The small and luxurious Kwetsani Camp is set on a long narrow island in the beautiful Jao Concession in the Okavango Delta.
Elevated in the treeline, with views over a floodplain, the camp blends into its surroundings
Kwetsani Camp has five 'tree-house' chalets, nestled amongst palm, mangosteen and fig trees, and linked by raised wooden walkways. The thatched main area is completely open on one side with views over the surrounding floodplains.
The terrain in this part of the Okavango Delta changes from season to season due to the flood levels. The diversity of habitats is home to a broad range of animals and birds. The Jao flats support herds of red lechwe, buffalo, wildebeest and zebra – as well as elephant, kudu, giraffe, and other plains game.
Kwetsani doesn’t offer the best game viewing in the Delta, but is strong on water experinces with good areas to mokoro and boat. As a water orientated destination is brings good balance to another dry land experience on the itinerary.
About This Area
The Okavango Delta was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014. It is the world's largest inland Delta. During the flood season, waters push into Botswana from Angola, transforming the Kalahari into a lush oasis teeming with life.
The Delta is home to a wide variety of vegetation, including reed beds, papyrus swamps, and grasslands. These provide habitat for an astonishing array of wildlife, from large mammals like elephants, buffaloes, lions, leopards and hippos, to crocodiles, teeny frogs, fish, and numerous bird species. It is a thriving ecosystem adapted to its seasonal fluctuations.
The water experience includes gliding silently through the Delta's channels as you are poled along in "mokoros" or canoes and exhilarating adventures in much faster motor-powered aluminium speedboats. The land experience usually occurs in open Landrovers centering around wildlife with walks in some areas
