Kwetsani Camp is located in the private Jao reserve, in the heart of the Okavango Delta. From its vantage point on an island heavily wooded with palm, mangosteen, and fig trees, the camp overlooks one of the Delta's most spectacular floodplains.
Five beautifully furnished 'tree-house' chalets, each with its own en-suite bathroom, provide guests with open, airy accommodation of thatch, wood, glass and canvas. The dining room, lounge and pub area, situated under a cool thatched roof, looks out over an enormous floodplain that is often dotted with lechwe, wildebeest and other plains game. Guests can watch the animals from the pool or the privacy of their rooms. Complimentary laundry services are provided.
The 150,000 acre concession is comprised of a superb variety of habitats, which include permanent waterways and lagoons, open flood plains, and thick Kalahari soils. Kwetsani Camp is a true combination 'land/water' camp, featuring all the spectacular natural beauty and ecological diversity of the Delta, in combination with good concentrations of 'big game' and abundant birdlife. The Jao concession is particularly well known for its lions and has, since 1999, been the site of several important lion research and monitoring projects.

Kwetsani Camp is an intimate luxury camp with only five treehouses available, all raised on wooden decks and connected to the main area by interwoven and elevated walkways. These lavish chalets are tucked away underneath enormous trees and are built under thatched roofs with canvas, glass and pole walls.Each treehouse has French doors that open onto a private veranda with views of the Okavango Delta, and feature an en suite bathroom with an additional outdoor shower for a truly natural African experience.
The dining area features one long wooden table for sociable gatherings at mealtimes, while the well-stocked bar, which encompasses a jackalberry tree, also has a 'help-yourself' fridge – ideal when there isn't a staff member around.

Kwetsani Camp offers excellent land and water activities. In the summer, these tend more towards game drives, whereas in the winter, mainly water-based activities are offered.
A variety of habitats ensures diverse and interesting game viewing. Hippo, Sitatunga antelope and Crocodile reside in the deeper permanent lily-filled lagoons of the area and these can be explored using the Delta's traditional form of transport, the mokoro. However, Kwetsani offers superb land and water activities - with much of the focus depending on the water levels from the region's annual flood. In addition to stalking game by mokoro, you will also be able to enjoy exploring palm fringed islands on foot. Day game drives are a highlight, enabling guests to experience varied and diverse game viewing. Guests have excellent chances of spotting predators during the day as well as on night drives. Night drives are permitted in the Jao Reserve, as it falls outside the Moremi Game Reserve and is not subject to its rules regarding drives after sunset.
