"Amazing sightings at Lebala"

2 nights Arrived 14 Oct 2013
"Great sightings: 2 hyenas taking an impala kill away from a leopard, lots of elephants, two male lions feeding on an baby elephant, herd of 500+ buffalos, hyenas den... and the hippos grazing at night around the tent. Nice camp setting and lovely staff at the camp made a great start to an unforgettable trip in Botswana.

The only remark is that the light breakfast before the morning game drive was really light on food offering, muffins only." See all these reviews: 6n in Botswana; 1n in South Africa

"Brilliant game viewing at Lebala"

3 nights Arrived 22 Sep 2013
"Lebala is a very well run camp with Charles running it in a very professional but friendly way. Our room was huge and comfortable but the common areas less smart - but this didn't matter as all the staff seemed genuinely pleased to help and the food was a good mix of local and 'international' cuisine.

Our guide and tracker for the three days were Patna and Shoes: both excellent, listened to what we were interested in and found an amazing amount of game with leopard, cheetah and wild dogs being the mammal highlights. Also identified lots of birds as requested. We asked for an aardvark - and Shoes found one, only for it to disappear down its hole before any of us saw it!

The only one of our camps to use trackers, and as a result the one with the best game. Mark got a birthday cake and a song! And please pass on our thanks for forwarding the adaptor we left behind, which arrived later by personal delivery on our plane to Kanana!" See all these reviews: 9n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia

"Wild dogs at Lebala!"

3 nights Arrived 11 Sep 2013
"Lebala marked a return to landbased safaris after the Okavango Delta. The density of animals was greater.

The spacious tents were of interesting construction and has a wonderful view over the marshes - elephants regularly passed by.

The daily routine was slightly different with early breakfast of cereal and muffins before the morning drive and then a substantial brunch on return. All the meals were excellent and shared with our guides.

A highlight was the encounter with a pack of 14 wild dogs, chase and subsequent kill." See all these reviews: 9n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Great introduction to Kwando camps"

2 nights Arrived 7 Sep 2013
"Lebala was our first experience of an African bush camp and we enjoyed every minute. The proximity of hippo and elephant to our tent during the night was really quite a buzz. The game drives during our two-night stay were terrific thanks to the guide and tracker. The two sundowner drives at this camp were the best thanks to the choice of location.

The camp was full and we felt that this was the maximum number of other guests that we would want to interact with on this sort of holiday." See all these reviews: 8n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Highlight!"

3 nights Arrived 5 Sep 2013
"Lebala was the highlight of our safari. The camp was beautifully appointed, very comfortable, very exciting with hippos and elephants outside the tents at night. The staff could not have been better.

Our guide, Sughur (sp?), was just wonderful, quietly confident, highly professional. We felt very safe in his and the tracker's company. We had lots of laughs. We had great jeep-mates, coincidental, but it added to the overall enjoyment.

We had many exciting wildlife viewing experiences, some of which made the heart beat faster! But we did not see many cats, a disappointment, but not anyone's fault." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia; 9n in Botswana
