KHWAI RIVER LODGE 

Safari to Khwai River Lodge, about 120 km North East of Maun in Botswana. A sanctuary on the outskirts of the delta, poised on the banks of the Khwai River. There are limitless horizons, river views and a munificence of animals. The scent of wild sage is your introduction to Khwai.
