Overview

Situated in the heart of the Moremi Game Reserve on the edge of the Okavango Delta in the captivating Khwai Concession, Khwai Leadwood takes its name from the majestic bushveld trees under which it has been created. 

Wildlife and safari lovers will be in their element in this camp, merging with the surrounding environment of river, floodplains, trees and open plains. The main drawcard, of course, is the wildlife and the landscapes, and Leadwood Safari Camp leads you into the delta on mokoro to be at one with the animals and plants that survive in this pristine region.

The camp sits right on the river and is designed to be a modern, streamlined version of a classic traditional safari camp from days of yore. 

Families get their own tent while 6 other roomy designer tents provide luxury glamping outfits for guests who desire the best of both worlds – a roughing-it type of holiday on safari, but much pleasure and comfort in the living spaces! 

Safaris happen all day – in 4×4 vehicles, on foot, in mokoros and by boat – with the aim to be at peace with the environment and to notice all that goes on in the natural world. Stay at Khwai Leadwood Camp and leave here full of new knowledge about the importance of biodiversity conservation in the Okavango Delta.
