Khwai Leadwood














Overview
Prime Okavango Delta delight
Located in the community-run Khwai Concession of the Okavango Delta, the intimate Khwai Leadwood by African Bush Camps is a chic camp set under the trees on the banks of the Khwai River. The famous Moremi Game Reserve borders the concession, and occasionally, guests are lucky enough to witness hippos, elephants, and even lions cross the river. You can expect a genuine safari experience with a welcoming atmosphere at Khwai Leadwood.
Guests can relish in game drives, walking safaris, and mokoro safaris during the day in search of some of Africa’s most famous animals, including lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, and wild dogs. This region also offers travelers the opportunity to go on night drives and get up close and personal with some of Africa’s nocturnal and more elusive wildlife.
Eco-friendly at its core, with no permanent structures and light-tented materials throughout, the camp places emphasis on the stunning environment rather than the luxury of the property. In keeping with the personal and exclusive wilderness experience, the camp’s stunning design includes six conventional tents and one family unit. Modern components combine woven baskets and beaded decor to produce an authentic African look. All rooms are spacious and pleasant, and the inviting main area has a pool and other cozy spaces for unwinding in between activities. Here, guests can live out their ultimate safari experience while enjoying both adventure and relaxation.

"As a travel journalist who’s stayed at hundreds of hotels and worked with countless guides, I can confidently say Ker & Downey® Africa stands out. From handpicking exceptional properties to being available before 8am on a Saturday, their attention to detail and high-touch service made my South African journey seamless.

"Thank you for the best honeymoon we could’ve imagined! We spent 5 nights on safari at luxury lodges, followed by 3 nights in Cape Town, and ended our journey on a stunning private nature reserve. Everything ran seamlessly, and the team stayed in touch with us throughout. Words can’t describe how incredible the experience was."
