Kwando Lagoon

Kwando Lagoon | Information

Kwando Lagoon Camp lies on the shady banks of the Kwando River among tall and ancient African Ebony and Marula trees, under the watchful gaze of the resident hippos. We think of Kwando Lagoon – and its sister lodges of Kwando Lebala and Kwara Camp as the ‘thinking mans’ safari destination. The camp are simply decorated, with all the comforts you require, however they have made a point of keeping the hospitality experience grounded and authentic. Not a massage table, Victorian Bath, cigar humidor or wine cellar in site! Staying at Kwando is all about the wildlife experience, the guides and trackers are trained to give you an exceptional safari experience.

Kwando Lagoon Camp accommodates only 12 guests in 6 twin bedded luxury safari-style tents. Each tent looks out over the water and has private en-suite facilities, including 24 hour hot and cold running water, open-air showers, flush toilets and modern amenities. Over the years, many guests have commented that Lagoon Camp stands out as one of the most beautiful settings of any safari camp. The shady, treed environment of the camp hosts a great variety of birds and squirrels that visit daily. A family of hippo and an elephant or three are regularly sighted from the tents. This contributes to the relaxed calm that prevails at Lagoon.

Kwando Lagoon | Game Viewing

Kwando Lagoon is located in 2,320 kms2 of private unfenced wilderness area. Morning and night game drives are conducted by specialist guides and trackers in open safari vehicles. This area is home to huge herds of elephants and buffalo. There are few places in Africa where such concentrated numbers of these animals exist, especially in the dry season.

The predators are also well represented by lion, hyena, leopard, cheetah and wild dog. These animals are generally very relaxed in the presence of vehicles, meaning the sightings are usually at close range.
Among the great variety of antelope species found at Lagoon, the endangered Sable and Roan are often seen. Seasonally, large herds of elephant drink almost daily at the river bank in front of the camp, in full view of the guests. The big herds attract big predators. The lions of Kwando are famous for their elephant, hippo and buffalo kills.

Kwando Lebala Camp

Lebala means wide open spaces in Setswana and the scenery around Kwando Lebala Camp is dominated by vast plains with scattered palms and tree clumps backed by wooded savannas. This wild expanse is contrasted with the casual elegance and luxury of the camp itself.

Savute Elephant Camp

In the heart of the Chobe National Park, sometimes referred to as the elephant capital of the world, is Savute Elephant Camp. Perched on the former banks of the now dry Savute Channel, the camp offers a spectacular birds eye view.
