LITTLE KWARA CAMP
Okavango, Botswana

Introduction

Little Kwara Camp is situated in a large private concession on the edge of the permanent waters of the Okavango Delta, bordering the Moremi Game Reserve. Hidden amongst the trees, this intimate camp promises a private and exclusive safari experience. It is situated in a magnificent wilderness area and offers 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.

Camp Description

Little Kwara Camp is an intimate four-tent camp with a fifth pilot or guide tent available. Little Kwara Camp is completely separate from Kwara main Camp. The tents are spacious, and are elevated into the tree canopy on wooden decks each with its own private veranda. Each tent has its own en suite facilities comprising bathroom with bath and an inside/outside shower. This is an ideal camp for exclusive use by small groups and families. At Kwara, you will discover why the Okavango is considered one of the ecological wonders of Africa and indeed the world. It is mysterious, calming, unpredictable and very wild.

Game Viewing

Little Kwara complements the Kwando concession experience by offering a spectacularly different setting, scenery and activities from those offered in the Kwando concession. The Delta is world renowned for its biodiversity and contrasts – a must see on any African safari. The spectacular scenery with scattered herds of plains game and the ever-attendant predators helps to enhance your safari. Due to the labyrinth of waterways, islands, seasonal flood plains and bush, Little Kwara is always interesting and varied. Taking a morning mekoro trip, moving silently through the flood plains is a memorable experience and the highlight for many. The trip is broken by an island visit where guests rest in the shade of the large trees while surveying the surrounding delta waters and lagoons. After the refreshment break, trained and armed guides take you on a guided walk on the island before your relaxing return to camp by mekoro. Little Kwara Camp offers all the following activities, mekoro trips year round, double deck boat cruise, island walks as well as game drives both off road and at night. Fishing is also offered on request, using normal reel and rod fishing - flying fishing enthusiasts need to bring their own equipment. Expert guides and trackers accompany guests on all game activities. Night drives are a highlight and is important, as up to 30% of interesting mammal species are mainly active at night. These include leopard, lion, wild dog, hyena and smaller predators. The presence of permanent water at Little Kwara ensures excellent year-round game viewing. The permanent water also ensures that mekoro trips (dugout canoes) can take place in shallow water throughout the year. Little Kwara is one of a handful of camps able to make this claim of being a wet and dry camp all year around.
