Okavango Delta
Kwetsani
Kwetsani Camp is in the private Jao Reserve, an area of 60,000 hectares to the west of Moremi Game Reserve, in the Okavango Delta, Botswana. The camp offers an idyllic setting on a tree island heavily wooded with palm, mangosteen and fig trees.
Kwetsani Camp offers an intimate safari experience with only five lavish ‘tree house’ chalets each with an en-suite bathroom. The rooms have an open, airy feel and superb views of the surrounding plains. The main lodge is on raised decking under thatch with open vistas over an enormous floodplain that is often dotted with lechwe and wildebeest. Kwetsani also has a swimming pool for cooling off in the heat of the day.
Kwetsani Camp offers excellent land and water activities dependant on water levels from the annual flood. Guests are able to view wildlife on game drives in open 4×4 vehicles and mokoro excursions.
Facilities
‘Tree house’ chalets each with an en-suite bathroom and open-air showers. Swimming pool, dining room, bar and lounge.
Local Wildlife
The lodge provides a fine balance of both wet and dry land species with good numbers of the semi-aquatic red lechwe and sitatunga antelopes. In the dry season, you can see elephant, wildebeest and zebra together with lion, cheetah and leopard. Nocturnal animals like porcupine, aardwolf, serval, large spotted genet and lesser bush baby can be observed on night drives. Many bird species are resident, such as large concentrations of wattled crane as well as slaty egret, rosy-throated longclaw and African skimmer.
Optional Activities
Game drives, night drives, walking safaris and mokoro excursions included on a shared basis.

The huge rooms here have delightful balconies overlooking the floodplain which is often filled with game. Take some time to sit out here with a good book (and cold drink). You never know what might pass by.

It is long overdue, but we want to thank you for meticulously organising exceptional wildlife adventures for us for the last 26 years.
That right, 26 years! Our first trip was to Madagascar for our honeymoon in 1999. I fondly recall Alan saying, “ it isn’t a typical honeymoon destination”. You have come to know us well over the years and you know we don’t want “typical”, we want exceptional wildlife adventures.
Thank you, Reef & Rainforest, for being our agent of choice for over 26 years and for consistently recommending and organising incredible tailor-made wildlife experiences which exceed expectations.
We are passionate about wildlife and photography, whether that is on land or snorkelling happily in pristine reefs. We have been fortunate to visit some wonderful places organised by you, including Madagascar, Costa Rica, Peru, Chile, India, Africa, and Indonesia, often returning to discover new and exciting places. Each trip has exceeded expectations. This is attributable to your deep local knowledge, meticulous planning, relentless attentiveness to our wishes and generous time spent discussing the trips. You have often delighted and surprised us with personal touches such as organising a surprise birthday cake.
We just returned from Botswana having thoroughly enjoyed the wildlife adventure by tented camp. It was exceptional in all respects, and we are delighted to see that you have quoted us on your website. Apologies that we have failed dismally to acknowledge your efforts to date. We will share some pictures when we have edited them !!!
We are looking forward to Belize at Christmas and Misool in February next year.
Thank you, Reef and Rainforest.
