Khwai is a stunning wildlife area located in northern Botswana, on the edge of the Okavango Delta. This region is known for its incredible biodiversity and offers a quintessential African safari experience. The Khwai River, which flows through the area, serves as a lifeline for the abundant wildlife, attracting elephants, hippos, leopards, lions, and a variety of antelope species. The diverse habitats, including open grasslands, mopane woodlands, and riverine forests, create a rich environment that supports a wide range of flora and fauna. Khwai is also a prime destination for birdwatchers, with over 450 species recorded in the area.
Khwai is unique in that it offers both land and water-based safari experiences, providing visitors with the opportunity to explore the region in a variety of ways. Traditional game drives offer close encounters with the Big Five and other wildlife, while mokoro (dugout canoe) excursions on the waterways of the Khwai River provide a peaceful and intimate way to observe the area's natural beauty.
