Khwai Community Concession
Khwai
A community concession along the Khwai River just outside Moremi's north gate, allowing night drives and off-road driving. It is a popular area for seeing leopards and wild dogs.
The Khwai Community Concession (NG18), along with the neighboring Kwara Private Concession (NG19), lies just outside Moremi's north gate and is managed by the Khwai village community. The flood plains and woodlands along the Khwai River have animal densities comparable to those in national parks. Elephants, hippos, leopards, lion prides, and African wild dogs are commonly seen. Unlike the national park, night drives, off-road tracking, and walking safaris are permitted here, and accommodation ranges from basic campsites to luxury tented camps. From Maun, the drive over sandy roads takes about 3–4 hours. You can also fly there by light aircraft to the Khwai River airstrip.
Opening hours
All day (night safaris require a camp guide)
