"Kwara Camp = Cheetah Land"

3 nights Arrived 26 May 2015
"In three days at Kwara, we saw so much! 9 different Cheetahs (including 4 young cubs). Many lion. Tons of Elephants, Giraffe, Zebra, etc. It was more than we could have ever expected and made the visit unforgettable

Compared to the other camps we visited (Chitable Lediba, Lagoon, Lebala) the rooms and public areas were more basic. The shower alternated between scalding and freezing with no possibility of a pleasant equilibrium.

Guide and tracker (Josiah and Kelly) were amazing. Talented, dedicated, knowledgeable,

Camp management had its ups and downs. They wanted things done their way at their time and were not relaxed about guests doing their own thing. They were very conscientious about my gluten-free diet though and I really appreciated that." See all these reviews: 11n in Botswana

"We thoroughly enjoyed Kwara Camp."

4 nights Arrived 28 Apr 2015
"There was not much not to like about Kwara Camp. The food was outstanding. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. The guide and tracker were very professional and very competent. The tents were great. We very much enjoyed the boat ride too. My personal favorite was watching bush TV.

We have been on many safaris but none have been as long as they were at Kwara. We really enjoyed all aspects of the game drives. Especially persuing cats through the bush." See all these reviews: 4n in Botswana

"Disappointing compared to Pom Pom"

3 nights Arrived 3 Feb 2015
"Atmosphere was spoilt by a dominant group of Germans who hogged the safari vehicles, and remained allof at meal times.

Camp management was lacking. Guides and trackers seemed to have their own fiefdom, and we were made to feel like tourists." See all these reviews: 8n in Botswana

"Great experience in the Delta"

2 nights Arrived 2 Dec 2014
"Kwara camp is in a beautiful setting on the water with the opportunity for great wildlife viewing from the deck of your tent.

We loved our Guide Robby and Tracker Master who spent extra time tracking cheetah and lion for us, and looking for sitatunga on our boat trip. The boat trip through the Delta was a highlight -- its nice to have some variety from the game drives. Only improvement here could be in the food, both in variety and quality.

Loved all the staff and the camp had some interesting characters visiting as well." See all these reviews: 2n in Botswana

"Kwara Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 8 Nov 2014
"The variety of game viewing and quality of guiding were of the highest class.
We had some truly magical and moving moments on the game drives.
having both dry and wet activities is a key feature.
The camp staff were extremely hardworking and friendly.
The camp itself, especially the rooms, are a little tired, but this adds to the charm.

It would be a shame if this camp were refrurbished too extensively, it just needs a redecoration." See all these reviews: 5n in South Africa; 3n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Kwara Camp review"

4 nights Arrived 4 Oct 2014
"This was the first Safari that we have been on and although we had read up on it before we went, our expectations were exceeded in all respects.

Our guide Dix, was excellent and good fun. We saw - lions, cheetah, leopard, wild dogs to name a few.

We loved sitting around the camp fire (bush TV) after dinner chatting to the other guests.

The thing that probably impressed us most was how friendly all of the staff were." See all these reviews: 10n in South Africa; 4n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Game drives really good and saw loads.

Guide (Robbie) v good

Water safari a real treat with driver KP

Very hot when we were there (42+) so absence of any mechanism to cool down was the only real drawback
