North Gate, the exit gate
in the North-eastern side of the Reserve is reached through a wooden bridge
that crosses the river. Close by the
pleasant shady camping site is situated.
North Gate or Khwai
Campsite is a must on your itinerary, as this area probably offers the best
game viewing in Botswana.
It is a beautiful campsite
set amongst huge shady trees overlooking the Khwai River.
It has to be mentioned that
once again the baboons and monkeys can be a nuisance, and are famous for making
camp life uncomfortable.
Outwit them, and don't
leave foodstuffs and utensils unattended.
Keep your tent and car
windows closed
Khwai Camp is renowned for
game viewing from the comfort of your camping chair. Elephant and the
occasional wild dog out on hunt is, a common sight for campers.
Game drives around the Khwai
flood plains can be very rewarding.
Wildebeest and antelope are
in abundance.
Elephant, lion, wild dog
and hyena are a common sight.
Wattle crane, saddle billed
stork and other exotic birds are found on the banks of the river and is a
paradise for bird lovers.
There are a couple of small
shops at Khwai village just across the river from the camp site, where very
basic essentials including cold drinks, ice and beer can be obtained.
