Kwara
is located in the remote northern part of the stunning Okavango Delta
within a private concession. The camp fronts onto a huge floodplain,
adjacent to the permanent water of the Delta and is backed by
extensive bush. It is a magnificent wilderness area in excess of 1,700
square kilometres, bordering the Moremi Reserve.
No trip to Botswana is complete without a visit to the Delta, the
shimmering and unique watery jewel in the middle of the Kalahari
desert. Kwara encompasses a wide diversity of habitats, ranging from
the clear Delta waters with reed-lined lagoons and channels, to open
grasslands, mopane woodlands and palm-fringed islands.
The
eight luxury safari-style tents are built on raised decks, within a
grove of huge and ancient African Ebony trees. Resident hippos will
generally serenade you year round from the water on the floodplain in
front of the camp. Each tent has its own viewing deck, private
en-suite facilities including hot and cold running showers, flush
toilets and modern amenities.
The
forested island on which the camp sits is typical of those encountered
throughout the vast 1.6 million hectares of the Okavango Delta. At
Kwara, you will discover why the Okavango is considered one of the
ecological wonders of Africa and indeed the world. It is mysterious,
calming, unpredictable and very wild.
The
honeymoon suite with its own special bathroom with an antique slipper
bath with the traditional ball and claw feet. Hire a private vehicle
and have the wilderness almost to your selves – enhanced by your own
guide and tracker who will cater to your interests unobtrusively. The
memory will live forever.

Our
guests can enjoy a diverse wildlife experience all year-round, but the
focus is definitely on the water. Whether gliding along in the special
silence of a mekoro dug out canoe through crystal-clear waters or
visiting the famous Godikwe lagoon, where you can stand on a boat
literally eye to eye with thousands of herons, storks and other
nesting birds. Kwara is the nearest camp to this famous spectacle in
Moremi Game Reserve.
Other
species you can encounter through the channels and rivers are
kingfishers, pygmy geese, fish eagles, jacanas, darters and if you're
really fortunate, the elusive Pels Fishing Owl.
Along with the bird watching, we're able to offer fishing (both
spinner and fly), walks with a guide on one of the many palm-fringed
islands and also spectacular night drives on top of our morning and
afternoon drives. The beauty and charm of Kwara will captivate you.
The area is also home to a variety of wild animals including, lechwe,
sitatunga, reedbuck, bushbuck, hippo, crocodiles, elephant, buffalo,
sable, roan, zebra, giraffe, wildebeest, impala and tsessebe. Lion,

Delta and regularly seen.
