For the remainder of your Botswana and Victoria Falls journey, move west again into the Okavango Delta’s Khwai Concession. Carved by the Khwai River, this 1800-square-kilometer swath of land is favored by elephant for the dense Mopane forests. (Approx. 20 mins flight from Selinda Reserve)
The concession was established by local Khwai villagers as an active ecotourism zone and continues to be managed by the Khwai Development Trust. The relatively consistently flooded lagoons attract a high concentration of game to the water’s edges, making the Khwai River an ideal place to spot elusive wildlife such as wild dog and leopard.
