LEBALA CAMP
KWANDO
CAMP
Lebala
Camp is hidden in the southern portion of the 232 000 ha (550 000
acres) Kwando wilderness in Northern Botswana. The camp accommodates
16 guests in 8 spacious luxurious safari tents, each
built on a raised teak deck and laid out with maximum comfort and
privacy in mind. Lebala is the Tswana word for wide-open
plains, and each tent has extensive views over expansive tracts of
African plains and wetlands, that comprise part of the Kwando-Linyanti
flood plain system. The
tents have an entrance foyer with a reading and writing area, a
spacious bedroom area, private bathroom with reed
enclosed open-air shower, and side entrance to preserve
privacy. The
endless view from the large windows and decks across the vast plains,
make Lebala one of the finest wilderness camps in Africa.

is an organised Family Safari destination – click here for

GAME
VIEWING / ACTIVITIES:
The
game viewing at Lebala is amongst the best in Africa with the large
concentrations of game such as elephant,
lion, wild dog, leopard, cheetah, giraffe, zebra, tsessebe, kudu,
lechwe, impala, wildebeest, waterbuck, roan & Sable with
excellent visibility on the plains, having a reputation for predator
action with the lions known for their ability to hunt and kill mega
fauna like buffalo, hippo and elephant. Lebala is famous for
elephant sightings as is neighbouring Lagoon camp, 2 hours drive
north. There are no water activities
offered due to the presence of large numbers of hippo and elephant in
the channels.
·
Game drives
Morning
and night game drives are conducted by our specialist guides and
trackers in open safari vehicles.
At night, spotlights enable
sightings of rare and elusive species such as, leopard, selous
mongoose, small spotted genet, and aardwolf as well as other wildlife
and nocturnal bird species.
·
Bush
Walks
Bush
walks are at guides’ discretion due to seasonal high elephant
concentrations.
KWANDO
The
Kwando concession is situated in Northern Botswana to the northeast of
the Okavango Delta in the heart of big game country. The Kwando
concession is 2,320 square km or 550,000 acres in extent, making it
one of the largest private safari areas in Africa. The Kwando River
forms our eastern boundary giving us over 80km (50 miles) of exclusive
permanent river frontage, with abundant hippo and crocodiles.
The
Kwando-Linyanti flood plain system is an intricate labyrinth of
waterways, reedbeds, islands, floodplains, bush, scrub and trees.
AFRICA MEMORIES TIP:
Be
on the lookout for Lechwe, the most aquatic antelope after the
Sitatunga, which can outrun its predators in shallow water thanks to
its powerful hindquarters which propel it in long leaps and elongated
hooves which keep it from sinking.
Birdlife in Botswana is just beautiful – sit in the hide at
Lebala and enjoy the sights and sounds of the birds….take it all in
and enjoy.
