The Khwai River is often the only water source year round for water reliant species like Elephant as well as aquatic and semi aquatic antelope such as  Red Lechwe, Water and Reed Buck. Sightings of Giraffe, Kudu, Zebra are abundant as are the predators. Botswana has the highest African Wild Dog population on Earth and it is not unusual to see one or two packs denning. North of the end of the Khwai River is the Mababe depression, another incredible area to explore.
