The Khwai area of the Okavango lies along the northern boundary of the Moremi Game Reserve. Khwai Community Area has unfenced boundaries allowing wildlife to move freely between the woodlands in the wet season when water is plentiful, and back to permanent rivers and lagoons in the dry season. The Khwai area offers the same wildlife experience as the Moremi Game Reserve, with the added advantage of being a private concession, which means the ability to do walking safaris and night drives.

Main Destination:
Khwai Concession (Okavango Delta)
Best Time To Visit May to October (Best wildlife viewing)
High Season July to October (Higher rates apply but it’s not busy)
Best Weather May to August (Less hot during the day)
