Kwetsani Camp, set within Botswana’s Jao Reserve, will reopen on June 1 after a complete rebuild. The camp is located in the Okavango Delta on a palm island within a riverine forest overlooking a floodplain.
The property includes five suites and a large family suite comprising two en-suite bedrooms. The design of the camp, led by Tiffany Riley, daughter of owners and operators Cathy and David Kays, blends a rich colour palette with hand-crafted and natural elements.
“We built the original Kwetsani in 1999 as a treehouse-style camp and it stood proudly for 26 years,” said Cathy. “Seeing it evolve into its next chapter is emotional but also incredibly rewarding as the next generation of our family becomes more involved in shaping its future.”
The camp offers land- and water-based safaris. The reserve recently upgraded its fleet of safari vehicles with 16 new Land Cruisers. Access to Hunda Island enables guests to enjoy seasonal boating and mokoro excursions.
