A reimagined lodge in the Okavango Delta’s private Khwai Concession bordering Moremi Game Reserve

Game drives, night drives, mokoro rides, birding, helicopter rides
Sediba Sa Rona is Desert & Delta’s new lodge in the game-rich Khwai region, where sightings of big cats, elephants, and wild dogs are often excellent. As with all camps in Khwai, game drives stick to the roads and the area can be busy, but this is reflected in the rate, and the location offers real value for the Delta. With Desert & Delta’s usual polish, it’s a lodge that offers comfort in Botswana without the typically high price tag.
Activities
The activities at Sediba Sa Rona are centred on mokoro rides, to make use of the camp’s watery setting, as well as game drives in both the Khwai Concession and Moremi Game Reserve.

These take place twice daily within the Khwai Concession and Moremi Game Reserve. This area overall is renowned for its wildlife sightings, including lion, leopard, cheetah, and wild dog.
Drives after dark within the Khwai Concession are available on request and allow guests to experience the Delta’s nocturnal world and its more elusive species. Please note that night drives aren’t permitted within Moremi Game Reserve.
Rides on board a mokoro are a unique Okavango Delta activity, connecting guests closely with nature while gliding silently along the reed-fringed water channels. This is an opportunity to look out for small details, including colourful birds, butterflies, and tiny reed frogs.
The Okavango Delta’s birdlife is superb. There’s a huge variety of resident and migratory species, including kingfishers, African fish eagles, the elusive Pel’s fishing owl, and African jacanas.
Soar high above the Okavango Delta in a doors-off (or on!) helicopter ride. This experience offers guests an incredible aerial perspective over the Delta’s water channels and palm-studded islands.
