Safari Lodge

Belmond Khwai River Lodge

Khwai River Lodge opened its doors in 1971, and was one of the first lodges to promote safaris through an environmentally-friendly lens. The Lodge’s location prompted its founder, Harry Selby to build the ‘bridge over the river Khwai’. Today this serves as the well-known North Gate entrance into the Reserve. Half-hidden by the shelter of leadwood and fig trees, Belmond Khwai River Lodge is a hub of luxury that overlooks the sweeping floodplains of the Moremi Game Reserve. Each of the comfortable tents stands on a raised wooden platform, with private decks, chairs and hammocks that provide stunning views of the Khwai River.
