Khwai Guest House
Thatched bungalows · In Khwai village, at Moremi's North Gate · Bush Ways Botswana
Solid walls and a real budget price in a corridor where canvas routinely costs four figures: you sleep in Khwai village among its residents, and game drives head straight onto the community concession. For self-drivers who want a night out of the roof tent, or travellers pairing a cheap base with paid activities, nothing else in the area comes close on price.

What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Moremi Game Reserve charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entryP270 for non-residents, roughly $20.
- $20per person, per day
- VehicleP75 a day for a foreign-registered vehicle, roughly $6.
- $6per vehicle, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $138 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.

Questions about Khwai Guest House
Is Khwai Guest House good for families?
Khwai Guest House has family rooms alongside its bungalows, but we found no published minimum age for this specific property, so ask what applies when you enquire. A general Bush Ways guideline of 12 and over applies to its mobile camping trips, not necessarily this fixed lodge.
What does the rate at Khwai Guest House include?
The operator's page lists arrival and departure transfers from Khwai airstrip, full board meals and two activities per night including park fees, with an optional night drive at extra cost. Drinks, gratuities and personal items are excluded, and published nightly rates vary by source.
How do you get to Khwai Guest House?
Khwai Guest House sits in Khwai village itself at Moremi's North Gate, reached by fly-in transfer from the Khwai airstrip, which the operator's rate includes. Its village location also makes it workable for self-drive travellers passing through the North Gate area, unlike most camps in the corridor.
