Reserve Information

The Khwai Private Game Reserve is a slice of unspoiled African wilderness. Its majestic riverine forests, open plains and seasonal floodplains are home to an abundance of wild game, including lion, leopard, elephant and buffalo.

The Khwai is located next to the Okavango Delta and the Moremi Game Reserve, two of Africa's biggest wildlife sanctuaries.

The Khwai River winds through the private concession area, creating lagoons that are havens for hippos and crocodiles. The river banks are lined with lush vegetation – from palm trees to fever trees – which in turn support a vibrant bird population.
