Kwara Camp Okavanga Delta
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 kilometers, bordering the Moremi Reserve.
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.

Accommodations
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.

Activities
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.
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.
