Safari Circuit itinerary

Two nights in each camp will give you the time to soak in the entirety of the location and the experience.

Your first stop, a mere 25 minutes flying time, will be at Nxai Pan, deep in the heart of Nxai Pan National Park - The Nxai Pans were once part of the great lake that covered central Botswana. Nxai pan is well known for its huge springbok population and once the rains have started, gemsbok, elephant> and zebras migrate to the region. You could also choose to use Tau Pan in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve to start with or add it onto your circuit – Tau Pan Camp is situated inside the world famous Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) right on the edge of the beautiful Tau Pan.
After your time in our magnificent and unique desert areas – it is a short flight to Kwara , or it's intimate sister camp, Little Kwara, deep in the crystal clear permanent waters of the Okavango Delta. Time at Kwara will reveal why the Delta, with all its remarkable plant, bird and animal life, is unique in the world.

The water experience, either fishing, on a mekoro or exploring the channels and rivers by boat, is spectacular.

From Kwara, it’s a flight north to Lebala at the southern edge of the massive Kwando concession. You may be tempted to while away the hours in the luxurious tents, but the promise of some of Africa’s best game viewing will hopefully lure you onto a game drive and out across the stunning wide open plains around the camp.

The intimate and tranquil atmosphere of Lagoon , some 30 kilometers away is next. Set on the banks of an oxbow of the Kwando River, Lagoon is remote and beautiful. For many months of the year you’ll see elephant drinking from the water next to the camp and witness the huge herds of buffalo that keep close proximity to the Kwando River.

Wild dogs, lion, cheetah, leopard and hyena are all never far away from their food sources. Over the years, many of our guests have been fortunate enough to see some of the incredible interactions between predator and prey species. Sometimes, even predator against predator.

These are ancient struggles that very few people in the world are privileged to witness.

To round out your Kwando Safari, you can choose to spend some time in Kasane on the Chobe River or continue onto Livingstone or Victoria Falls – we can recommend some wonderful properties for you to use.

Victoria Falls is one of the natural wonders of the world and whether you choose to white water raft, absorb the culture of an authentic African village experience, take a sunset cruise or even play golf, there is a tremendous range of activities.

This is a "best of" guide to our camps and facilities. An ideal package if you have the time. Of course there are many permutations of the above itinerary to suit the specific requirements of our guests.
