"Kwara Camp review"
The staff is very friendly and the camp is beautifully located close to the water. You can do all kind of activities (game drives, boat, mokoro, walking safaris) all year round. We were extremely lucky to see two cheetahs, one leopard, a rare sitatunga and a pack of 20 wild dogs all in just four days. Splendid!
Our guide Lukas and his spotter Tyro were not only very friendly, but also extremely konwledgeable and always willing to go the extra mile for us.
Thank you very much for an unforgettable stay!" See all these reviews: 4n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe
"Kwara Camp review"
Being the flagship, the standards are very high.
Kwando appear to have taken on board feed back and the guides in Splash and Kwara are now co-operating better so there is less overlap than I have encountered previously.
Managers Charles and Lizzy are both a delight, and I am looking forward to retuning next year." See all these reviews: 11n in Botswana

Catering excellent.
The night drives were exciting and productive." See all these reviews: 9n in Botswana
"Kwara Camp review"
There is no air conditioning, so on days it was warm the rooms got really stuffy. There is also no internet which I found more stressful than enjoyable.
The safari experience was amazing - the guides are able to go off road and we even participated in an actual hunt. I would have preferred to shorten the evening drives since once it got dark the bugs came out and you couldn't really see anything.
Having the wildlife come so close to the camp was a major plus!" See all these reviews: 6n in Botswana; 4n in South Africa; 2n in Zimbabwe
"Kwara Camp review"
The staff were brilliant, the guide and tracker were not only excellent but great fun too and the food was super. The staff even treated us to singing and dancing, and sundowners each evening.
But best of all was the game viewing; the most exciting we have seen anywhere in Africa (and we have been on safari in various places over the years). We saw wild dogs hunting and making a kill (fascinating, if gruesome), a group of wild dog puppies seeing off two hyenas that were stalking them, leopards and leopard cubs, cheetahs (inclusing one that had just made a kill), lions galore (including a tree-climbing pride), Sable antelopes, Roan antelopes, large herds of buffalo..... Even the night viewing was productive with sightings of Serval, Genet, Wild cat, Spring hares, leopard, lion and more. Quite exceptional.
The tracking was very impressive and quite often productive which added to the experience enormously." See all these reviews: 11n in Botswana
"Very up market"
There was little tracking done by guide and spotter but there proved to be an abundance of wildlife including a pack of 20 wild dogs. We also saw African Wild Cat for the first time and had a remarkable 15 minute view of 2 Honey Badgers.
Across the 3 camps we visited we saw 130 bird species ( our main interest) 7 of which were new to us." See all these reviews: 8n in Botswana

This was our third visit to Kwara and it was the highlight of our trip. It is extremely well run and very pleasant. It is our happy place in the okavango. I cannot say enough good things about it.
The tent cabins are beautiful . The entire staff is lovely. ( especially Charles who is one of the managers). The guides and trackers do a great job and the location is superior being half marsh and grassland and half drier mopane and acacia scrub.
I truly believe it is the best lodge in the delta." See all these reviews: 7n in Botswana; 1n in South Africa
