Kwara Camp

Kwara is located in the remote northern part of the stunning Okavango Delta within the private Kwara concession - a magnificent wilderness area in excess of 1,700 square kilometres bordering the Moremi Reserve. The camp fronts onto a huge floodplain, adjacent to the permanent water of the Delta and is backed by extensive bush.

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.

Here our guests can enjoy a diverse wildlife experience all year-round, but the focus is definitely on the water, whether it is gliding along in the special silence of a mokoro through crystal-clear waters or visiting the famous Godikwe lagoon, where you can stand on a boat literally eye to eye with thousands of herons, storks and other nesting birds.

Other species you can encounter through the channels and rivers are kingfishers, pygmy geese, fish eagles, jacanas, darters and if you're really fortunate, the elusive Pels fishing owl.

The Kwara area is also home to a variety of wild animals including, lechwe, sitatunga, reedbuck, bushbuck, hippo, crocodiles, elephant, buffalo, sable, roan, zebra, giraffe, wildebeest, impala and tsessebe. Lion, hyena, wild dog, leopard and cheetah are abundant in this part of the Delta and are regularly seen on game drives.

The 8 luxury safari-style tents are built on raised decks, within a grove of huge and ancient African ebony trees. Resident hippos will generally serenade you year round from the water on the floodplain in front of the camp. Each tent has its own viewing deck and en-suite facilities.

There is also a honeymoon suite with its own special bathroom with an antique slipper bath with the traditional ball and claw feet.

Highly skilled chefs prepare delicious meals to round off a perfect day in Kwara's watery wonderland.
