Belmond Khwai River Lodge
Facilities
Belmond Khwai River Lodge nestles on the edge of a Leadwood forest overlooking the vast floodplains of the Moremi Wildlife Reserve.
Belmond Khwai River Lodge is home to luxury tents on raised wooden platforms with traditional African thatch roof. Private decks with easy chairs and hammocks offering panoramic views of the vast wilderness.
Inside you’ll find a netted four-poster bed, an elegant bathroom, a stocked mini bar and discreet air conditioning.
Tucked away from the main tent there is a private suite which offers a more secluded, romantic experience. The large deck has a heated splash pool, an open-air bathroom, double showers and copper Victorian bath, outdoors and so close to nature.
