"Lovely location"
Again there was the long table with all eating together which gave opportuiy to meet other guests and chat to staff." See all these reviews: 10n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia
"Kwara Camp review"
We enjoyed the game drives with him and loved the mokoro trip and walking safari. Kwara has excellent camp facilities." See all these reviews: 6n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe
"Best time at Kwara"
The camp is on a private reservie so going off road and night driving were great. The guide and spotter, IP and Justice, were the best of the trip, with everything being pointed out. I saw lots of lion here, new varieties of game( warthog, hyena, tsessebe, red lechwe, genet, african wild cat, python amongst others) and excellent birds. As well as game drives I went on a boat trip in the Delta (saw lots of hippos) a jungle walk and in a mokoro - where again we saw lots of hippo: one so close we had to take evasive action.
This is a great camp for people who are serious about seeing the wildlife. The staff were friendly and very welcoming and although certain things could be immproved it would be a great shame if it were tarted up too much." See all these reviews: 11n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe
"Kwara Camp review"
Due to the time of the year of our trip, Fishing was not available and Mokoro's were not encouraged, so apart from a boat trip to see Hippo, we were only really offered safari by jeep. However, they were fantastic!" See all these reviews: 3n in Botswana

Tents could use a makeover but nice all the same." See all these reviews: 8n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia
"Kwara Camp review"
Fantastic boat trips but the contrast with being able to go by jeep across the plains, due to it being dry season, made it for us.
Luxurious rooms, with great views. Extremely friendly staff. More of a 'tyring to please the punters' place than some of the other camps, but if that's why you've come to Botswana, then that's no bad thing!" See all these reviews: 8n in Botswana; 6n in Zimbabwe
"Kwara Camp review"
Overall the game viewing was very good and we had a couple of very close encounters with lions, a hippo who made it clear he did not like us so close when we were in a mokoro and the tracker made a spectacular jump from the spotting seat to the safety of the truck when we nearly ran over a 8 foot black mamba. All very memorable stuff.
The food and drink were very good considering this is a bush camp. Lots of bottled water is consumed but one really needs plenty of liquids in the heat. Hopefully the empty bottle are recycled.
The only quibble was that our tent (number 6) did not seem very insect proof, as at night we had plenty of wildlife in the tent if the light was on." See all these reviews: 8n in Botswana

"Kwara Camp review"
Our tent was very comfortable, but unfortunately the electricity was not working. It failed each night about two minutes after we had been taken to our tent in the dark. It was mended every day but failed again in the same way each night. It would not have been a problem if the camp had accepted it was not working and given us some oil lamps.
The safaris were excellent with some exciting tracking of animals. Both the guide and tracker were very helpful. We also did a walk, a speed boat trip and a canoe trip so there was plenty of variety. The food was excellent.
The communal area was too small to seat everyone and the swimming pool was out of action so everyone tended to sit by there own tent during free time." See all these reviews: 6n in Botswana
"Honeymoon at Kwara"
The waterside location affords extra activities and both the mokoro and delta-boat trips were very special experiences. The hosts at Kwara (Thuso and Janet in particular) really do go the extra mile for their guests and put on a private dining experience to celebrate our last night in the bush, and we were sad to leave the lovely people and their wonderful camp.
The only real surprise at the Kwando camps was that there were no other English guests whilst we were there. Not a problem at all, just a little unexpected." See all these reviews: 6n in Mozambique; 5n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia
