A night in Khwai, a morning on the water

Make the most of a short Botswana escape with a flight from Maun to Khwai and one tented night at Saguni Safari Lodge. Explore the concession by open-sided safari vehicle in the afternoon, then discover its quieter waterways on a guided mokoro excursion the following morning.

Safari days shaped by the season

Seasonal schedules shift the outings to make the most of daylight and cooler temperatures. Afternoon high tea precedes the game drive, and an early continental breakfast sets up your morning on the water. Your airstrip transfers and return flights connect the lodge stay with Maun.

Flights, accommodation and activities are subject to availability. Mokoro excursions depend on water levels and safety, and wildlife sightings are never guaranteed. Confirm baggage limits, onward connections and any guest-age restrictions before travel.

The supplied programme mentions arrival and departure brunches, but its meal table excludes lunches. Dinner and breakfast are included here; brunch arrangements and premium-drink exclusions will be confirmed in writing before booking.

Itinerary

Day 1 – Fly to Khwai & Afternoon Wildlife Drive

Fly from Maun to Khwai, where your driver meets you for the transfer to Saguni Safari Lodge. Check in and relax before high tea and an afternoon game drive. The winter outline has high tea at 15:00 and departure at 15:30, with dinner around 19:30. In summer, high tea is around 15:30, the drive begins at 16:00 and dinner follows around 20:00. These are provisional seasonal timings; arrival brunch is subject to meal confirmation. Overnight at Saguni.

Day 2 – Morning Mokoro & Flight Back to Maun

In winter, wake around 05:30 for continental breakfast at 06:00 and a mokoro outing approximately 06:30–11:30. In summer, the outline begins with a 05:00 wake-up, breakfast at 05:30 and a 06:00–11:00 outing. Water levels, safety and your flight connection determine the final schedule. Return to the lodge, check out and transfer to Khwai airstrip for your flight to Maun. The programme’s noon brunch needs confirmation; no second overnight stay is included.
