Where To Find Hyena Pan Camp

Situated in the east of the Khwai Private Reserve, which borders Botswana’s Moremi Game Reserve, the Okavango Delta, the Khwai River and Chobe National Park, Hyena Pan offers an all-around safari experience in a private concession. Its ideal position offers visitors the chance to view bountiful wildlife in one of Botswana’s densest game areas, including nomadic herds of zebra, buffalo, elephant and plains game. Wildlife roams freely between the Chobe National Park as there are no fences or barriers interrupting the movement into the Khwai.
