Overlooking a secluded lagoon in the northern Okavango Delta, Kwara Camp offers the ultimate Delta experience. Its location allows access to the permanent waterways of the Delta as well as expansive dry land areas, admired for their quality game viewing.
Within the exclusive concession in which it is located, Kwara offers a wide variety of activities. In addition to game drives (day and night), the camp offers mokoro trips, and fishing excursions (spinning equipment is provided but fly fishermen need to bring their own equipment). Boat trips are on a double-decker boat that visits the Godikwe Lagoon in the waters of the Moremi Game Reserve, which is known for the abundant varieties of bird life, especially during nesting season.

Kwara Camp is located on an island of tall trees, each of the 8 tents is situated on a deck, (some are raised), overlooking the seasonal floodplain or the lagoon. All are en-suite with a flush toilet, double sinks and an outdoor shower. In addition each tent has a private veranda with deckchairs, the perfect place to relax and take in the magnificent views and soak up the atmosphere. There is also a honeymoon tent which boasts a free standing claw-foot bath. The rooms and main area are simply and elegantly decorated with Zimbabwean teak furniture which complements the atmosphere of the camp, many guests have come to think of Kwara as a home away from home.
The hide and orientation area at Kwara Camp provide extensive maps and spoor or track samples where first time safari guests can learn about the environment and wildlife in detail. Kwara Camp has a well-stocked bar, tea and coffee station, charging point and small library. There is also a small pool and curio shop.
Game drives are operated using both a guide and a tracker which adds to the experience on two levels. There are two sets of eyes searching out the action and looking for tracks which ensures a good chance of sightings, especially predators. In addition, having the tracker sitting out front, concentrating on tracking, enables the guide to talk to clients, keeping them informed and answering all their questions. As Kwara Camp is in a private concession you have the opportunity to drive off-road in search of sightings - this often gives guests the chance to follow wild dogs on their hunts, for example. It also means you will have the opportunity to drive at night with spotlights. The mokoro trip is the quintessential delta experience. There is nothing more relaxing than poling along the lagoon and channels with your guide, soaking up the atmosphere and seeing things from a totally different perspective. The excursion is broken by morning tea on an island followed by a short, non-strenuous walk to have a chance to experience the bush from ground-level before heading back to camp in the mokoro. Fishing is also offered at Kwara for 10 months of the year, but is prohibited in January and February as this is peak breeding season. Basic equipment is supplied, but avid fly-anglers are advised to bring their own equipment. There is a double deck boat available at Kwara which is the perfect way to travel along the waterways and have a great view of what is going on at the water’s edge and beyond. From August to December guests can also visit the nearby heronries which are currently located in the Godikwe and Gcobega lagoons along the main boating channel. The number of birds fluctuates from year to year, depending on the conditions they find favourable, it is however a very worthwhile experience for birders.
Kwara Camp is set on an island populated with tall trees within the large Kwara private concession. Spanning an area of 175 000 hectares (432 000 acres), guests are guaranteed an exclusive experience.
