Bordering the Moremi Game Reserve, the Khwai area is a community-run concession known for exceptional game viewing and a more flexible approach to safari activities.
Location & Vibe: Situated along the Khwai River, which acts as a magnet for wildlife. It offers a wild, authentic safari experience compared to the formal reserve.
Key Wildlife: Famous for high concentrations of predators—especially lion, leopard, and the endangered African wild dog. Large herds of elephant and buffalo are common.
Key Activities:
Night Game Drives: Spot nocturnal animals rarely seen during the day.
Guided Nature Walks: Explore the wilderness on foot with an armed guide.
Mokoro Excursions: A peaceful trip through the waterways in a dug-out canoe.
Why it’s Special: Its status as a community concession often allows for off-road driving and the after-dark activities that are typically prohibited inside national parks, leading to more dynamic and intense wildlife encounters.
