Kwando
Lagoon Camp - Northern Linyanti -(Botswana)
|
Location:
Lagoon Camp lies on
the shady banks of the Kwando River among tall and ancient African
Ebony and Marula trees, under the watchful gaze of the resident
hippos.
Shaded under massive African Ebony
trees, situated centrally, in the extensive Kwando wilderness of 232;
000 ha. (550 000 acres) is Kwando Lagoon Camp. |
 |
|
|
Accommodation:
Kwando Lagoon Camp
comprises 6 spacious purpose designed tents with views over the
private lagoon formed by the ever-changing Kwando River.
Each tent
comprises a bedroom area with a spacious bathroom en suite. The
bathroom has a double basin set in an indigenous Mukwa wood stand
and a flush loo.
The spacious outdoor reeded showers capture the
essence of Africa that is Kwando |
 |
|
|
Facilities:
The tents are furnished in the best teak
furniture that Zimbabwean master craftsmen can create.
The shady
cool interiors are produced by a canvas flysheet under reeds, which
are also set under massive Ebony and Marula trees with shady lawns.
A small plunge pool is available to cool off during the long summer
days. The resident hippos entertain our guests as they sit in the
deck chairs on the decks in front of their tents. |

Game Viewing / Activities:
Guests arrive from the airstrip through
open plains into our shaded reception area and amble into the
peaceful lounge, dinning and bar area, under thatch. They continue
through the thatched dinning area onto the pathways leading to their
personal hideaway and tent.
Their view is of expansive Africa over
the peaceful lagoon and reedbeds that lead to the Kwando-Linyanti
flood plain system.
This system is an intricate labyrinth of
waterways, reedbeds, islands, floodplains, bush, scrub and trees.
However, the river system around Lagoon camp is a maze of ox bow
lakes, fossil riverbeds, reedbeds and riverine forests. |

|
Lagoon offers regular and reliable sightings of
elephant, lion, wild dog, leopard, cheetah, giraffe, zebra, tsessebe,
impala, wildebeest, buffalo and waterbuck in stunning settings.
Sudden lines of tall lead wood trees demarcate the flood plains,
many hundreds of years old.
Shady grasslands give way to the
striking silver cluster leaf woodlands that are tended by the
elephant, maintaining the characteristic broken gardens effect.
|
 |
|
West of the floodplains are the endless mopane
woodlands that sustain the large herds in the wet season.In
the dry season Lagoon offers a mega fauna experience unmatched
in Africa with sightings of up to 1000 elephant in a single
game drive.
The lion prides regularly hunt elephant in this remote region, a
habit undocumented elsewhere in Africa. Herds of up to 2 000
buffalo also attract the attention of lion and hyena and our
trained guides scan the horizons for the dust storms generated
by thousands of buffalo hooves. |

|
|
The night drives present a drama of epic proportions when the buffalo
move through the parched floodplains. Packs of wild dogs also provide
excitement for many months when they have pups, motivating them to
undertake action packed hunts twice a day. Lagoon is peaceful and
wonderful in summer, savage and wonderful in winter.
The
purpose designed double decker barge with a jet engine is designed to
navigate the shallows and ox bows of the Kwando river all year round.
The strong current in the river enables us to float silently down the
river and experience the peace and quiet of this remote wilderness |
