Day 1-2

Welcome to the Khwai Concession

Welcome to the Khwai Concession

The Khwai Concession is on the eastern edge of the Okavango Delta, sitting pretty between two of Botswana’s more well-known national parks, Moremi Nature Reserve and Chobe National Park. Your pick-up from the guest’s respective hotels in Maun will be at 9 am to set off on our Khwai adventure in hopes of getting there by noon. You will take time to explore the park as your guide explains the different vegetation and its role in the ecosystem. You will break off for a light lunch at one of the watering holes to enjoy the herds of animals that will be coming down to quench their thirst. After lunch, you will continue to make some rounds in search of some animals, as you make your way to your campsite in Khwai on the edge of Moremi Game Reserve late afternoon. Upon arrival at the camp, you will be welcomed into your home for the next 2 nights with a drink and then be ushered to your various tents to freshen up.

You'll continue your expedition in Savuti through flat plains and watering holes then make your way back to Mababe.
