Car
If you're traveling by car from any location in Kavango, start by heading towards the B8 highway. Follow the B8 towards Rundu and continue for about 60 kilometers until you reach the turnoff to the C49 road. Take the C49 heading southeast towards the Botswana border. Continue on the C49 for approximately 120 kilometers until you reach the border post. After completing border formalities (don't forget your passport and any necessary visas), continue on the main road towards Maun, following the signs for Khwai River. The river is approximately 40 kilometers from the border. Ensure your vehicle is in good condition, as some parts of this route may be unpaved and require a 4x4 vehicle.
Public Transportation
For those using public transportation, catch a bus or shared taxi from Rundu to Maun. The journey will take around 6-8 hours, so plan accordingly. Ask the driver to drop you off at the nearest point to the Khwai River. Once you arrive in Maun, you may need to hire a local taxi or arrange with a lodge for a pickup. It’s advisable to contact your accommodation in advance to confirm transport options to the river area. Budget for the bus fare (approximately N$200 - N$300) and any taxi costs from Maun to Khwai River, which may range from N$300 - N$600 depending on the distance and negotiation.
Use Khwai River as your starting point for nearby food, family ideas, nightlife, and more local discoveries.
