Lebala Camp accommodation is situated in the Kwando Linyanti area bordering Chobe National Park and the Okavango Delta. This area is renowned for excellent wild dog sightings and other predators and Lebala can do night game drives.
On arrival, guests walk over a wooden bridge that spans a winding seasonal waterway. The elevated walkway leads into the lounge and bar area under thatch. The path continues to the thatched dining area and onto the pathways that lead to each tent. En route to the tents is the plunge pool, Lapa, and magnificent fireplace. The perfect setting for after dinner drinks and exchanging your safari stories.
The nine tents, are accessed via a sandy walkway. The tents are on raised Zimbabwean teak decks. There is a spacious bedroom area, a bathroom area that includes double basins, a claw foot bathtub a separate toilet, and an outside double shower. The tents are kept cool with gauze windows to let the breeze flow through and fans.
Lebala Camp bathroom
One of the tents has a smaller second bedroom with a shared bathroom for families (see below for family policies).
The Kwando Concession Area
The Kwando concession is the largest in northern Botswana covering 232 000 ha of unfenced wilderness areas. There are only three camps situated within this private concession. Both are part of Kwando Safaris portfolio. They are 4 Rivers on the little explored western side of the concession. The other is Lagoon, which is to the north of Lebala. Consequently, an exclusive wilderness experience is guaranteed.
The concession has 50km of exclusive river frontage. The western side of this vast area consists of dense woodland. But Lebala, the Tswana word for wide open plains, has expansive tracts of African Plains and wetlands. This makes it ideal for following predators over these open horizons. This system is an intricate labyrinth of waterways, reed beds, islands, floodplains, bush, scrub, and trees.
What to do on your Botswana Safari
Lebala Camp Activities ↓
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, and 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 more able to talk to clients, keep them informed and answer all their questions, it leads to a more enjoyable game drive atmosphere.
Cheetahs with impala
As Lebala is in a private concession we have the opportunity to drive off-road in search of sightings. Therefore, we 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.
The Kwando concession is also great for Okavango Birding. On night drives nocturnal species can be found, including owls.
Carmine Bee-Eater bird
It is also possible to do guided walks all year. The distance and area for each walk may vary seasonally at the guides’ discretion.
