CAMP
Tau Pan Camp is situated inside the world famous
Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) right on
Animals and Birds: The Camp NXAI PAN
CAMP
Nxai Pan
National Park lies just north of the Maun-Nata road and adjoins Animals and Birds The Camp: LEBALA
CAMP
Lebala means “wide open spaces” in Setswana and
the scenery is dominated by vast plains with scattered palms and tree
clumps backed by wooded savannas.
This wild expanse is contrasted with the casual elegance and
luxury of the camp itself. Lebala Camp is situated 30 kilometres to
the south of Lagoon Camp and fronts onto the Linyanti Wetlands. Open grasslands scattered with Illala Palms stretch to
the south and west of Lebala. The perennial and southerly flowing
Kwando River disappears into the vast marshes before emerging as the
Linyanti river, flowing in a north easterly direction. The triangle
formed in Namibia by this direction change is home to the Mamili
National Park. The eight spacious tents are unique and were designed
specifically for this camp. Each one is built on a raised teak deck,
laid out with maximum comfort and privacy in mind. The tents have an
entrance foyer with a reading and writing area, en-suite bathrooms
with Victorian clawfoot bathtubs, "his and hers" washbasins
and flush toilets. The bathrooms lead out to a reed enclosed open-air
shower with hot and cold running water, powered by LP gas for hot
water on demand.
Each secluded tent has its own sundeck, and is set
back among the trees. The endless vistas from the large windows and
decks across the vast plains, make Lebala one of the finest wilderness
camps in Africa. After dark, spotlights are switched on and the game
drives expose guests to nocturnal sightings of rare and elusive
species such as, leopard, Selous Mongoose, small spotted genet, and
aardwolf, to name a few. Nocturnal bird species that are encountered
include Natal Nightjar, Pennantwinged Nightjar and a large variety of
owls. Mouth-watering fare is prepared by the chefs and
served in the open-sided dining room. After dinner there is a
wonderful camp fire around which to sip a coffee or enjoy a nightcap.
As you drift off to sleep, you will often hear hippo grazing out of
water near your tent. In the warmer months, feel free to take a
refreshing swim in the Lebala pool! Lebala has a staff complement of 22 to cater to
guests. The camp balances understated elegance with untamed Africa to
perfection. LAGOON CAMP Lagoon Camp lies on the shady banks of the Kwando
River among tall and ancient African Ebony and Marula trees, under the
watchful gaze of the resident hippos. Lagoon Camp accommodates only 16 guests in 8 twin
bedded luxury safari-style tents. Each tent looks out over the water
and has private en-suite facilities, including 24 hour hot and cold
running water, open-air showers, flush toilets and modern amenities. Over the years, many of our guests have commented that
Lagoon Camp stands out as one of the most beautiful settings of any
safari camp. Morning and night game drives are conducted by our
specialist guides and trackers in open safari vehicles. This area is
home to huge herds of elephants and buffalo. There are few places in
Africa where such concentrated numbers of these animals exist,
especially in the dry season. The shady, treed environment of the camp hosts a great
variety of birds and squirrels that visit daily. A family of hippo and
an elephant or three are regularly sighted from the tents. This
contributes to the relaxed calm that prevails at Lagoon. Among the great variety of antelope species found at
Lagoon, the endangered Sable and Roan are often seen. Seasonally,
large herds of elephant drink almost daily at the riverbank in front
of the camp, in full view of the guests. The big herds attract big
predators. The lions of Kwando are famous for their elephant, hippo
and buffalo kills. Playful spotted necked otters are commonly seen
performing in the Lagoon right in front of the tents. Boat cruises along the Kwando River provide excellent
opportunities for birding. We also offer specialist fly-fishing and
spinner fishing for Tiger fish and Bream. Some excellent catches have
been made by Kwando guests. Lagoon's complement of staff is there to
look after you quietly and efficiently, so as to ensure a relaxing,
peaceful stay. There is a guest pool in which to cool off during the
hot months. Freshly
prepared delicious meals are served in the thatched dining room
overlooking the tranquil waters of the lagoon. KWARA CAMP 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 kilometres, bordering the Moremi
Reserve. No trip to Botswana is complete without a visit to the Delta,
the shimmering and unique watery jewel in the middle of the Kalahari
Desert. 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.
Hire a private vehicle and have the wilderness almost
to your selves – enhanced by your own guide and tracker who will
cater to your interests unobtrusively. The memory will live forever
Other species you can encounter through the channels
and rivers are kingfishers, pygmy geese, fish eagles, jacanas, darters
and if you're really fortunate, the elusive Pel’s Fishing Owl. The Kwara area is also home to a variety of wild
animals including, lechwe, sitatunga, reedbuck, bushbuck, hippo,
crocodiles, elephant, buffalo, sable, roan, zebra, giraffe,
wildebeest, impala and tsessebe. Lion, hyena, wild dog, leopard and
cheetah are abundant in this part of the Delta and regularly seen.
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. HOME / CHITABE
