is not unusual to see many different types of wildlife during just
one game drive. As a year round destination for wildlife,
predators can regularly be seen in the area, rated as one of the
most prolific in Botswana for viewing wildlife. The exceptional
location of Khwai makes it a regular host to Elephant, Buffalo,
Lion, Leopard, Cheetah and Wild Dogs. Birdlife can also be viewed
in abundance with exceptional sightings of wildfowl and raptors. [BLD]

Moremi Game Reserve. [BLD]
