"Kwara Camp review"
The managers, TJ and Joseph, were friendly and helpful - though not as visible as OB had been at Lagoon. Our guide, Thomas, and the spotter, Josiah, were outstanding. Thomas is intelligent, articulate, and charming, with a tremendous enthusiasm that is infectious. Josiah is extremely kind and caring and we all enjoyed getting to know him. He's very knowledgeable and the team of Tom and Josh really worked out well. They went way beyond the call of duty with respect to game viewing - one evening taking us on a cross country dash for a fantastic viewing of a cheetah.
One other staff person who stood out for us was Ocean, whose friendliness and enthusiasm were great.
The atmosphere at Kwara is very informal - even more so than Lagoon. For instance, instead of sitting down at the table for 'tea' in the afternoon, there was a kind of small buffet and guests ate standing up or found a soft chair to sit in. We actually found this to be a better plan, since it encouraged people to chat with one another and reduced (at least a little bit) our calorie intake. The food was good."

"Kwara camp review"
Also loved the more indigenous feel of the camp, with its elephants in the garden!
Would be nice if the camp had more sitting/lounge facilities - sometimes there simply wasnt space for all the guests to be in that single lounge space at once." See all these reviews: 7n in Botswana

"Great Safaris at Kwara Camp"
"Excellent safari at Kwara"
Guiding was good and we saw cheetah, elephant ,lion and much more. The guide (George) was a good communicator.
I was able to take a short mokoro trip and a walk.
The camp was well organised and well run and service and food were both excellent." See all these reviews: 9n in Botswana
"Kwara Camp review"
Still, the only 3 vehicles at any sighting, and not following any predator which is clearly stalking prey, seemed excellent rules, and we appreciated the care the trackers and spotters take of their wildlife.
The rooms are fine, although a little more rustic than some camps, but the food was good and I would not worry about any tripadvisor reports to the contrary. The staff are fabulous and Hilda was a star, always cheerful and kind and considerate of the dietary needs of the diabetic in our group." See all these reviews: 6n in Botswana

"Kwara Camp review"
Besides again seeing abundant elephant, antelope, hippo and co we were fortunate enough to have good sightings of wild dogs, jackel, mongooses, cheetah and even a distant sighting of a honey badger. The guide and tracker went to great lengths to meet our request for cheetah and lion hich they succeeded in meeting.
We've deceided that we should get up earlier because we missed wild dogs hunting an impala in sight of the camp. The impala escaped into the lake only to be killed by one of the resident crocodiles, all within view of some of the guests. We also go to bed too early as one evening whilsts guests were sitting round the camp fire one of the elephants joined them forcing them to stay up even longer drinking their delicious Amarula!"
