Khwai River Lodge
Moremi Okavango Delta

Khwai River Lodge is a well-run and very substantial luxury safari lodge in a picturesque area. The game densities here are usually high, especially toward the later parts of the dry season. The 14 canvas rooms are really far too opulent to be called tents. All are built on high timber platforms, facing the river valley. Because these are spread out in a line, each a distance from the next, the camp stretches for over a kilometre in length and the furthest tents are a significant walk from the central lounge. Each large platform has a wide veranda at the front, with safari chairs overlooking the river.

At the back of the tent are a toilet and a large (two-person) shower, each behind a wooden door. The lodge's build-quality is very high, and clearly no expense has been spared – though there seems to have been little attempt to blend the lodge into the surrounding area.

The central area at Khwai River Lodge is slightly raised on a timber platform and topped by an enormous thatched roof. It includes a lounge with a fireplace and a bar. You will also find chess sets, a TV with a library of wildlife videos, comfortable couches and a small library. Next to this is a dining area with wooden tables, adjacent to a wide area of decking overlooking the narrow, shallow river valley.

There is a big swimming pool built into the decking where you can overlook the plains. Next to the main complex, an adjoining raised observation deck with thatched roof shelters a small telescope; it's a good spot for game viewing or perhaps the occasional intimate private dinner.

Khwai River Lodge also has a small gym and spa facility, and a private library with internet access – available for any guest to use.

Activities:
Activities at Khwai Lodge focus on two game drives per day. The morning drive usually commences after a light breakfast, and returns in the late morning for a substantial brunch. The afternoon drive commences after afternoon tea, and aims to leave the park as it closes, at sunset.
