💡 Local Tip
Wildlife often crosses bush airstrips in the Khwai area, so remain with lodge staff after landing and avoid walking the strip alone.
🚖 Getting There
Access is almost exclusively by light charter aircraft, so transfers are arranged by your lodge or safari operator rather than public transport. If self-driving, a high-clearance 4x4 is essential for the sandy tracks around Khwai, and you must check park fees and road conditions. Allow extra time for weather delays, as bush flights often operate on flexible schedules.
