Okavango Delta
The campsites at this expansive campground are shady and well developed, with some lovely sites close to the riverbank; others are a little further inland. There’s an ablutions block and good wildlife watching in the area. In July 2012 there was a nonfatal leopard attack on a lone camper; always drive to the ablutions block from your campsite after dark.
There are a couple of small shops in Khwai village on the other side of the river selling food and other supplies.
