Why Kwando?
Planning a safari trip is a daunting experience. And an expensive one, so you don’t want to make a mistake. You did the right thing and reached out to a travel agent, and they did the right thing and recommended us. Why? Because we’re the real deal.
Three ways in which we will turn your safari into a Kwando Wildlife Experience:
1. Really wild places
Become one of a select few
We operate some of the best private concessions in Botswana (and that means in all of Africa), where you can follow animals off-road and at night without the interruption of fences, tar roads, or crowds.
By limiting the number of camps in each area, we’ve created (amongst) the highest density of wild predators per camp in Africa.
This is the remote and wild Africa of legend that only a handful of famous explorers were once privileged to visit. Now you can too.
2. Focused on safari
Enjoy close encounters of the uncrowded kind
At Kwando, we believe that less is more. Our policy is to host fewer guests and provide you with a more intimate and personalised wildlife experience.
We’re able to take you closer by ensuring that each guest enjoys a window seat (we restrict the number of guests per vehicle) and limiting the number of vehicles per sighting.
Our signature guide & tracker teams, our specially designed menus with flexible meal times (because wild animals don’t have schedules), and our ability to off-road means that if it’s out there, we’ll find it.*
*Our lawyers questioned this statement, but we back our people.
3. Local champion
Create a rippling impact whilst enjoying authentic Botswana hospitality
We’re a proudly 100% citizen owned Botswana company meaning you’ll be hosted by the warm and friendly Batswana people who call these wild, remote places home.
For every night you stay with us, you’ll help us to not only empower, but to champion our people, our culture and our communities.
You’ll come to Botswana for the wildlife, but you’ll return because of our people.
