I really liked the little village of Khwai. It caters for all budgets - you can't always find easy, reasonably priced places to camp in Botswana. Situated close to the Moremi Reserve's north gate, you'll find a public campsite opposite the village. Very practical if you arrive by four-wheel drive with your own camping gear.
I stayed in one of the luxury lodges beside the river - the oldest and most prestigious safari camp on River Khwai. The safaris were mind-blowing. I spotted the Big 5, including several leopards (a rare sight indeed) and a pack of wild dogs. Being beside the river, where the delta narrows, is an advantage, as it's here that wild animals congregate.
