northern Kalahari Desert. The Kwando concession encompasses a wide diversity of
habitats, ranging from the clear Delta waters with reed-lined lagoons and channels,
to open grasslands, mopane woodlands and palm-fringed islands. Kwara Camp is situated
on the edge of the permanent waters of the world renowned Okavango Delta and shares
a common boundary with Moremi Game Reserve. Due to the unique location of Kwara
Camp it is able to offer walks and game drives all year round. In addition, Kwara
is in a 430,000 acre private concession enabling the game drives to operate both
