Khwai Leadwood is in a private community-run concession on the eastern border of Moremi Game Reserve. The Khwai River itself forms a boundary between the Reserve and the community area. The River is also a unique water source in the area, thus a great year-round attraction for wildlife.
Accommodation at Leadwood is in 6 standard tents and one family unit. This allows the Camp to keep in line with an intimate and exclusive experience. The tents are spacious and modern, with comfortable beds and private en-suite bathrooms, complete with flushing toilets and hot-water bucket showers. All tents are are set on extensive raised wooden decks, and set under shady trees, with views of the lagoon. The camp enjoys a different habitat from the western section of Moremi Game Reserve, as there are substantial Leadwood and Mopane woodlands in close proximity to open grasslands and the Khwai River, making for a diverse area to explore. The Camp’s main area houses a lounge, dining area, viewing deck and bar. These are all under canvas, but designed to allow for plenty of private space, and comfort. As you are in a private concession there is the added excitement of being able to enjoy night drives and walking activities (which are not permitted in the National Parks). Exploring after dark with a spotlights gives you the chance to get to know the night-life, especially as a number of species are nocturnally active. There is the added opportunity to explore the surrounding wilderness on foot and enjoy a close encounter with flora and fauna. You also get to explore on the morning and afternoon game drives, which include trips into the Moremi Game Reserve itself. Mokoro trips can be organised by prior arrangement (but may be seasonally available). Wildlife to be seen includes lion, cheetah, leopard, wild dog, as well as a good number of other species including elephant, buffalo, zebra, hippo and giraffe. Walking excursions are not available to anyone under the age of 16. |
