Wilderness Kwetsani offers the perfect Okavango ‘combination’ experience. Its extremely remote location gives access to both water and dry land areas, allowing guests to see all aspects of the Delta’s makeup. Unique "tree house" style tents provide exceptional views from their elevated positions, looking out over floodplains dotted with game.
The five tents combine with the cool thatched main area to form a self-contained safari world – a fusion of creature comforts and incredible wildlife moments. Access to Hunda Island for game drives, plus water activities in search of species rarely encountered elsewhere, contribute to Wilderness Kwetsani’s comprehensive activity offering.
INSIDER'S TIP: Lie back on the loungers at the pool on a sunny afternoon while looking out for wildlife and “Delta Specials” or enjoy sightings from the comfort of your private room.
Standard Twin/Double Tent(s)
Inspired by the spirit of authentic safari, Wilderness Kwetsani combines modern comforts with the beauty of the surrounding untamed wilderness.
Beautifully crafted in canvas, wood, and glass, each accommodation provides an elegant home away from home, with an exquisitely furnished bedroom and lounge. Each luxury tent is elevated to maximise the sweeping panoramic floodplain vistas.

Guided morning and afternoon game drives. offered in open 4x4 vehicles, explore the mosaic of Delta habitats, and let you come closer to some of the resident wildlife.
A whole new safari experience awaits after dark. Night drives with spotlights allow you to find those nocturnal animals you wouldn’t see during normal daytime drives. Go in search of the fascinating creatures of the night ... porcupine, aardwolf, serval, large spotted genet and lesser bushbaby are just some of these.
Get your feet on the ground and enjoy a walk through the pristine Jao Reserve. On Hunda Island, the dry season brings in large numbers of mixed species, which makes for supremely rewarding walking safaris. Our expert guides welcome the opportunity to share their bushlore adventures ...
* Seasonal and subject to the availability of a qualified walking guide, therefore pre-booking is essential.
There is no better way of viewing the Delta and its wildlife than by floating silently in a traditional mokoro (dugout canoe). Often revealing the smaller critters of the Okavango Delta, keep an eye out for tiny reed frogs, and the fascinating avian life. In summer, guests are driven to the waters edge for this activity.
* Water levels permitting.
Boating is another idyllic form of water wildlife viewing along the waterways. often yielding fabulous sightings of hippo and crocodile and maybe even the elusive sitatunga.
* Water levels permitting.
Try your hand at seasonal fishing on a catch and release basis. The camp has a limited supply of basic equipment for your use.
* Note that fishing is seasonal as it is prohibited by Botswana law in January and February due to breeding purposes.
The Jao Reserve has outstanding birding opportunities. With water and land activities, opportunities to grow your list are excellent. Wattled cranes, slaty egrets, rosy-throated longclaws, Pel’s fishing-owls and African skimmers are some of the "specials" while more common coppery-tailed coucals and pygmy goose are also seen.
During times of high water, Wilderness Kwetsani guests boat to Hunda Island for game drives, complete with a picnic on a full-day excursion.
Hunda Island is famous for adrenaline pumping sightings!
