Game Drives
Every day is different. Our guides and trackers have a wealth of knowledge and will give you a complete picture of life in these abundant eco systems. How everything from termites and dung beetles, even grasses and soils, right up to lion, cheetah and elephant, contribute to the balance of life. Not all safari operations have trackers on vehicles, but it's our belief that another set of trained eyes are an essential part of your drive, increasing the odds of seeing something special. Also this allows the guide to concentrate his or her attention on the guests, answering questions and looking after their needs. A big advantage of our set up is that we permit just six guests per vehicle in two rows of seats. We believe this makes for a far more intimate safari experience and ensures more leg room and overall comfort. You'll stop for sundowners on the evening drive, winter and summer, where you can absorb the wonderful silence of the bush and the sunset, with a cooling or warming drink. In 4 of the Kwando camps (Kwara, Little Kwara, Lebala and Lagoon) - we are all on private land, so we’re not restricted by roads, nor the time of day. At Kwando, if you wish to hunt with the lions deep into the African night, it’s entirely your prerogative! As we've mentioned elsewhere, just remember, the drives are in open vehicles, so a hat and sunscreen all through the year is a must ... and very warm clothing, sweaters, jackets, gloves and scarves are highly recommended for winter (May through August).We also provide each guest with animal and bird checklists, which you can tick off along the way.

Whether you're starting the day before sunrise to view the animal kingdom's early risers or tracking the great nocturnal beasts with spotlights at night, the game viewing experience with Kwando Safaris is a holiday highlight for most people. Because of the unspoiled wilderness, the absence of fences and other man made infrastructures, we're able to deliver the Africa you dreamed about. Wide open plains alive with game and palm trees or winding waterways teeming with birdlife. The great herds of elephant, buffalo and other animals are a Kwando trademark. Your game drives centre on the movement of animals, which are in turn dependent on the season and the rainfall. You might be hunting way off road with a pack of wild dogs one day or sitting silently watching elephant drink and bathe the next. Game drives themselves are an incredible adventure.
