Subjects : The subjects that can be photographed in this reserve are many, Khwai is one of the gateways to the Okawango delta, as the dry season progresses it becomes a place frequented due to the abundance of water by Elephants, Giraffes, Leopards, Lions, Hyenas, Hippos, Kudu, Zebras, Buffaloes, Nile Crocodiles, Nile Monitor Lizards, Cheetahs (extremely rare in general in Botswana) and the characteristic Water Antelopes or Cobo. The birdlife is also numerous, certainly the most beautiful is the Howler Eagle, but also Rapacious Eagle, Juggling Falcon, Purple Heron, Black Heron, African Tantalus, African Anastomus, Senegalese Mitteria, Crowned Lapwing, Umbretta or Hammerkop, Egyptian Geese and Snake Eagles Cenerine.

Recommended equipment : Long telephoto lenses, from 500mm upwards, but also wide angles for landscape photos as there is an area on the bank of the Khwai River where you are allowed to get out of vehicles.

Best months : The recommended period is between May and October, recommended September as the decrease in water makes it easier to find animals along the streams and larger pools.

How to get there : There are no paved roads, there is only an airfield that connects the area to Maun airport, for the rest the best way is the classic jeep for safari, a lot of patience given the dirt and sandy tracks.

Visits : Access to the area is via organized tours and a reservation is required

Notes : The Khwai area, like the rest of Botswana, has a significant temperature difference between day and night, it can go from 12 degrees to 40 during the morning.
