Attention to detail is the theme here and keeps guests coming back for more. The river is the central focus of a camp built to enhance a luxurious experience in nature – watch wild animals crossing and drinking at the river, including lions, elephants, buffalos and hippos. Plenty of antelope and birds to watch all day too. Gather on the neat, polished decks for drinks before dinners around the fire – tuning in to the flowing river, the expanses of lush floodplains and trees, and the large termite mound a feature of the camp too. 

Fancy tented roofs provide shade and cover from the elements in a design that blends into the horizon and makes guests feel at ease with all the sun and natural light that comes in from dawn until dusk. Be part of this amazing environment and feel privileged to be here! Voyage2Africa organises combo safaris into Botswana to take in several Okavango Delta Camps on one tour.

Overview

Situated in the heart of the Moremi Game Reserve on the edge of the Okavango Delta in the captivating Khwai Concession, Khwai Leadwood Camp 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 Khwai Leadwood 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. A large termite mound forms a natural sculpture beside the main artistically constructed polished decks with their endless and inspirational views into the Okavango and Moremi. 

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! Woven baskets, beaded accessories and tasteful décor all remind the visitor that this is Botswana and a very real raw part of the African continent. 

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. Forget all your troubles when you stay at Khwai Leadwood Camp and leave here full of new knowledge about the importance of biodiversity conservation.

Comfortable beds hiding in elegant mosquito nets, private ensuite bathrooms with baths and showers, lovely decks and plenty of modern seating and lighting plus all the woven and natural designer décor. Join fellow guests at the central deck and comfy lounge to game-watch and share stories, then tuck into nouvelle bush cuisine a la Khwai! 

Game rangers come from the communities who run this concession and are committed to conservation so your arrival here is an immediate contribution to the ongoing success of the community and the reserve.
