Kwara
is located in the remote northern part of the stunning
Okavango Delta within the private Kwara 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.
Kwara
also boast a 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.
Like the other Kwando camps, Kwara offers exclusive and
private traverse for all its varied activities.
Here
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 Kwara 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, hyaena, wild dog,
leopard and cheetah are abundant in this part of the Delta and
regularly seen.
Our highly skilled chefs prepare delicious meals, to round off
a perfect day in Kwara's watery wonderland.
