Khwai : tout pour préparer ton voyage
Khwai offers unique access to the wilderness, as it is easy to reach from Maun via a relatively good gravel road. However, you can only explore the area itself with a 4x4 vehicle. A particular highlight is that it is the only area in Botswana where self-drivers are allowed to do night drives, enabling exceptional wildlife sightings in a compact but species-rich area.
Pourquoi tu vas adorer cet endroit
Reach the wilderness on the Khwai River relatively easily from Maun – Khwai is much more accessible than many remote delta regions and still quickly brings you into a varied safari landscape of river channels, floodplains, mopane forests and open plains.
Look for elephants, leopards and wild dogs on the Khwai River – Around the Khwai River you have very good chances of intense wildlife sightings, because water, forests and open areas draw many animals into the region.
Enjoy a wild safari feel outside the national park – In the Khwai Community Concession you experience Botswana especially close to the wilderness – with bush campsites, exciting game drives and often fewer strict restrictions than in the national park.
L’essentiel en un coup d’œil
Special feature – Khwai combines the wildlife of the Okavango Delta with community-based tourism and freely accessible self-drive tracks.
Landscape – In this region you will find river channels, open grasslands, swampy plains, mopane forests and dense bush.
Atmosphere – Khwai feels wilder and more untouched than many classic safari areas, while at the same time you will regularly encounter other self-drivers and safari vehicles here.
Self-drivers – The region is well suited to self-drivers with a 4×4 vehicle.
Roads – Many tracks are sandy or deep sand and, depending on the season, lead through water or mud.
Water crossings – During peak flood between June and August some routes are flooded. A 4×4 with snorkel is recommended.
Rainy season – During the rainy season many tracks become muddy and quickly challenging for beginners.
Gate – Entry to Moremi Game Reserve is via North Gate.
Petrol stations – The nearest place to refuel is in Maun.
Supermarkets – It is best to do your shopping in Maun. There is a shop with basics in Khwai Village.
Veterinary fence – About 30 minutes north of Shorobe there is a veterinary fence. Meat may not be transported from the north towards Maun.
Campsites – Many campsites lie in the middle of nature without fences. Animals move freely through the camp.
Climate – The region is hot and changes significantly depending on water levels and season.
Mobile network & Internet – You usually only get reception in isolated spots or not at all.
