Camp Details
Khwai Leadwood is set in a prime location along the edge of the Moremi Game Reserve – the Okavango Delta’s oldest protected region. The Experience is enveloped under a canopy of trees right next to the Khwai River, which acts as a natural boundary between the renowned reserve and the exclusive concession. From your own private viewing deck, witness impressive wildlife encounters as elephants, hippos, and many other inhabitants traverse the river, offering a captivating backdrop for observation. At Khwai Leadwood, revel in an extraordinary family safari in one of the world‘s most extraordinary oases.

Can wildlife be watched from the tents themselves?
That is the point of the setting. The camp sits under a canopy of trees right beside the Khwai River, which forms the boundary with Moremi Game Reserve, and each suite has a private viewing deck. Elephants, hippos and other animals cross the river in front of camp through the day.
What is the range of accommodation?
There are five luxury tented suites, one family tented suite with interconnecting bedrooms, and one honeymoon suite with an outdoor bath. All have king-size beds under mosquito netting, indoor and outdoor showers, a stocked mini bar and a private deck, so families and couples are both catered for in a small camp.
Is there any water-based activity?
Yes. River guides take guests out in a dugout-style canoe made from fibreglass, drifting the rivers and tributaries at a slow pace that suits both wildlife watching and birding. Khwai is a haven for birds, green heron among them. Rates start from US$630 per person per night.
