Listen to the sounds of hippopotamus on an evening game drive along the river

Experience an evening game drive along the Khwai River to watch elephants and other wildlife in a natural river landscape.

The track runs north-east from North Gate along the Khwai. Although there are several lodges on the other side of the river, you’ll hardly notice them on your safari along the Khwai River. This route leads you through an area where leopard and lion are at home and where elephants frequently wander from the forest on one side of the track down to the river. In the river itself you can watch hippopotamus slowly emerging from the water to graze.

From the campsite at North Gate you don’t have to drive far to see these impressive animals in the river landscape. As you are on this bank within the Moremi Game Reserve, remember to return to camp in good time at sunset, as night drives are not permitted.
