Our family of four enjoyed our time at Jackal and Hide. We saw so much.. three different leopards, lions, wild dog, hyena and of course so many elephants. The Khwai Private Reserve is so nice because you have thousands upon thousands of acres to yourself and you can go off road as you chase wild dogs on the hunt or a shy leopard as she finds her cub. You won’t see massive herds of game but you will see so much variety.. seemingly a surprise around every corner. We also enjoyed a professional photographer in camp who outfitted me and my 13 year old son with excellent camera equipment and quick instruction on how to use it. What a bonus! The amenities are somewhat on the simple side for camps in Botswana but we enjoyed them nonetheless. My teenage sons who’ve never done safari said it was the greatest place on earth. The tents and main dining area overlook a beautiful flood plain that often held elephants, hippo, and lechwe while we were there. Distant roaring lions and whooping hyena sang us to sleep each night. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Our guide was informative and worked very hard to make our experience a great one. Thanks Daniel! A few other notes.. night drives were listed as an option on their website but when we arrived they were not an option. Natural Selection is the marketing company but...Our family of four enjoyed our time at Jackal and Hide.
