Amazing and exhilarating! We had a fantastic time at Khwai Leadwood. The setting was beautiful, the staff were excellent, and Chief our guide impressed us with his expertise. We saw every animal we hoped for, plus many more including stunning African birds.
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.
Discover Botswana’s Okavango Delta on this exclusive 9-night safari. A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the largest inland deltas in the world, the Okavango Delta is globally revered for its beauty and biodiversity. Explore its labyrinthine waterways on mokoro safaris and discover its animals via vehicle and foot as the Delta’s rich wildlife and tranquil beauty offer an unforgettable safari experience.
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.
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.
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.

Winner 2023
This was truly a 5+ star bucket list experience. We were treated with the utmost respect, generosity and kindness by every staff member. We appreciated the understated luxury, attention to detail, magnificent lodge decor, the on-the-Zambezi River setting, the phenomenal food, guides, trip to the epic Vic Falls and optional activities...
Julia K, March 2024Managing 23 travelers from California, Maine, Massachusetts, and Montana was difficult. Finding a camp in the Okavango was also difficult. Fortunately, I made contact with Vanessa Stanley, and she was able to assist in finding two camps that were proximal to each other, thus allowing a group of 23 to have meals and free time together and still be at a bush camp. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
