African Bush Camps is thrilled to announce that our newest camp, Khwai Leadwood Under Thatch, has found a home on a permanent site on Tsaro Concession, Khwai Community Area. Built on the banks of the Khwai River and nestled amongst a forest of sycamore and leadwood trees, Khwai Leadwood Under Thatch will consist of 4 standard and 2 family chalets. Guests will enjoy spacious and comfortable thatched accommodation and private en-suite bathrooms with views over the permanent water source and beyond into the Moremi Game Reserve.
The camp preserves the romance of yester-year, a simpler life in harmony with nature. From the sanctuary of a cool thatched interior and a veranda that overlooks the famed Moremi Game Reserve, one of the richest game viewing areas in Botswana, our guests are able to watch the magic of Africa unfold. The area offers varied ecosystems- from enchanted forests and undulating grasslands to lush floodplains and meandering lagoons- this is one of the most consistent areas for wildlife encounters year-round.
Khwai Tented Camp will remain on its current site for 2017, on the banks of a lagoon flowing into the Khwai river. The tents are being upgraded to a more modern and spacious Serengeti-style tent, with stylish and comfortable interiors and private bathrooms with running water and maintaining a genuine safari camp feel. The camp comprises of 6 elegant tents perched on wooden decking overlooking the tranquil waters of the lagoon. The camp exudes the charm and aura of the old Africa in a new era, and provides a truly authentic African safari experience.
Khwai Tented Camp and Khwai Leadwood Under Thatch are both part of the community-run Khwai Concession, a stone’s throw away from the North Gate of the iconic Moremi Game Reserve. Because the camps are situated outside the game reserve, we have the privilege of offering guests several unique ways to experience the splendor of the wild. Beside
