Khwai Leadwood

Bordering the Moremi Game Reserve and situated on the edge of the Khwai River, Khwai Leadwood is ideally positioned for a safari in the Okavango Delta. The river is a natural draw for elephants, hippos and lions, offering remarkable wildlife encounters on the camp’s doorstep. Surrounded by a riverine forest and woven into its natural surroundings, the lodge is thoughtfully designed to make you feel immersed in nature without compromising on comfort.

Days here are filled with plentiful wildlife sightings and experiences, from traditional game drives to guided walking safaris and mokoro excursions (subject to water levels). Few places offer such a varied mix of day and night safaris, plus the chance to explore by water and on foot, with children of all ages warmly welcomed with tailored Ngwana Club activities. Cultural tours of Khwai village and seasonal birding excursions add an enriching layer to your stay. In addition, scenic helicopter flights (available from April to November) can be arranged upon request.

Stylish and intimate – the lodge features solar-powered tented suites with private viewing decks, king-size beds, indoor and outdoor showers. The warm, earthy décor reflects the spirit of the Delta. The honeymoon suite is equipped with a dreamy outdoor bath, while the family suite offers interconnecting rooms for convenience. Between safaris, unwind by the pool or enjoy a drink by the firepit under the stars. Just a 40-minute flight from Maun, a stay at Khwai Leadwood pairs beautifully with other iconic destinations, such as Victoria Falls or Cape Town.
