Khwai River Lodge

Welcome to one of the oldest and dearest safari lodges in Botswana promising first-class Moremi Game Reserve accommodation where you are guaranteed the ultimate safari experience in the beautiful scenery. For some of the best game viewing in Botswana, head to this historic lodge, now a modern rendition of its old self thanks to many renovations. 

Khwai River Lodge has one of the best settings in the Okavango Delta for prime game viewing opportunities thanks to its stunning spot on the River Khwai where wildlife moves constantly. Sit quietly on your thatched private suite veranda and watch the passing parade of animals and birds between morning and afternoon game drives – sometimes adventuring into a private concession to drive off road at night and find elusive leopards prowling.

Many faithful visitors to Khwai River Lodge miss the old original lodge in terms of its character and vibe but the new tented suites provide plenty of elegance for 30 guests as they stretch out along the river banks. Appreciate vast beds with river views, private decks with hammocks, tasteful furniture, upmarket ensuite bathrooms with showers and one private suite even features a heated plunge pool and an alfresco Victorian bathtub! 

This is the kind of Okavango Delta accommodation you will never forget, the main focus being you and the wildlife, the magical wilderness setting and finding peace within. Relax in the amazing guest areas with the large swimming pool, beauty spa, gym and eating areas. Sit on the vast open deck and game watch all day as predators, elephants and other charismatic animals graze nearby.
