"Wildlife paradise at Kwara"
THE experience of the whole holiday was the mokoro trip gliding silently through the narrow channels of the Okavango (hippos at a suitably discreet distance - generally!) and getting so close to birds." See all these reviews: 6n in Botswana; 4n in Namibia; 2n in Zimbabwe
"Beautiful memories of landscape around Kwara"
Food was less varied then the other Kwando camps we visited during our trip (Lagoon and Lebala) and there always seemed to be something missing (e.g. no eggs at breakfast; no fresh fruit for lunch, no milk to put in the tea...). Staff was not unfriendly, but didn't seem very interested in their visitors. During dinner, guides mainly kept to themselves and talked in Setswana to each other. Overall, the general atmosphere in this camp was not as warm and welcoming as we have experienced in the other camps we visited.
That being said, we did have a memorable stay as, again, the landscape around Kwara is among the most beautiful we saw during our trip, and we wouldn't have wanted to miss that. And to top it off: we had stunning sightings of lions and cheetah at this camp ! Reason why our overall appreciation of the camp was "good" instead of "average"."

"Great views of wildlife, especially wild dog"
We had wonderful sightings of cheetah and cubs, jackals and, best of all, a wild dog. She had become separated from her hunting partner and was plaintively calling to re-establish contact.
Our guide, Josiah, and tracker, Gomms, were friendly and knowledgeable. Gomms made an excellent gin and tonic!" See all these reviews: 15n in Botswana

"Kwara Camp review"
"Kwara review"
It would be good if the camp offered private meals in the evening. Sometimes you don't want to sit with everyone else and make forced conversation." See all these reviews: 7n in Botswana; 3n in Zimbabwe

Game viewing was excellent and allowed for the most variety of wildlife on our trip." See all these reviews: 11n in Botswana
"Great game viewing"
"Wonderful place, deep in the wilds"
It was great to have an elephant munching away at a tree no more than 5 meters away from us having our breakfast." See all these reviews: 25n in Namibia; 8n in Botswana
"Kwara Camp = Cheetah Land"
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
