We have 40 rooms along with Spa and Conference facilities and are developing our own jetty site on the river’s edge with two of our own sunset cruise boats. We started our build in August 2021. Our unique selling points are that we are 3.6km from the Falls, but not in town – we are near the park's gate along Parkway. Although we don’t have river frontage, (we are about 150m back off the river), we have developed a private water hole and salt lick beneath our horizon pool – so we get some lovely game coming through the front of our property which we have left open and pristine. We have a lovely open dining, bar and deck area – and have loads of space all throughout the property. 14 Signature rooms of 42m2 each and 26 Luxury rooms of 28m2 each complement our room – with ramps for easy access and 7 sets of interleading rooms for families (14 rooms total).

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.
