This was our first Botswana camp and our first trip to Africa so, even with all of the preparation, we still weren't exactly sure what to expect. We were so very pleasantly surprised by the reception, the overall camp, the room and the views out across the delta. What makes this camp special is it is a "wet" camp. During... More

Kwetsani camp is unique. We absolutely loved our treehouse accommodation! Charmaine and Dan, the managers, and their staff were among the top two for service of the 5 camps we stayed at in Africa. They were personable, friendly, and just couldn't do enough to make each guest happy. Dan, and or Charmaine, were present at every meal, spent time in... More

Kwetsani is a premium lodge, high spec, very comfortable, great food, staff and location but not remarkable from many others of similar quality in the Okavango. The reason we chose it was that we specifically tasked our travel agent to find lodges with a good track record of leopard spotting. They came up trumps with Kwetsani, we had 5 sightings... More

Thanks to Shermaine and Dan, we had a wonderful stay at Kwetsani wilderness safari camp. The view is exceptional, the food is great and the nature is breathtaking. This camp is among the best we have ever seen. Highly recommended

We were very lucky enough to go to this camp as guests at a wedding. The camp normally caters for 10 and they had 20 of us staying for the weekend as well as hosting the wedding reception. The welcome the staff gave us to the camp and their attentiveness and good humour hosting us whilst putting together a wedding... More

We stayed in Kwetsani for two nights and were lucky enough to have the camp to ourselves on the first night. With only five rooms however it still felt really nice and intimate when full the second night! The main area of the camp is spectacular and perfectly designed...despite the baboons trying their best to steal the cushions! The wooden... More

my review echoes Alix M and the great description by tracyk45. Facilities and game drives were excellent. Our guide MT was extremely knowledgeable and got as excited as we did with every new sighting. What makes a camp successful though are the people and management. Angie and William are exceptionally warm and friendly managers, and their style is contagious to... More
