kwetsani camp
Private Jao Reserve, bordering the Moremi Game Reserve
Kwetsani Camp overlooks a large floodplain and is built into a deep thicket of mangosteen, fig and palm trees. Accommodation is in tree houses raised three metres off the ground on stilts and linked by wooden walkways. Kwetsani offers superb land and water activities - with the focus depending on the water levels from the region's annual flood.
The 5 spacious tree-house chalets are built under thatched roofs and have canvas and pole walls. The gauze windows are large, and the chalets are fronted by French glass windows, which lead onto the private balconies and allow great views over the surrounding wilderness. The rooms have an open, airy feel about them.
Kwetsani's main area boasts a large open deck looking out over a scenic floodplain. A splash pool with sun loungers and umbrellas is situated on a wooden deck overlooking the enormous floodplain dotted with lechwe and wildebeest. The lodge at Kwetsani is slightly raised and integrates existing trees into the design, like the well-stocked, self-service bar, which encompasses a jackalberry tree. The lounge area offers comfortable leather sofas and armchairs and a small library. At night, candles and lanterns transform the lodge into a golden wonderland. Dinner is often served on the wooden deck under the stars, and afterwards, guests are invited to enjoy coffee and nightcaps around the cosy campfire.
