Khwai Tented Camp
**This camp opens in summer 2023. The tent images below are architect’s impressions**
Khwai Tented Camp is in the peaceful western sector of the Khwai community concession just outside the Moremi Game Reserve’s northern border. The camp overlooks the Khwai River and its floodplains. Children from seven years are welcome.
Accommodation & Facilities
The camp has seven modern safari tents, one of which suits a family, on raised decking, with en-suite bathrooms and 180-degree views of the bush. The camp is simple and contemporary in style and accommodates guests in great comfort. Meals are mostly eaten outside, although there is a spacious mess tent and a lounge. There is a sunken fire pit perfect for drinks before dinner and a pool in which to cool off in the heat of the day. Thanks to its small size Khwai Tented Camp is one of the most personal and intimate safari camps in Botswana.
Eating & Sleeping
The chefs are happy to prepare food that children enjoy at mealtimes to suit and will discuss children’s dietary preferences with parents on arrival. If there are any specific dietary requests, please advise prior to travel.
Babysitting is not available so parents need to be responsible for their children at all times.
Wildlife & Activities
Khwai Tented Camp is a great location from which to see elephant, buffalo, zebra, lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog, giraffe, eland, sable, hippo, hyena, and various other nocturnal species, on day and night wildlife drives as well as walking safaris. If water levels permit, guests can also enjoy gliding through the waterways in a mokoro (dug-out canoe). Visits to the local communities are also possible.
Specifically for children …
Children are welcomed into camp with a special Cub Club starter kit, which includes a book bag, a colouring book featuring the animals they are likely to see on safari and colouring pencils. Many of the activities on offer can be tailor-made for children including:
• Bush walks – learn how to identify spoor, track animals, the traditional uses of plants, bird watching and hunt for the ‘Little 5’.
• Story telling.
• Arts and crafts and beading.
