Kwando Lagoon Camp offers luxury safari accommodation that is great for honeymooners and family holidays. A water camp bordering the Okavango Delta and Chobe in the Linyanti/Kwando Concession; on the banks of the Kwando River. Lagoon Camps nestles in a shady area on the banks of the Kwando River where a band of the riverine forest is interspersed with wide-open plains. This is ideal for game viewing.
The greater Kwando-Linyanti region spans an area 40 times the size of Manhattan! Sprawling over 232,000 hectares of unspoiled wilderness in northern Botswana (opposite Namibia’s Zambezi Region). This is a piece of very wild bush, and its astonishing ecological integrity supports incredible biodiversity. It sits on a critical elephant migration route. The northern tract, near Lagoon Camp, is dominated by the Kwando River and its rambling riverine forests. The other camp in this concession is Lebala, which is to the south of Lagoon Camp. Consequently, you are guaranteed an exclusive wilderness experience. The concession has 50km of exclusive river frontage. The western side of this vast area consists of dense woodland.
The thatched main area of the camp is multi leveled. The top area is the library which almost always has a breeze sweeping through. The main area was designed to fit perfectly into the natural landscape and allow views of the river and wetlands; from all areas.
Just past the bar / lounge area is the plunge pool. From here it’s a short meander to the deck where a comfortable swing chair awaits.

Nestled under ebony and marula trees the spacious, thatch covered tents are the perfect place to relax during the day. And soak up the atmosphere while looking across the lagoon towards Namibia. Each tent has a deck with comfortable loungers, the sliding door leads into a sunken lounge area with a gauze window offering spectacular views over the lagoon.
Go up a step to the open plan bedroom area, with a large dressing area behind. This leads to the bathroom, with double sinks, a claw foot bath, an indoor shower, a separate flush toilet, and also an outdoor shower. The bathrooms boast the same spectacular view as the lounge/bedroom area.

Activities at Lagoon Camp
Game drives operate using a guide and tracker which adds to the experience on two levels. You have two sets of eyes searching out the action, looking for tracks; this ensures a good chance of sightings, especially predators. In addition, having the tracker out front concentrating on tracking; means that the guide is able to talk to clients, keep them informed and answer all their questions; in order to have a more relaxed, convivial game drive atmosphere.
As Lagoon is in a private concession they have the opportunity to drive off-road in search of sightings. Therefore, they have often been able to follow the wild dogs on their hunts. It also means night drives with spotlights are possible. 30% of fascinating mammals are mainly active at night so you have more opportunities to find them.
Another special feature of the camp is the afternoon river cruise. The unique double-deck boat allows several guests the opportunity to drift along the river; while enjoying spectacular views, mammals, and bird life while sipping at your ‘sun downer’ of choice.
Fishing is offered at Lagoon Camp for 10 months of the year. This excludes January and February as this is peak breeding season. You will be provided with basic equipment. If you are an avid fly fisher; we advise you to bring your own equipment.

Private vehicles are only available for the full stay at any one camp and not part thereof. Booking a private vehicle includes a guide.
Should you wish to book a specific guide, there is a fee of $325 in addition to the private vehicle. Fees for re-positioning and re-locating the Kwando Private Guide are chargeable based on Moremi Air standard rates.
