The Khwai Concession Area on the outskirts of the beautifully preserved Moremi Game Reserve, is one of Botswana`s best kept secrets.

 

Densely packed with wildlife and with an enormously varied ecosystem, the Khwai area has a patchwork of lagoons, shallow flooded pans, open grass plains and woodland forests.

 

The Khwai area is without a doubt one of the most scenic areas in Botswana.

​

The Khwai Concession is a 1800km area which is situated in the northeastern Okavango next to the Moremi Game Reserve. It was formed by the local Khwai villagers and is managed by the Khwai Development Trust.

 

The area used to be a hunting concession, but is now actively managed as a conservation area. The local community now runs ecotourism initiatives, actively conserves the environment and manages the wildlife in the concession.

​

The Khwai community has a population of just 400 people who are predominately of either BaBukakhwe or River Bushmen decent. They are an inspirational example of a local community who live in peaceful harmony with wildlife.
