Kwando Lagoon Camp
Focused on Great Wildlife Experiences
Cheetah Sighting at Kwando Lagoon Camp
The renowned Kwando concession is over half a million acres but contains just two small camps that are 30 kilometers apart. Kwando Lagoon Camp has built its reputation on action packed gameviewing, with dedicated tracking, tremendous guiding and making the pursuit of wildlife sightings the priority. Kwando uses unique vehicles, the URI, a workhorse vehicle that was custom designed by a farmer in the Kalahari desert of Namibia to deal with the rigors of offroad driving and this allows for exciting off road pursuit under special circumstances such as African wild dogs on the hunt.

Open grasslands and pan systems abound with impala, red lechwe, steenbok, reedbuck, wildebeest, buffalo, giraffe, tsessebe, kudu, zebra, waterbuck, sable, and roan.
Kwando Lagoon Camp Tented Accommodations
Kwando Lagoon Camp Bathrooms and Bedroom
Kwando Lagoon Camp comprises 8 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.
Camp Construction
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 shade cloth, 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.

Communal Area at Kwando Lagoon Camp
There is a wonderful communal area to relax during the mid-day where you may possibly see an elephant approach, as well as a plunge pool. Food is hearty and the staff provides a very welcoming atmosphere at this camp. Activities here focus on game drives and boat cruises, which is appropriate because it is such a productive area and the guide/tracker system is a point of emphasis to deliver the maximum experience. Seasonally walks may be available.
