Situated between Chobe National Park and Moremi Game Reserve, the Khwai River is a scenic pearl of the Okavango Delta. It is home to some of Botswana’s most beautiful landscapes where a great variety of species like lions, leopards, elephants, wild dogs and buffalos roam freely.
The pristine wilderness of Moremi Game Reserve towards the eastern side of the Okavango Delta makes it one of Africa’s most iconic conservation areas. Quilted with wetlands, forests, floodplains and open grassland, it supports an incredibly wide spectrum of wildlife, ranging from large herds of buffalo, wildebeest and zebra, to the rare sitatunga and lechwe antelope.
Idyllically positioned in an ancient elephant corridor, the impressive landscape of Kazuma Forest Reserve stretches over thousands of hectares. Set out on game drives that will bring you up close and personal with the resident wildlife, including lion, leopard, sable, zebra and hundreds of different bird species.
Upon arrival at Maun Airport, the Hideaways team will meet you and transfer you by road to Mankwe Tented Retreat, where you’ll stay for the next three nights. Once there, you’ll be welcomed by the staff and can settle in. The retreat offers a spa overlooking the bush, lounging areas, and two eco-pools for relaxation. The next few days will include a mix of exploration and downtime.
