Camp Kwando

Nestled on the banks of the Kwando river (Zambezi Region – Caprivi, Namibia), Camp Kwando invites you to come and explore the hidden treasures of an untamed land. Capture the spirit of the African bush while sipping sundowners from the beautiful overhead deck and experience the thrill of the hauntingly beautiful call of the African fish eagle

A range of accommodation options are available. The island accommodates thirteen thatched tents on the bank of the river. Each one has two beds. Every bed is equipped with a mosquito net. Built on poles with a deck overlooking the river. 

Six larger luxury chalets on stilts are also available on higher ground, built on high poles, made of wood and canvas, along with thatched roofs. Conveniently placed in the middle of the trees, they allow for an incredible view of the Botswana plains. Each chalet on stilts has a large bedroom, stylishly furnished; a large en-suite bathroom as well as an expanding deck.

The camping is situated between the main building and the island. The surface is covered by grass and magnificent trees providing shade during the hotter hours of the day. Four private campsites provide a lot of space and have private ablutions as well as a braai place, hot/cold water and electricity during generator hours. Campers are more than welcome at our bar and of course to use our pool.
