The area is a hub of biodiversity that offers fantastic wildlife viewing, especially during the dry season when animals flock to the river’s edge for water. Commonly sighted species include elephant, lion, leopard, cheetah, serval, buffalo, hippo and wild dog. Khwai is also known for its incredible bird life, especially its high numbers of raptors. It is a centre of community-based tourism, with locals guiding safaris and mokoro canoe tours.
