Khwai Lediba is a stand-out Signature Experience located in the northeastern Okavango Delta. Nestled within the private Khwai Community Concession, the Experience borders the outstanding Moremi Game Reserve – the oldest protected section of the Okavango Delta. Unlike a National Park, the Moremi Game Reserve was founded by the BaTwana tribal authorities, making it the first wildlife sanctuary established by an African tribe on their ancestral land. It’s one of the most pristine reserves in Africa that is teeming with wildlife. At Khwai Lediba, take in magnificent landscapes and search for majestic wildlife on a timeless safari – elevated and exclusive.
Known as the heart of the Okavango Delta, the Moremi Game Reserve is an intricate landscape of pans, floodplains, lagoons, grasslands, acacia forests, savannahs, and mopane woodlands. Explore the wonders of the Reserve on remarkable game drives, walking safaris, and night drives through the concession. Glide through the tranquil waters of the Khwai River on traditional mokoro safaris, expertly guided by local polers, and revel in the exceptional birdlife that habituates in the river’s shallow waterways.
Khwai Lediba’s interior elegantly reflects the lush greens and rich golds of the surrounding landscape, blending it beautifully with nature. The design combines sophistication and African authenticity, providing a serene retreat to unwind after a day of safari adventures. Enjoy a refreshing dip in the swimming pool or bask in the sun on the spacious deck with sunbeds, all while taking in the unique sights and sounds of the Botswanan bush. The cozy lounge and reading area offer a peaceful escape, while the boutique shop features local crafts and unique gifts. End the day by the shared firepit, where you can relax under the stars and savor the warmth of the fire.
The lodge offers six luxury tented suites, one luxury family tented suite, and one luxury honeymoon tented suite – each with a private viewing deck for optimal views of the African bush. The family suite is thoughtfully designed with interconnecting bedrooms, offering a perfect balance of personal space and togetherness. All suites are elegantly furnished with king-size beds, mosquito netting, and include indoor and outdoor showers, along with a fully stocked mini bar. For a romantic getaway, our luxury honeymoon suite includes an outdoor bath, perfect for soaking under the stars while enjoying the soothing sounds of the African bush.
Khwai Lediba provides an escape to Africa on a classic safari; bespoke, refined, and luxurious.
Khwai Lediba was our first stop on our African adventure and it set the bar very high for the remainder of the trip. I travelled as single mom with my 11 yo son and could not have felt more taken care of. The staff was amazing, always smiling and genuinely friendly and helpful. Our guide was Phefo and he was simply amazing.
We enjoyed a four-night stay and it was outstanding. This was our first safari experience. Our guide Phefo picked us up from the airstrip and brought us to the camp, where the assembled staff sang to greet us (I am not sure if most safari camps do this or only those run by African Bush Camps, but it is charming). We had a beautiful tented cabin facing the Moremi Game Reserve and often saw wildlife from our deck.
Fantastic first Africa Bush Camps experience. Everybody working there was wonderful – we remember you all and hope to come back some day! Special shout out to (the best) host Mimi and guide Gilbert. Best tent of our trip, also. Not only did we experience so much amazing wildlife up close and personal but we learned so much. Thank you for teaching us and sharing your amazing area and country.
Our Authentic Botswana safari combines a stay at our Linyanti Expeditions and Khwai Lediba Signature Camp. You get the best of both worlds while being fully immersed in the beauty of the wild African bush.
Experience Botswana’s revered Okavango Delta as you merge luxury travel with authentic African experiences on this 9-day safari. Complementing our iconic safari activities, traditional Mokoro safaris offer an unparalleled way to experience the Okavango Delta. Spend 3 nights at Linyanti, 3 nights at Khwai Leadwood, and 3 nights at Atzaro Okavango.
This 6-night Emerald Season Botswana safari with African Bush Camps is an opportunity for an unforgettable experience. Emerald season is not only birthing season for many species of wildlife, but it also attracts flock of migratory birds.
The community of Khwai was without a pre-school school in the area. Primary school learners would attend boarding schools out of the village in Maun and surrounding communities. ABCF partnered with Khwai Private Reserve and Naledi Foundation to develop a pre-school in the area for learners.
The Vuche Vuche Basket Weaving Project aims to empower women from the local community through basket weaving. This initiative creates employment opportunities whilst displaying Botswana’s heritage and culture through beautiful crafts. Baskets are for sale at ABC trading posts, and guests can visit Vuche Vuche to learn basket weaving and experience traditional dances.
Women from communities in Botswana do not have access to the same career opportunities as safari guides, compared to their male counterparts. This career is still largely a male-dominated one, with little active investment, training, or skills development in female guides that would empower them to pursue their dreams and provide for their families. Linked to this dynamic, there is also a scarcity of job opportunities currently available for female guides in camps in the area.
