You’ll start at the adventurous Splash Camp, which is situated in the Delta’s Kwara Reserve and set up around a pan that attracts a lot of wildlife! Next up is Kwando Lagoon Camp, a classic camp on the banks of a channel in the Linyanti’s Kwando Reserve. Finally, you’ll head to Lebala Camp. Also located in the Kwando Reserve, Lebala is set on floodplains of the River Kwando. All properties are operated by Kwando Safaris, and you’ll benefit from a long-stay discounted rate equivalent to approximately 5 per cent off per night! The offer is valid all year round for guests staying six or seven nights at Kwando Safaris’ properties.

During your time at Splash, you’ll enjoy expertly guided game drives, walking safaris, boat cruises, mokoro excursions, fishing, and visits to local heronries. The availability of some of these activities is season dependent, so please contact a member of YZ for further information. Kwando Lagoon also offers game drives, walks, boat cruises, and fishing – and night drives too! And Lebala provides vehicle and walking safaris, with plenty of wildlife highlights.

After your stay at Splash Camp, you’ll return to Kwara Airstrip via shared road transfer and fly to Kwando Airstrip, before another shared transfer to Kwando Lagoon Camp.

Spaced along the edges of the water, each offers a pleasant open-plan bedroom/lounge, an en-suite full bathroom, and a private deck. Activities from Lagoon include day and night game drives – and you can also enjoy short walking safaris. You can fish too, and embark on a super-scenic boat cruise along the Kwando river.

The final two nights of your trip are spent at Lebala Camp, which is also in the Kwando Reserve. You’ll have a shared road transfer here from Kwando Lagoon Camp.

Communal areas include an open-plan lounge/bar, a dining room where guests eat with guides, a viewing deck, a plunge pool, and a fire-pit where you can talk safari with your fellow travellers. You’ll have much to discuss following excursions into Kwando, on day and night game drives as well as walking safaris.

And after each exhilarating day in the reserve, you can bed down in your comfy en-suite tent, which offers a comfortable bedroom, separate lounge area, and private balcony!

On the final day of your trip, you’ll return to Kwando Airstrip via shared road transfer and fly back to Maun Airport, arriving in good time for your flight/s home.
