Nestled on the edge of a leadwood and fig tree forest, overlooking the vast Khwai River floodplains and beyond into the Moremi Wildlife Reserve, sits the luxurious Belmond Khwai River Lodge by Belmond (ex Orient-Express).

Khwai is renowned for its large concentrations of mammals and it is not unusual to see many different types of wildlife from the comfort of your own private deck.

As a year round destination for wildlife, predators can regularly be seen in the area, rated as one of the most prolific in Botswana for viewing wildlife. The exceptional location of Khwai makes it a regular host to Elephant, Buffalo, Lion, Leopard, Cheetah and Wild Dogs.

Birdlife can also be viewed in abundance with exceptional sightings of wildfowl and raptors near the lodge.

At Belmond Khwai River Lodge, you are close to Africa’s heartbeat and at the centre of the world that has not altered since life began. You can sense this from the moment you arrive.
