Camp Khwai

Camp Khwai

Khwai Conession

Experience the ultimate Botswana safari adventure at this beautifully tented camp located in the heart of the Khwai River floodplain, positioned facing a picture-perfect bend of the river. The camp boasts six deluxe tents and a spacious two-room family tent, all positioned to provide breathtaking views of the surrounding wildlife and the area’s natural beauty. At any time, there will be no more than 16 guests staying at the lodge.

The thatched main area serves as the central gathering place for guests, offering comfortable seating and dining areas to relax and indulge in delicious meals while enjoying the stunning views and wildlife sightings.

As the camp is located within a concession area, the camp offers an array of activities to ensure that a stay is unforgettable. Enjoy thrilling game drives and walking safaris, where you can spot majestic wildlife in their natural habitat, and even go on night-time game drives, to witness the animals in an all-together different state of activity. For a tranquil experience, explore the Khwai River on a mokoro trip and witness the peacefulness of the side channels and meandering waterways.

The location provides easy access to the Moremi Game Reserve, where you can observe the Big Five and other incredible wildlife. Take a tour of the nearby village to learn about the local culture and customs, or embark on an exciting night drive to see nocturnal animals in action.

Nsefu Camp

South Luangwa National Park

This experience can only be compined with staying in either Nsefu or Tena Tena Camps.  First of all, what is “bush camping”? …walking with the best of guides, dipping deeper into the bush from the fixed camps by camping out for a night, dinner and stories around the fire, simple but delicious food…  This is simple camping but with that extra touch of comfort. There are stand up tents, mattresses on the ground, sheets and blankets, a wash basin, a shared 60L bucket shower, a bush loo, a full bar and food service, fully serviced camp (except laundry). The walking is in one of the most lagoon rich areas of the Luangwa and hence the game is superb. When staying at Tena Tena and Nsefu you can walk between the two for two or three days, camping on the way.

Luangwa River Camp sits nestled under an ebony grove on the banks of the Luangwa River, Zambia in a game-rich area. The South Luangwa National Park marks the end of the Great Rift Valley, one of the last remaining unspoilt wilderness areas and possibly the finest wildlife sanctuary in Africa. It is through this that the great meandering Luangwa River runs, with its ox bow lagoons, riverine-supported woodlands and large plains, all of which play host to huge concentrations of game including elephant, buffalo, leopard, lion, giraffe, hippo and over 450 species of birds. Luangwa River Camp sits nestled under an ancient ebony grove on the banks of the Luangwa River overlooking an area known as the Luangwa Wafwa, which is extremely popular with wildlife. This small and intimate camp with just five bush suites, along with its setting and location creates a real “wow” factor and a romantic feeling simply flows through the camp. Activities include game drives, walking safaris, seasonal boating and village tours. All meals and local drinks are included in the nightly price.

How our Tent Ratings work

​

These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.​

​

It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world. 

To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.

Budget-focused stopover property, sometimes it’s the ideal location on a driving itinerary.
