Kwando Lagoon Camp Botswana

Kwando Lagoon Camp, located on the calm banks of the Kwando River, features eight deluxe safari tents that provide unequalled access to outstanding wildlife-watching chances.

The camp, known for sightings of lion, cheetah, leopard, and wild dogs, overlooks the gorgeous Linyanti Wetlands, which provide a variety of habitats ranging from large plains to deep woods for exploration. Nestled among tall ebony and marula trees, the camp provides a tranquil atmosphere, with elephants and hippos regularly observed close by.

The afternoon river cruise on a double-deck boat is a camp highlight, allowing visitors to enjoy stunning views and plenty of animal sightings while drinking sundowners. Anglers may also go angling from March to December, which is open season.
