The Kwara Story

If you like your safaris immersive, exclusive, and diverse, then this is the place for you.

Kwara is all about variety — game drives that can go into the thick of things contrasted by serene mokoro trips and motorboat cruises along papyrus-lined channels in the Okavango Delta. Night drives? Absolutely. Because why stop when the stars come out? The predators don’t.

Kwara Camp is one of the oldest – and most beloved – camps in the Delta. It became famous in guiding and hunting circles for its incredible game density and developed a cult following among safari-goers in the know with a preference for an authentic safari experience.

When a camp is designed well, you notice immediately. But when a camp is designed exceptionally, it blends into its surrounds seamlessly, invisibly enhancing your experience. The latest iteration of the reborn Kwara ramps up the luxury with bigger tents, enhanced food and premium drinks, whilst remaining true to its origins as the real-deal safari stay.

Activities

Kwara Camp is strategically situated at the heart of the Okavango Delta, nestled on a forested island within the game-rich Kwara Private Concession.

Sharing permanent waterways with the Moremi Game Reserve, this renowned private concession is home to vast herds of plains game – and the predators that stalk them.

What our guests say about Kwara Camp

Loved the light aircraft ride in. It was noticeable we were in a large private reserve, and we truly felt as though we were in the wilderness.

I think what stood out for me here (our last camp), was that it was noticeable that there were very few vehicles in the area. We had a good welcome and the staff were so engaged over the two nights, great food, great service and staff who were prepared to go the extra mile.

Incredible experience. It would be quicker to list the negatives; there aren’t any!

Kwara is a stunning camp, lovely accommodation and the communal areas are superbly maintained. The pics you see on the website are exactly as you see it in real life. All the staff just cannot do enough for you and are equally attentive and pleasant, although extra shout to Porter for Lynda’s lovely surprise birthday celebration on our last night.
