Operated by Khwai Mokoro Safaris and Campsites · Khwai Community Concession, North-West District
You arrive from Maun as late afternoon light thins, the Khwai floodplain turning to a wide sheet of mirrored grass and shadow. Guides unload dome tents and a camp assistant lays out a mattress while distant hippo calls puncture the hush — the bush moves around you with a patient, deliberate rhythm.
This stretch sits on the edge of the Okavango ecosystem and the Khwai Community Concession, an area shaped by seasonal floods and ancient river channels. Geology here is slow: silt and grasses rearrange each rainy season, carving new shallow channels that mokoros trace. Culturally the concession is community-run, with local trackers and guides who read spoor like a page and share knowledge passed down through generations.
Expect choices rather than a fixed itinerary: a 2–3 hour mokoro glide through Sable Alley, a guided nature walk to inspect tracks and edible plants, or an open-vehicle game drive into the concession where elephants and lions roam. Nights are simple and comfortable in dome tents with bedding provided; meals served at the campsite are fuel for early starts.
Practical guidance: pack layers — mornings can be cool and midday hot — and bring a small daypack for water, camera, and insect repellent. Binoculars and a good camera lens reward patience; keep voice volume low and follow your guide’s distance rules around wildlife. Transfers from Maun are included; bring photocopies of travel documents and confirm pickup times. The trip is low-impact but remember: leave no trace, respect community spaces, and carry reusable water bottles to reduce plastic waste.
Round-trip transfers from Maun to Khwai Mokoro Safaris and Campsites are included—confirm your pickup location and time when booking.
Infants must sit on an adult’s lap; the experience is family-friendly but supervise children during activities around water and wildlife.
The Khwai concession hosts elephants, lions, buffalo and a rich bird community; sightings are common but never guaranteed—seasonality affects visibility.
Khwai is in a malaria-risk area; consult your doctor before travel and use insect repellent and treated nets as recommended.
Khwai Mokoro Safaris and Campsites operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
