Self catering accommodation
in Khwai Botswana
Set in Khwai, Termite Mound offers a way to experience Botswana that feels grounded, unhurried, and deeply connected to the land. Rather than choosing between expensive luxury lodges or basic tent camping, guests find themselves in a thoughtful middle space — comfortable glamping that keeps the wild close, without unnecessary excess. Here, the bush is not something you visit for a few hours a day; it surrounds you, moves past you, and quietly shapes each moment.
Days unfold naturally. Mornings begin with birdsong carrying across the riverbanks, light filtering through trees, and wildlife emerging on its own terms — elephants in the distance, antelope stepping into open ground, flashes of colour in the reeds. There is no sense of urgency, no pressure to chase sightings. Staying in Khwai means becoming part of an ancient rhythm, where animals follow seasonal paths shaped by water and shade, and your only task is to notice what appears.
A spacious three-bedroom villa ideal for groups or families. Each of the 3 bedrooms feature an en-suite bathroom, while the fully equipped kitchen and airy open-plan living area make it easy to relax and reconnect after a day in the bush.
For smaller groups or nature lovers looking for a more authentic experience, Termite Tented offers two generously sized twin en-suite tents on raised wooden decks. A separate kitchen and dining area while an elevated lounge beneath a majestic leadwood tree offers breathtaking views over the iconic Moremi Game Reserve.
