Located in the centre of the Jao Concession, Kwetsani is situated on an elongated island covered with palm, mangosteen and fig trees. The surrounding floodplains are home to a number of “Delta specials” - species that are found in few other places on Earth. Some of these may even be seen from the privacy of one of the five luxurious “tree-house” chalets, beautifully furnished en-suite units each comprising a bedroom and lounge, and made of canvas, wood and glass.
Kwetsani’s extremely remote location gives access to both water and dry land areas, allowing guests to see all aspects of the Delta’s makeup. As a camp dedicated to the sustainability of conservation and community, Kwetsani is intimately involved in projects that support these principles.
The fully inclusive rates are not just about the level of accommodation or the thread count of the linen. They encompass elements that cannot be counted or measured, such as exclusive access to vast tracts of Africa’s best wildlife areas, creating a unique sense of seclusion, comfort, privacy and space. In turn, your presence helps in the conservation of all these iconic areas. Our dedicated team look forward to designing a journey that suits your budget and bucket list desires.
