The northern areas of the delta feature larger expanses of savannahs punctuated by lagoons and tributaries, and it is on the banks of one of these that a magnificent site has been selected for Kadizora Camp. Beneath a majestic stand of trees and along a peninsula, commanding uninterrupted panoramic vistas of the delta, the camp has been set out to afford each luxury tent absolute privacy.

Kadizora presents 9 Luxury Tents and 4 Standard Tents, each with generous living spaces, and surrounded by sophisticated furnishing, making time between exciting wildlife experiences comfortable and tranquil. In addition to game drives in open vehicle, mokoro excursions, boating (during rainy season) and fishing, we will provide the ideal position from which to explore the endless flow of rivers and tributaries, this tranquil experience permits close encounters with an abundance of bird and wildlife. The camp is reached after a short 40 minute flight from Maun, and Maun is connected to the major hubs in South Africa and Zimbabwe making access relatively seamless.

Birding at Saguni

Nestled in the heart of the Khwai Community Concession, Saguni Safari Lodge and its exclusive sister retreat, Sagaro, offer a birdwatcher's paradise like no other. This pristine wilderness, where riverine forests meet open floodplains and mopane woodlands, supports an extraordinary diversity of birdlife year-round.

Wake to the melodic chorus of robins and doves, and spend your days in the company of expert guides, scanning the skies and waterways for some of Botswana’s most iconic and elusive species. From the vivid flash of a Lilac-breasted Roller to the majestic silhouette of a soaring Martial Eagle, every outing promises new and exciting discoveries.

The Khwai River draws a variety of waterbirds and waders—watch for Saddle-billed Storks, African Jacanas, Pygmy Geese, and Slaty Egrets as they forage along the channels and lagoons. The surrounding bush teems with colourful bee-eaters, kingfishers, hornbills, and cuckoos, while lucky guests may spot rare species such as the Pel’s Fishing Owl, Rosy-throated Longclaw, or Bat Hawk.

Whether you're a seasoned birder or simply appreciate nature’s quieter treasures, Saguni offers the perfect base to experience Khwai’s exceptional avian diversity—accompanied, of course, by warm hospitality and breathtaking views.
