African Bush Camps' riverside camp in the Khwai community concession, with the river-deck suites as its calling card. The operator was founded in 2006 by Zimbabwean guide Beks Ndlovu and runs a foundation with projects in the villages it works alongside; the camp sits on Khwai land and pays concession fees to the community trust.

- Guided walks

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 Leadwood
Is Khwai Leadwood good for families?
Yes. Khwai Leadwood runs the Ngwana Club children's programme, and the operator says children of all ages are welcome at its family-focused camps generally, without naming a specific minimum age for this property. There is also a family suite with interconnecting bedrooms for parents and children.
Is Khwai Leadwood good for a honeymoon?
Yes. Khwai Leadwood has a dedicated honeymoon suite, and every suite includes a private river deck and an outdoor bath described as soaking under the stars. The operator's page does not mention a plunge pool, so ask if that specific feature matters to you.
Can you do night drives at Khwai Leadwood?
Yes. The operator's page explicitly lists game drives, night drives and walking safaris at Khwai Leadwood, run on Khwai community land at the edge of Moremi. Day and night activities both operate here, unlike camps genuinely inside the reserve.
What does the rate at Khwai Leadwood include?
The operator's page does not itemise what the Khwai Leadwood rate includes, and exact pricing is not published there either. Confirm meal plan, drinks, laundry and transfer inclusions directly with African Bush Camps before you book.
