Discover Luxury in the Wild in the Moremi Game Reserve 

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.  

Activities

Embark on phenomenal game drives, night drives, and walking safaris to witness wildlife that is plentiful and remarkable.  Glide through the serene waters of the Khwai River on traditional mokoro safaris, expertly guided by local polers, and marvel at the vibrant birdlife that flourishes in the river’s shallows. At Khwai Leadwood, we warmly welcome families and invite younger guests to enjoy our Ngwana Club, where they can delight in tailored safari activities designed for their entertainment and safety. 

Design

The Experience is adorned in colors and accents that reflect the authentic spirit of Botswana, merging with the warm earthy tones and vibrant greens of the Okavango region. Recline on plush sunbeds by the swimming pool in peaceful, inviting surroundings, where you can fully relax and soak in the sweeping views of the river. Take pleasure in the welcoming lounge, dining area, and reading nook, all designed with comfort and serenity in mind. End your evening by the firepit, where you can relax under the starlit sky and savor the warmth of the fire.

    Omg, that is the only thing I can say. Everyone was wonderful, from the home office in Cape Town, to the Camp. #1 in everything.

Our Foundation Projects

icon
Khwai Pre-School

Khwai village has a population of approximately 400 BaBukakhwe (River Bushmen), the majority of which are from low-income households. The service delivery in this community is limited and faces challenges accessing education, health facilities and water and electricity connections.

icon
Female Guides Training

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.

Basket Weaving Project

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.
