"4 Rivers review"
On arrival, we were warmly welcomed by ATee, who was our tracker in 2016 at Little Kwara and in 2021 at Splash, and he was camp manager at Tau Pan Camp which we stayed at In 2022. To see people again who have become friends over the years was very nice indeed.
The rooms at 4 Rivers are huge, very comfortable and with a nice veranda and comfortable chairs. The décor of the room was very contemporary and stylish and probably catered more to today’s younger urban crowd. I, for one, prefer the more traditional safari style they still have at Lagoon at Lebala Camps.
That said, this camp just opened less than year a ago, so we imagined to see fewer animals because they may not have enough time to become habituated to human presence. But our worries were unfounded. The camp lived up to the high standards we came to expect from Kwando Safaris.
A final note on this camp: In contrast to other Kwando camps, this one has WiFi in the rooms.
And there’s a final note on all Kwando camps: The communal dinners are being served at 8 or 8:30 pm. Given that on safari, everybody has to get up at 5 am or earlier, this is too late in my opinion.
Also, I don’t really like that they serve dinner at a communal table with up to 18 guests plus the guides of the day. It is completely up to luck whether you will have a decent conversation with fellow travelers. In my experience, most of the time these do not go beyond questions like, where are you from, where have you been before, where are you going next, and how did you get here? We much preferred the way this was handled in Kenya last year: Every party had their own private dinner table. If you happened to meet people on game drives that share your world views, the staff was happy to set up a table for like-minded people.
This isn’t a deal breaker, it’s just a thought." See all these reviews: 12n in Zimbabwe; 11n in Botswana

"4 Rivers review"
It is not as large as some of the other camps but it does not feel at all cramped with plenty of space to sit down and enjoy the view.
The rooms are reached by raised boardwalks, with periodic drops to ground level for elephant crossings.
The location gives access for excellent game sightings to both the flood plain and dryer woodland and open areas.
The team contains as many familiar faces from other camps as it does new, and this ensure that the guests receive the full traditional Kwando experience.
The food was of the high standard I have come to expect in the Kwando camps.
Kwando, you have done another superb job with this new location." See all these reviews: 11n in Botswana

"4 Rivers review"
All the staff including the cooks, the managers, and the guides felt like a great family team.
The rooms were well appointed on the river and although canvas, they felt safe even when the hippos went crashing past in the night.
The food was plentiful and truly delicious with plenty of options. Breakfast by the fire as the sun rose whilst waiting for the safari was really special. Two safari drives a day with expert guides and trackers with coffee stops and sundowners as the sun set were fabulous. The night time safaris yielded so many extra animals to see.
There is no wifi currently at the lodge and it would have been good to know this in advance - my daughter almost sent a search party when none of her messages were getting through! However I loved being disconnected from the world and would definitely recommend this.
The pool and a siesta in the middle of the day was wonderful. I saw all that I had hoped for and more.
A special mention to Meloni and Bonnie as well as our guide Tapps and our tracker G. The breadth of knowledge from Tapps in particular was impressive. I was also so grateful to keep the same team when my friends left a day early.
I felt very welcome and supported as a solo traveller" See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe
