Traditional tented camp on the Khwai River, offering immersive wildlife and cultural experiences near Moremi Game Reserve.
Location: Sango Safari Camp is set beneath riverine trees on the banks of the Khwai River, on the edge of both the Khwai Concession and Moremi Game Reserve in northern Botswana. Its prime position between these protected areas allows for exceptional wildlife viewing and access to a blend of ecosystems, from permanent waterways to dry savannahs, teeming with animals year-round. The camp also offers a rare opportunity to engage with the local Khwai community, who manage the surrounding land sustainably.
Rooms: The camp features six en-suite Meru-style tents designed to echo the classic safari experience. Each tent includes open-air showers, locally handcrafted furnishings, a standing fan, and a personal safe. With rustic wooden decks and canvas walls, the rooms are comfortable yet intentionally simple, immersing guests in nature without sacrificing essential comforts.
Amenities: Central facilities include an open-sided lounge and dining area, a small bar, plunge pool, fire-lit boma, and a raised viewing deck overlooking the river. The atmosphere is relaxed and sociable, with shared meals and sundowners around the fire providing a classic safari ambience.
Activities: Guests can enjoy day and night game drives in both the Khwai Concession and Moremi Game Reserve, mokoro (dugout canoe) excursions, walking safaris, and cultural visits to Khwai village. Activities are led by knowledgeable local guides and are subject to seasonal conditions.
Sustainability: Sango Safari Camp is proudly eco-conscious, using solar power, biodegradable cleaning products, and sustainably sourced furnishings. Waste is separated and transported to Maun for responsible disposal. The camp’s construction minimises environmental impact, and operations prioritise supporting local communities and reducing the camp’s carbon footprint.
