The 232 000-hectare (573 272 acre) private Kwando concession is fronted by more than 80 kilometres (50 miles) of the Kwando River, which divides north-western Botswana from the Caprivi Strip. This offers exclusive access to one of the most remote and unexplored wildlife strongholds left in Botswana.
It incorporates the Linyanti wetlands, huge tracts of mopane forest and vast open plains. This variety of natural habitat makes Kwando unique, drawing wildlife and birdlife in abundance. Herds of elephant and buffalo roam the plains adjoining the Kwando River, whilst lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog and sable are frequently sighted.
Kwando Lagoon Camp comprises six classic Meru tents set under massive ebony and marula trees with shady lawns and a view of the lagoon. Each tent has a bedroom area furnished in Rhodesian teak with en suite reed-enclosed facilities including twin hand basins, w.c and a large shower open to the night stars. The lounge, bar and dining area is under thatch.
Activities, conducted by professional guides, include game drives in open game-viewing vehicles (the afternoon drive incorporates a night drive), boating on the river (water levels permitting) and walking.
