Botswana Khwai River and Moremi
We explore Botswana and visit the Khwai Rivier Area and Moremi Reserve in the Okavango Delta.
The Game Reserves are a lush animal habitat with hippos and crocodiles on waterways like the Xakanaxa Lagoon. On land, wildlife includes lions, leopards and rhinos.
It is not uncommon to have Wild dogs, Lions, Leopard, Hyena and Elephant roaming through the unfenced campsites.
Important to know:
This is an authentic bush camp experience, although there are ablutions at every camp. This truly 4x4 driving in deep sand and water maybe encountered. The tour is an absolute nature escape or wildlife adventure and is suitable for any bush-loving adventurer.
Additional fuel is needed for about 500km.
