Kwetsani Camp
Kwetsani is located in the private Jao reserve. From its vantage point on an island heavily wooded with palm, mangosteen, and fig trees, the camp overlooks one of the Delta's most spectacular floodplains. The water levels around the island change each year, depending on the magnitude of the annual floods from central Africa and are at their highest from April or May to September each year. The 250,000-acre concession is comprised of a superb variety of habitats, which include permanent waterways and lagoons, open flood plains, and thick Kalahari soils; mostly it is noted for its predators as having the highest concentration of lion in Botswana. Hippo, sitatunga antelope and crocodile reside in the deeper permanent lily-filled lagoons of the area. Lion, leopard, wild dog, cheetah, tsessebe and lechwe are among the major game attractions at Kwetsani. Nocturnal animals such as porcupine, aardwolf, serval, genet and bushbaby can be observed on the night drives (water levels permitting.)
Kwetsani offers superb land and water activities, with much of the focus depending on 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. Day game drives are a highlight, enabling guests to experience varied and diverse game viewing. You have excellent chances of spotting predators during the day as well as on night drives.
Kwetsani Camp is a small, intimate ten-bedded luxury camp and is raised on wooden decks above the lush ground vegetation. The five spacious and lavish "tree house" chalets are built under thatched roofs and have canvas and pole walls. The sides are open and airy with screens and bamboo shades and there are many unique and special touches everywhere such as lights made from animal horns and ostrich eggs. There are his and hers hand-made ceramic sinks with brass fixtures and an outdoor shower. In addition, each tent has its own furnished balcony where you can sit and enjoy the superb views of the surrounding plains.
