Description
Little Kwara is in the heart of a magnificent wilderness area in excess of 1,700 square kilometres and bordering the Moremi Reserve. No trip to Botswana is complete without a visit to the delta, the watery jewel in the middle of the Kalahari Desert. Kwara encompasses a wide range of diverse habitats, ranging from the clear delta waters with reed-lined lagoons and channels, to open grasslands, mopane woodlands and palm-fringed islands. Little Kwara is located close to its sister camp, Kwara, though this is a more intimate camp and has a very romantic feel to it. The rooms are beautifully designed and are raised up providing suoerb views. Hidden amongst trees, access to Little Kwara is by air via the Kwara airstrip. While the camp will share a name with its sister camp, Little Kwara Camp is a completely separate camp from Kwara.
There are some excellent game viewing opportunities from Little Kwara offering a well-rounded safari experience. Including mekoro trips year round, double deck boat cruises, island walks as well as game drives both off road and at night. Fishing is also offered on request, using normal reel and rod fishing - flying fishing enthusiasts need to bring their own equipment. Trips can be arranged to the wondrous Godikwe Lagoon - one of the largest breeding colonies on Botswana. In season (from September to December), guests can see thousands of birds and their young in their annual nesting grounds with amazing interactions. It is here that guests will most appreciate the double-deck boat as they are able to peer into the birds' nests from above.

Little Kwara is a very intiamate camp with just 4 safari tents. The tents are spacious, and are elevated into the tree canopy on wooden decks, each with its own private veranda. Each tent has its own en-suite facilities, comprising bathroom with bath and an inside/outside shower. This is an ideal camp for exclusive use by small groups and families.
