The area
The Khwai River creates a natural wildlife corridor along Moremi’s northern edge. Water, woodland and open grassland sit close together, making Khwai especially rewarding for varied activities and predator viewing.
A strong year-round destination. Dry months concentrate wildlife near water; the green season rewards birders and photographers.
The wildlife
Elephant, buffalo, giraffe and antelope gather along the river, while lion, leopard, wild dog and hyena move through the corridor. Nocturnal species add another dimension after sunset.
