Khwai Mokoro Safaris and Campsites

10/10 Excellent
"The location right next to the Khwai concession, so it’s easy accessible for your night drives. The camp itself is beautifully nestled right on the Khwai river. If you want serenity this is the place to go to. You can feel the team likes to work there and make sure you have a great experience. If you try to get good sightings try to get Longer as your guide. Ex BDF Anti Poaching unit - do I have to say more?"
