Know before you go

Hi, I'm Eve. Here are a few practical things to know before exploring Kwetsani Camp.

Pack light, as luggage restrictions apply to the small aircraft transfers to the camp: 20kg in a soft duffel bag is the general rule.
Inquire about water levels in advance to understand which activities (land or water-based) will be most prominent during your visit.
Bring binoculars to enhance your wildlife viewing experience, especially for birdwatching.
Consider visiting during the shoulder season (May/June) for good weather and potentially lower prices.
