STAY AT THIS PRIME LOCATION IN BOTSWANA, JUST OFF THE BANKS OF THE KHWAI RIVER
Set within the Okavango Delta’s community-run Khwai Concession, this beautiful camp is tucked under the trees on the edge of the Khwai River. This river is all that separates the iconic Moremi Game Reserve and the concession, with hippos, elephants and even lions crossing over from time to time. Watching these animals manoeuvre through the water is an exceptional experience for even the most travelled safari veterans.
The elegantly designed camp hosts six standard tents and one family unit, keeping in line with the intimate and exclusive wilderness experience. The new camp effortlessly bridges the gap between luxury accommodation and feeling like you’re in the great African outdoors. Woven baskets and beaded décor, along with modern elements, create an authentic contemporary African style.
During the day, guests can enjoy game drives, walking safaris and mokoro safaris (water levels permitting) on the search for Africa’s big attractions including lion, cheetah, leopard, wild dog, elephant, buffalo, hippo and giraffe. An additional virtue of this area is that guests can head off on night drives and get an up-close and personal experience with some of Africa’s nocturnal and more elusive animals.
Khwai’s biggest drawcard is undoubtedly the plentiful and extraordinary wildlife – you’ll never be bored here! Adventure and relaxation are on offer as guests live out their ultimate safari experience – from setting off on a morning walking safari to enjoying a gin and tonic overlooking the Khwai River.

3 months agoWe loved our time at Khwai Leadwood. The staff was very welcoming, patient, and knowledgeable. Our room was well designed and way cleaner than our room at home! Food was great as well. Had hippos and impala right off the deck! Gake was our host and it felt like she looked after us like we were her friends/family. Her and the rest of the staff took amazing care of us. Custard was our guide. We always felt safe under his lead and we learned so much from him. He was always clear about our plans for the drive, but he was very flexible based on what nature shared with us each trip. - David and Isa

4 months agoAn outstanding place, people and wildlife. The ethos of the camp is that you’re welcomed home and you genuinely feel welcomed, safe and amongst caring family. Nothing is too much trouble. The guides find the most extraordinary animals views & sights. It’ll be hard to say goodbye.

7 months agoKhwai Leadwood Safari Lodge is an absolute gem! The staff is incredibly welcoming, the accommodations are luxurious yet blend seamlessly with nature, and the safari experience is unforgettable. Wildlife sightings were spectacular, and every moment felt magical. A true paradise in Botswana! Big kudos to Edison and his entire crew!

a year agoEverything about this lodge was amazing!! The rooms, service, food, and game drives were all wonderful!! The location was breathtaking, right on the edge of the river. There were hippos and elephants 20 yards away from our rooms! I'd like to give a special shout out to Chief and Mati (our guides), Miss T, Helga, Dipsy, ET, and the rest of the staff there. They were all so great and really enhanced our experience. Thank you so much!!

2 years agoI cannot say enough about my experience at khwai leadwood. From the moment you arrive you are met with the beautiful, caring staff singing and welcoming you.. Your every need is swiftly met while there. The camp is gorgeous and the property stunning. The food absolutely amazing, I stayed at 3 luxury camps and this was my favorite by far. The people I met were fantastic, as a solo traveler, this was a plus, we all enjoyed each other and our time together. Our rangers Chief and Sharon were so awesome, I already miss them. They were a wealth of knowledge and took such great care of us. The beds amazing, major plus, and I loved that being a luxury tented camp, it enabled you to hear the animals at night. If you are heading to Botswana, make this your camp, you will be happy you did.
