Our month-long overlanding adventure in Botswana reaches the end as we explore the rich wildlife at the Khwai COmmunity Concession—one of the Delta’s corners.In this video, I’ll take you on immersive game drives along the Khwai’s slow, winding channels, from sun-drenched afternoons watching elephant herds, to magical camp evenings spent beside hippo-filled waters. We set up camp at the Khwai Magotho, which is also a favourite hangout spot for Khwai’s wild elephants. Highlights include:

• Epic encounters with elephants and hippos, both at water and wandering through camp

• River crossings and learning hard-won lessons about self-driving in Botswana

• Special moments with antelope, raptors, storks, crocodiles, and the elusive sable

• Rare behaviour encounters of hippos and elephants

• Magical sunsets and intimate mornings—moments that turn the daily grind of packing, camp chores, and long drives into an unforgettable experience

• Camp reviews, tips for picking the perfect Khwai site, and real talk about safari routines, backups, and the rhythms of wildlife photographers in the field

Be it tricky water crossings or quiet mokoro rides through lily-choked channels, every day in Khwai brought us new sightlines, surprises, and reminders of just how much this wild land gives. Whether you’re planning your own African safari, looking for Botswana travel inspiration, or chasing the magic light with your camera, I hope this story brings you as close as possible to the Okavango’s wild heart.
