Kwetsani; Luxury Safari Camp in Okavango Delta, Botswana

Kwetsani Camp

It is located in a private reserve to the west of Mombo and the Moremi Game Reserve. The large elongated island is heavily wooded with palm, mangosteen and fig trees, and Kwetsani is one of the most remote camps in the entire Okavango Delta.

Kwetsani Camp – The Facts

Kwetsani Camp – The Detail

Kwetsani Camp is raised on stilts beneath the shady canopy, overlooking the expansive plains. All the Okavango Delta big game can be found here, and there are excellent chances of spotting the predators. Activities at Kwetsani Camp include mokoro-ing (a mokoro is a dug-out canoe), walking on palm-fringed islands, and game drives during the day and night. Lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog, buffalo, and elephant are all found in the Kwetsani area, as well as good concentrations of zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, and all the plains game. Owners Cathy and David Kays come from a family of nature lovers. Like all families raised in and around the Okavango, wildlife is in their blood, and they have spent most of their lives out in the bush. When they won the rights for the Jao Reserve in the tender process, they were determined to make this Botswana's finest reserve. They turned their backs on hunting, even though it is allowed in this reserve. They are only the second reserve in Botswana not to hunt, when hunting is allowed and have decided to focus all their efforts on developing Jao into a superb photographic reserve.

Kwetsani Camp - Our View

Kwetsani…..fantastic tree camp alert!!! With gorgeous rooms raised up into the trees and open air showers that face directly out over the floodplains this really is a stunning camp. The communal areas are spacious and private and the guiding and overall levels of service are what you come to expect from a top Wilderness Safaris lodge. The game in the area is also top draw. What really sets this camp apart is its character; seemingly intangible it is a concoction of 5 small and personal rooms that are exceptionally well run in a professional unobtrusive manner and a simply beautiful setting. We love Kwetsani and actually think it is the best camp in this whole concession!
