African Bush Camps Khwai Leadwood, Okavango Delta, Botswana

Why We Love African Bush Camps Khwai Leadwood

Khwai Leadwood benefits from year-round wildlife due to the permanent Khwai River system. Its position between the Delta’s waterways and Moremi’s grasslands delivers a diversity of habitats and excellent predator sightings. The community concession model also ensures that your stay directly supports local conservation and development initiatives.

Insider Tip: We highly recommend a scenic helicopter flight over the Okavango Delta. From the air, you truly appreciate the scale of this UNESCO-listed wilderness and its intricate network of channels and floodplains.

 FAQs African Bush Camps Khwai Leadwood

Where is Khwai Leadwood located?

Khwai Leadwood is located on the banks of the Khwai River within the community-run Khwai Concession in Botswana’s Okavango Delta. The concession borders the Moremi Game Reserve, placing the camp in one of the Delta’s most wildlife-rich regions.

What makes the Khwai Concession different from Moremi Game Reserve?

The Khwai Concession is a private, community-managed area, which allows for greater safari flexibility compared to the national park.

Guests can enjoy:

• Night drives
• Guided walking safaris
• Off-road tracking where appropriate
• Fewer vehicles at sightings

These activities are not permitted inside Moremi Game Reserve.

Is Khwai Leadwood good for year-round wildlife viewing?

Yes. The permanent Khwai River attracts wildlife throughout the year, even during the dry season. This makes the area particularly strong for:

• Elephant
• Buffalo
• Lion
• Leopard
• Wild dog
• Exceptional birdlife

The combination of riverine forest, floodplain and grassland habitats supports diverse species year-round.

Can I do mokoro trips at Khwai Leadwood?

Yes. Seasonal mokoro (dugout canoe) excursions are available when water levels allow. These peaceful water-based safaris offer a different perspective of the Delta’s channels and birdlife.

Is Khwai Leadwood suitable for families?

Yes. The camp offers a two-bedroom Family Suite, making it a strong option for families seeking a more intimate Delta safari experience.

Why consider a helicopter flight over the Okavango Delta?

A scenic helicopter flight reveals the vast scale and intricate waterways of the Okavango Delta. From above, you gain a unique perspective of wildlife movements, floodplains and the seasonal patterns that shape this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Could not ask for a better safari firm. No stone is left unturned and you always feel like you can get answers, day or night! This is my second time using Ubuntu and I highly recommend them.

Absolute 1st class travel planning. We had the most amazing and memorable trip, and as a person who likes to travel plan myself, this trip had so many moving parts there's no way I could have tackled it. I'd give Ubuntu an 11/10 rating if I could. They made our travel seamless, relaxed, and delivered the most incredible experience. 100% we will use them again.

What an incredible South Africa trip Ubuntu planned for my wife and I! Ubuntu set us up with full-day guided Peninsula and Winelands tours during our few days in Cape Town, followed by four days of Safari game drives at the Savanna Lodge within the Sabi Sands Nature Reserve. A huge thank you to Ubuntu for finding a perfect balance/mix of fun activities and relaxed downtime throughout out trip! Ubuntu took care of all the travel logistics once we got down to South Africa. Ubuntu set us up with our Guest Experience Liaison that would check-in with us ever couple of days and was available on call if we needed any sort of logistical support. We didn't end up needing to lean on our liaison since everything went so smoothly, but surely felt we had all the support we needed had something come up. We know we will be utilizing Ubuntu the next time we travel to Africa and highly recommend Ubuntu to anyone else planning a trip to Africa!

From the plains of the Serengeti to the shores of Zanzibar, Ubuntu Travel designed an unforgettable Tanzanian package to celebrate a milestone birthday. I was especially grateful that they embraced this solo traveler and ensured that every detail was planned out in advance, making this a trip of a lifetime.

Best vacation of our lives!! My husband and I booked with Ubuntu for an unforgettable vacation to Kenya, Tanzania, and Zanzibar this past June. The experience and support of Ubuntu was beyond our wildest dreams. We had first class, 5 star luxury service from start to finish. Jenna was absolutely amazing and was always a text, email or phone call away to answer our 100s of questions we had during the planning process. Owner's, Kyle and Leah were so kind as to even share links with my husband and I from some of their favorite stores so we could look safari chic. The care and support we were given during this entire vacation were top tier. The vacation itself was so personal, intimate and beautiful. The accommodations were breathtaking. Every lodge and camp left us speechless other than uttering the word, WOW, over and over. The service and staff at the lodges and camps were first class and luxurious. I didn't know a tented camp could be so fancy. I could have never dreamed of having a hot shower in the middle of the Serengeti with fresh French pressed African coffee brought to our tent every morning, or a 3 course breakfast with fresh fruit smoothies in the Masai Mara. We felt connected and so safe throughout our 3 week journey. The safaris were breathtaking and educational. You cannot describe how incredible this vacation is, you have to experience it and Ubuntu gave us a vacation of a lifetime. I cannot recommend Ubuntu enough to anyone looking to book a luxury African vacation. They did the hard work for us all the way down to sending us our beautifully embroidered Ubuntu duffle bag. Great customer service, great company, great people!

We loved working with Ubuntu. From start to finish they were easy to work with. They really listened to what we wanted and planned the perfect trip. Their support in getting ready and throughout our trip was truly excellent (they really took great care of us). We had a flight cancelled and they went all out to get us back on track so we did not miss a thing. Their planning, work and local partners on the ground really allowed us to relax and be present. We had the trip of a lifetime and would absolutely use them again. Highly recommend.

Wow! Ubuntu Travel planned the most amazing trip to Uganda for me. I cannot say enough good things about the meticulous planning they provided. Not only were they superb in planning, they also checked in while I was on my trip. The lodges I stayed at were spectacular, my guide seemed hand picked just for me and the scenery was beautiful and the food was 5 star quality. It was the most amazing trip of a lifetime. I am hoping to go back to Uganda someday. I definitely am going back to Africa and there is no doubt that I will be using Ubuntu Travel to plan my trip! I cannot imagine ever using anyone but Ubuntu for travel to Africa.

Ubuntu planned our honeymoon to Tanzania recently and it was the greatest trip of our lives--and it's not even close. From start to finish, everything was taken care of. Ubuntu plans the type of trip where you don't even have to think--travel stress is off the table. After a brief call to discuss options, we had an itinerary sent to us with the perfect combination of safari and beach. If you've come across Ubuntu, you're done searching. Just do it. At the end of our trip, my wife and I agreed: "If this is the best trip we ever take for the rest of our lives, we're okay with that."
