GAME
VIEWING / ACTIVITIES:
The
combination of the maze of waterways, islands, seasonal flood planes
and bush are an idyllic territory for herds of plains game and
opportunistic predators, with ultimate viewing opportunities being as
follows:
-
Mekoro dug out canoe trips
Mekoro
(dug out canoe), made from fiberglass therefore conserving the trees,
move silently through the flood plains, poled by our guides which are
trained and armed. The mekoro trip will take you to an island, where
you can enjoy a refreshment break and a guided walk before your
relaxing return to camp by mekoro. A memorable experience and the
highlight for many. Kwara,
due to the presence of permanent water, ensures good game viewing and
mekoro (dugout canoes) trips throughout the year.
·
Boat Cruises
Double
deck boat cruises enable you to view the spectacular scenery with
all-round visibility above the reed beds in the Okavango Delta.
·
Guided
walks
Our
highly enlightening and informative guided walks focus on the
eco-systems and smaller creatures of the African bush.
·
Morning
& night game drives
Morning
drives start soon after sunrise and are conducted by experienced
guides and trackers. These informative drives last between 3 and 4
hours during which one can expect to see a variety of animals and
birds.
Night
drives are a highlight – a chance to see nocturnal animals such as
leopard, lion, wild dog, hyena and smaller predators, with the aid of
spotlights. Maximum of 6
guests per vehicle in individual seats ensures maximal comfort and all
drives are conducted on and off-road. Leave the camp late afternoon,
stop for sunset drinks before carrying on into the night. Return to
camp for dinner.
·
Fishing
Fishing
in the delta for bream, pike, catfish and tiger fish is most enjoyable
and relaxing.
Fishing
tackle is provided for spinner fishing, which is available at most of
our camps. Guests are welcome to bring their own fly-fishing
equipment.
OKAVANGO DELTA
The
15,000 square km Okavango Delta is formed by the Okavango River, which
fans out over northwest Botswana. There are only 3 inland deltas in
the world and all are in Africa but the Okavango Delta is the only
really wild delta remaining. Kwara
camp and Little Kwara camp are located centrally in the large Kwara
concession on the border of the world famous Moremi Game Reserve in
the fringe of the permanent Okavango Delta.
The area is one of the few in the Okavango Delta on permanent
water that can also do game drives all year round.
AFRICA MEMORIES TIP:
Take
in everything that Kwara offer. Even
if you aren’t a fisherman, try it! Once you hook that tiger or bream
and enjoy the fight as you reel it in, you are hooked! (And the
stories in the bar afterwards can be most entertaining.)
