Kwetsani Camp — Hotel in North-West District

An oasis in the Okavango Delta !|Very polite, quite knowledgeable and pleasant, relaxed staff !|The chalets and rooms are outstanding, in design, amenities, positioning, views, cleanliness and everyday service, including cold&hot water, plunger coffee, laundry, outdoor and indoor shower (very important - there is a mobile shower too!).|Flying over with a small plane doesn't allow you much luggage but I would recommend you bring your favourite snacks because food is quite scarce and there is nothing to nibble in between!|The bartender Colin is brilliant, drinks are always cold and promptly served. |I strongly recommend the local Okavango gin & Indian tonic as well as their St Louis beer. Wines come from South Africa and are OK; whiskeys, liqueurs etc Our ranger Sam was great too, very dedicated and going out of his way to show us as many interesting animals&birds as possible and even organising a lunch in the middle of the Delta.|Recommendations - mainly for the kitchen:|- adapting the meals hours - one cannot have breakfast at 5.30 a.m. and lunch starting 10.30 😏 So prepare take away sandwiches for the morning drive and a proper breakfast upon return; lunch around 1 pm is appropriate |- always have a second serving available and a few more options to choose from|Regarding the game drives themselves, the highlight for us were the various stunning big and small Delta birds, driving along with the lions, elephants bathing in mud, buffalos with birds picking on them, a new antelope - the lechwe, crossing some red waters full of iron. The roads are sandy and harsh.|Best experience to see that you are actually in a Delta is taking a helicopter tour.|2 Boma dinners in 4...

We stayed here 3 nights after visiting another concession in the north - great try different locations in Botswana to get different perspectives and landscapes. The Delta is a fascinating place and we had a wonderful time. The staff were great, the rooms lovely and more luxurious than the Kwondo camp we visited. The food was excellent we arrived on a Friday so got to experience the Boma in action - complete with staff singing. The camp is nice and small but rooms spaced out on a walkway so you felt very private. There were never more than 3 rooms busy (of 6) when we stayed. ||The landscape made the drives more concentrated than the other camp we visited - so we went back to the same spots a few times and got to see mating lions, leopard and huge herds of Red Lechwe. We also visited an island on a boat which was a fab experience dodging a hippo! ||Gin and Tonic our guide was knowledgeable, liked the sound of his voice (!) and fun. We missed having a separate spotter of the other camp and while we liked the Landrover it wasn’t as roomy as the land cruisers elsewhere if you are over 6 foot like we are. A luxury camp and if you get the chance book the helicopter- you won’t regret the sightings....

This is an amazing lodge in the wetter part of the Okavango Delta. It's not cheap, but worth every penny. We stayed there the 2nd half of April for 4 nights, just as the water started to enter this part of the delta. ||The lodge is beautiful designed, with luxurious cabins. The cabin is equipped with good comfy beds, indoor and outdoor showers and a deck overlooking the flood plains. Food is delicious. But the best part is the staff! All of them to their utmost to make your stay magnificent. Most of all Lesh, the hardest working, friendliest of all. ||The wildlife is amazing, we saw so much game, even on the trip from the airstrip to the lodge we saw 3 out of the big five (Elephant, Lion and Leopard) and much more. This continued the next days. We did have an amazing guide, the famous GT (Gin & Tonic). He was very friendly and entertaining, and also a great wildlife spotter. He did his best to share his knowledge about nature and wildlife. A helicopter ride over the delta is a great way to see more of the water flooding into the delta.||Highly recommended if you want to visit the...
