About this place
Khwai Tented Camp is located within the Khwai community concession on the north eastern border of the Moremi Game Reserve. Simple and romantic, this is an authentic African experience and the camp blends seamlessly into the stunning setting, with minimal impact on the environment. Khwai Tented Camp has been recently relocated to a semi-permanent site within this community-run concession on the eastern border of the Moremi Game Reserve. The new exclusive location of Khwai Tented Camp, on the banks of a lagoon flowing into the Khwai River, is the ideal spot to take in the extensive views over the Khwai river, where you can observe hippos, baboons and countless birds (Tip #1: always keep your binoculars on hand!). And at Khwai Tented Camp, you are in for an exclusive experience: the groups are intentionally kept small during safari activities, and the guides really know their craft - seeking out the best viewing locations for you, keenly aware of every situations around them: it's as if they have an extra pair of eyes and ears. If you are planning to take home stunning photographs (and you probably are), the guides at Khwai Tented Camp are more than happy to position you in just the right spot for the perfect picture.
