THE JACKAL & HIDE KHWAI PRIVATE RESERVE

BOTSWANA

Open to all wildlife enthusiasts, The Jackal & Hide, previously known as Pangolin Khwai Camp, will combine animal sightings and offer photographic safaris for professional and amateur photographers alike. A resident photo guide is also able to be booked on request.

Situated in the pristine 500,000 acres of wilderness that is Khwai Private Reserve in the Greater Okavango Delta region, it is home to some of the most famous and iconic game-viewing areas on the African continent.

Vast floodplains and sprawling grasslands meet patches of forested enclaves, and through it all runs an intricate network of channels with lily-filled waterways, making the landscape as unique as the Delta in which it lies. Apart from the incredible sightings here, Khwai Private Reserve is one of the most well-managed private concessions in the area with very few people and vehicles around. A true wilderness experience is part and parcel of a safari at The Jackal & Hide.

The most impressive wildlife spectacle in Khwai Private Reserve showcases characters that inhabit the wetlands and rivers – hippos and crocodiles. On dry land, the favored big cats lurk along treelines and sometimes make a dash right through camp.

Add to that sable, roan, impala and kudu dotting the grasslands alongside giraffe and zebra, while an abundance of elephant and buffalo graze to their heart’s content. The birdlife is a twitcher’s dream, imagine giant eagles and the colorful display of the lilac breasted roller. For those guests fortunate enough to see jackals, African wild dogs, serval cats, honey badgers and the elusive pangolin, there will be a few ticks off the bucket list.

With only 8 Meru-style tents, guests can expect a relaxed and carefree atmosphere. Each room offers a cozy retreat from the elements with large King-sized beds, writing desks, cool ensuite bathrooms and private verandahs.
