Kwetsani Camp—Okavango

Kwetsani Island is a long, elongated island surrounded by enormous open plains. It is locared in the 60,000 hectare private Jao Reserve to the west of Mombo and the Moremi Game Reserve. The island is heavily wooded with palm, mangosteen and fig trees. The water levels around the island change each year, depending on the magnitude of the annual floods from central Africa. The water levels are at their highest from April or May to September each year. Kwetsani Camp is a small, intimate, ten-bedded luxury camp and is raised on wooden decks above the lush vegetation.

The five spacious and lavish “tree-house” chalets are under thatched roofs and have canvas and wood walls. En-suite facilities under thatch include include a shower, flush toilet and basin, with an additional outdoor shower. The rooms have an open, airy feel about them, with a superb view of the surrounding plains. The dining room, lounge and pub area is situated under cool thatch. Kwetsani offers excellent land and water activities- with much of the focus depending on the the water levels from the region’s annual flood. In addition to stalking game by mokoro, you will also be able to enjoy exploring palm-fringed islands on foot. Game drives are a highlight, enabling guests to experience varied and diverse game viewing.

Hippo and Crocodile reside in the deeper permanent lagoons of the area. Lion, Leopard Cheetah, Zebra, Tsessebe, and Lechwe are among the major game attraction. Nocturnal animals such as Porcupine, Aardwolf. Serval Genet, and Bushbaby can be observed on the night drives (water levels permitting).
