Khwai concession
Community-run wilderness on the Delta's edge.
About this place
Khwai is a community-managed concession bordering Moremi, where revenue goes to the Khwai village. The concession allows night drives and off-road tracking, which most government parks in Botswana do not. This makes it one of the best places in the country for nocturnal predators (leopard, hyena, civet, genet) and a flexible safari style.
What to do
Night game drives (rare in Botswana, only in concessions like Khwai)
Off-road predator tracking
Walking safaris
Mokoro safaris in the river's seasonal channels
Community visits to Khwai village
Practical information
