Kwetsani Camp
Facilities
Kwetsani offers the perfect Okavango ‘combination’ experience. Its extremely remote location gives access to both water and dry land areas, allowing guests to see all aspects of the Delta’s makeup. Unique "tree house" style tents provide exceptional views from their elevated positions, looking out over floodplains dotted with game.
The five tents combine with the cool thatched main area to form a self-contained safari world – a fusion of creature comforts and incredible wildlife moments. Access to Hunda Island for game drives, plus water activities in search of species rarely encountered elsewhere, contribute to Kwetsani’s comprehensive activity offering.
INSIDER'S TIP: Lie back on the loungers at the pool on a sunny afternoon while looking out for wildlife and “Delta Specials” or enjoy sightings from the comfort of your private room.

Activities
Morning and afternoon game drives are offered in open 4×4 vehicles, each accommodating a maximum of seven people, allowing each guest a ‘window’ seat. In times of high water levels, guests are transferred by boat to game drive areas.
Night drives with spotlights allow you to find those nocturnal animals you wouldn’t see during normal daytime drives. Porcupine, aardwolf, serval, large spotted genet and lesser bushbaby are just some of these.
There is no better way of viewing the Delta and its wildlife than by traditional mokoro (dugout canoe), often revealing the smaller critters of the Okavango Delta and fascinating waterbirds of the region. In summer, guests are driven to the waters edge for this activity.
Boating is another idyllic form or water wildlife viewing often yielding fabulous sightings of hippo and crocodile and maybe even the elusive sitatunga.
Try your hand at seasonal fishing on a catch and release basis. The camp has a limited supply of basic equipment for your use. * Note that fishing is seasonal as it is prohibited by Botswana law in January and February due to breeding purposes.
The Jao Reserve has outstanding birding opportunities. With water and land activities, opportunities to grow your list are excellent. Wattled cranes, slaty egrets, rosy-throated longclaws, Pel’s fishing-owls and African skimmers are some of the ‘specials,’ while more common coppery-tailed coucals and pygmy goose are also seen.
