Khwai Guest House
Khwai Guest House welcomes guests in five en-suite bungalows situated in the friendly rural village of Khwai, situated right by the Moremi Game Reserve. The guest house provides a cosy base from which to experience this small community, set amongst one of the most spectacular wilderness locations in Botswana. The rooms provide comfy beds, rustic wooden features and charming original decor. They all feature attached bathrooms with open-air showers.
The lodge is located within the Khwai Community Concession which is owned and managed by the local Khwai village. Not only does this provide employment at the lodge but the community also directly benefits from the concession fees paid by each visitor. Their love for the area and its wildlife is infectious and the wildlife viewing here is some of the best in the Delta. Activities include game drives in Moremi Game Reserve or the Khwai Concession, traditional dugout canoe (mokoro) excursions, night drives and cultural tours of the Khwai community.

Our best safari to date – exhilarating, luxurious, unforgettable.
We’re seasoned wildlife travellers, and the Letaka tented safari in Botswana exceeded all expectations. The experience offered exceptional access to nature, with wildlife roaming freely and unphased through camp – lions, wild dogs, honey badgers, and hyenas all made memorable appearances. Slightly scary, but utterly exhilarating.
Our guide was outstanding – deeply knowledgeable about wildlife, birds, plants, and geology, with expert tracking skills that consistently led us to the best sightings. They positioned the vehicle perfectly for photography, respected the animals’ space, and made us feel safe and cared for throughout. The camp staff were a formidable team, attentive and respectful, with thoughtful touches like hot water bottles in bed and inventive meals despite the challenges of cooking in the bush. The tented setup was surprisingly luxurious and deeply comfortable.
Game viewing was phenomenal: wild dogs, lions, cheetahs, leopards, bat-eared foxes, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and a spectacular murmuration of queleas at sunset. We even explored the majestic Baobab trees in Mababe reserve – an unforgettable moment. Thank you to the entire team for a truly exceptional safari. We’re already planning our next trip.
