“Sediba Sa Rona is where memory and renewal come together along the waters of the Khwai.”
In the beautiful Khwai Concession, on the banks of the Khwai River, lies the lovely and poetically named Sediba Sa Rona. Opened in March 2026, this lodge combines tranquility, luxury, and responsible tourism at the site where the iconic Khwai River Lodge once stood. With views over the river, forests, and grasslands, this camp offers the best of nature: you stay in luxury tents, hear wildlife around you, and feel connected to the place. And all of this is done responsibly as well.
Sediba Sa Rona: a place of balance and ambiance
Sediba Sa Rona features 15 luxury tented suites, of which two are specifically designed for families with two bedrooms. Each tent has an ensuite bathroom and a wooden veranda overlooking the Khwai River. The common areas are built with attention to detail, comfort, and nature. Why do we know you will definitely unwind here? The lovely lounge, restaurant, swimming pool, and yes, the spa! And don’t forget the fire deck by the river, our favorite at sunset.
Wild residents come very close
Wildlife is abundant in the area around Sediba Sa Rona. Expect elephants, wild dogs, lions, leopards, and buffalo. There you have them all at once! How does this high concentration of wildlife occur? Many escape routes through the waters of Khwai lead to encounters with large grazers like buffalo. But birds are also plentiful; the combination of water, tree zones, and open plains creates a very high biodiversity here.
