Recognising this need, Orient-Express Safaris’ legendary Khwai River Lodge, situated alongside the renowned Moremi Game Reserve, has introduced a new exclusive private “suite and safari” experience.   A naturally stunning private suite with a spacious secluded deck area, set away from the other tents in the camp, has just been built. The suite, overlooking the banks of the Khwai River and the aptly named Hippo Pool (much preferred by these weird and wonderful creatures), is perfectly positioned to view the passing game. The open air double showers and the beautiful deep copper-framed Victorian bath, with only the tree canopy as a roof, also offer perfect opportunities to commune with nature.
 
The extended viewing deck has two relaxing sun loungers, perfect for basking in the warm African sun. And to the side, a generous heated splash pool which is set amongst the trees for shade and privacy, yet with full views of the river, allowing you to wallow in communion with the hippos whilst spotting elephant, zebra or giraffe grazing on the river banks. 
  
Guests enjoying the luxurious new suite will have the opportunity to enjoy game-viewing on their own exclusive vehicle with their own personal guide, and they will be able to set out on a safari expedition as and when they wish.
 
The many other suite indulgences include elegant candle-lit dining on the outdoor deck, African-inspired massages in the privacy of the suite or on the deck, temperature controlled rooms, a well-stocked mini bar, oversized fluffy bathrobes, big soft bath sheets, cosy slippers and luxurious bathroom toiletries.
 
Following the success of the Khwai River Lodge Suite, guests will soon be able to experience a similar suite offering at Orient-Express Safaris’ two other Northern Botswana properties, Eagle Island Camp and Savute Elephant Camp.
