With the Kwando Kwara Camp Intosol offers you a luxury safari camp, which is perfectly located for exceptional safaris in the stunning Okavango Delta region.
The Kwara Camp is located in the Kwando Concession, in the northern section of the Okavango Delta. It is situated on the border of a wide floodplain, which holds water all year round.
It is a beautiful wilderness area more than 1,700 square kilometres large and limited only by the famous Moremi Game Reserve.

Being a private concession, safaris at Kwando can be operated at any time, day and night. Without doubt, no trip to Botswana is complete without having seen the sun glittering on the many canals, rivers and lagoons in the Delta.
There are many different habitats at Kwara: from the clear waters of the Delta lined with reeds and peppered with serene lagoons, to open grasslands or the Mopane Woodlands. It is a spectacular landscape featuring large herds of wild animals and the accompanying predators. It all amounts to one extraordinary safari experience!

For a little rest, pull up to one of the many islands, settle down beneath a shady tree and cherish the view across the lagoon. Having rested, set off on a foot safari - your guides are experienced and armed - to explore the island end to end, before climbing back into the Mokoro to paddle homewards.

Kwando offers Big 5 safaris in cooperation with the Songwe Village. Just like other camps, Kwando Safaris has exclusive rights over the private concession. Guests experience the fascinating wildlife in the Okavango Delta with a special focus on water safaris.
Gliding down the channels in a Mokoro, a canoe made by hollowing out a tree, affords you with the opportunity to spot herons, storks or the mighty kingfisher from close up. Do not forget to bring your binoculars!
Apart from Mokoro trips, Kwando Kwara offers fishing and bushwalking. There are night safaris as well as morning and afternoon game drives. Kwara is located in an area, which is home to a great diversity of species.
Lechwes call Kwando their home just like the very rarely seen Sitatunga; both are found exclusively in the Delta. Reedbucks, bushbucks, hippos, crocodiles, elephants, buffalos, Roan and Sable antelopes as well as zebras, giraffes, gnus, impalas and Tsessebes all make their home in the Okavango Delta.
With such great diversity, it is no surprise that the predators are never far away: lions, hyenas, wild dogs, the shy leopard and the rare cheetah are around, waiting to pounce.
