Okavango Delta, Botswana

Kwara Camp

Kwara is an outstanding camp with a quality combination of both land and water activities for most of the year. As with all of the Kwando properties, they are aggressive and exciting in their search for surrounding game on safari activities.

We find the common area to be a bit cramped when the property is full. Kwara's walkways are deep, soft sand so this is not much of a flip flop camp.

Kwara is located in the remote northern part of the stunning Okavango Delta within the private Kwara concession. The camp fronts onto a huge floodplain, adjacent to the permanent water of the Delta and is backed by extensive bush. It is a magnificent wilderness area in excess of 1,700 square km, bordering the Moremi Game Reserve. No trip to Botswana is complete without a visit to the Delta, the shimmering and unique watery jewel in the middle of the Kalahari Desert. Kwara encompasses a wide diversity of habitats, ranging from the clear Delta waters with reed-lined lagoons and channels, to open grasslands, mopane woodlands and palm-fringed islands.

The eight luxury safari style tents are built on raised decks, within a grove of huge and ancient African Ebony trees. Resident hippo will generally serenade you year round from the water on the floodplain in front of the camp. Each tent has its own viewing deck, private en-suite facilities including hot and cold running showers, flush toilets and modern amenities.

The forested island on which the camp sits is typical of those encountered throughout the vast 1.6 million hectares of the Okavango Delta. At Kwara, you will discover why the Okavango is considered one of the ecological wonders of Africa and indeed the world. It is mysterious, calming, unpredictable and very wild.

Along with the bird watching, Kwara offers fishing (both spinner and fly), walks with a guide on one of the many palm-fringed islands and also spectacular night drives on top of the morning and afternoon drives. Kwara also offers water activities including powerboat trips and dugout canoe trips. The beauty and charm of Kwara will captivate you. Night game drives are also available and open up a nocturnal world. Spotlights will find hippo out of the water grazing, herds of impala down for the night, serval and genit cats, hunting lions, hyena and leopard.
