Kwetsani Camp

  Kwetsani Camp is in the centre of the Jao Concession in the Okavango Delta. Kwetsani is on an elongated island covered with fig, palm and mangosteen trees. There are amazing views of the waterways from the raised dining room, lounge and bar areas. There is a plunge pool and loungers for a mid-afternoon dip. A camp fire is lit to relax around in the evenings. Kwetsani camp is an intimate camp, with five tree house chalets raised up to six metres off the ground. Each chalet is designed out of thatch, glass, wood and canvas and beautifully decorated. Each chalet has en-suite facilities and outside shower, private viewing deck, ceiling fans and mosquito nets. Enjoy a sleep-out at the hide and truly immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of an African night at a raised hide located about 40 minutes from camp, the hide has a bush toilet.

 A variety of habitats ensures diverse and interesting game viewing. The wildlife depends largely on the water levels in the area. The lagoons are home to Hippo and Crocodile and the permanent waterways and floodplains attract large numbers of waterfowl. In the permanent waters, Sitatunga can be tracked silently by mokoro.

The largest concentrations of endangered Wattled Crane are found in this area. The birdlife is simply stunning: Slaty Egrets, Pink-throated Longclaws and African Skimmers are some of the specials that can be seen. 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).
