
You can sense this from the
moment you arrive. Bush hats and desert boots, tall tales and long
drinks, a past redolent of trophies and potent sundowners. Upon
entering our Khwai River Lodge, you immediately sense its big game
heritage. For decades, as befits one of the most established game
lodges in Botswana, it has hosted guests from all over the world on
the safari trail. |

Activities / Game Drives:
 |
The Khwai River is part of
the Okavango Delta's system. But the lodge lies at the point where the
river narrows to a stream and disappears into the sand and here you
find Moremi, one of Africa's most majestic game reserves. Moremi roars
with Botswana's largest, grandest, fastest, sleekest and most
beautiful game.
Waterbuck, crocodile and hippo abound. Vast herds of
antelope and zebra graze contentedly on the coarse grass. And where the antelope feed, the
predators are not too far off: lion, leopard and cheetah, hyena and wild
dog.
Morning and afternoon game drives or guided walks, after dark
spotlight game drives, bird watching, - game - flights on request. |
