Lebala Camp
Lebala Camp is the Real Deal; tucked in the heart of Kwando Private Reserve in The Okavango Delta, Botswana
"Lebala" means "wide open space" in Setswana - and that’s exactly what it offers: endless skies, golden floodplains, and the thrilling sense that you might be the one being watched. Tucked deep into the southern reaches of the Kwando Private Concession, this remote camp gives you exclusive access to over 230,000 hectares of pristine, unfenced wilderness - shared with only one other lodge, Lagoon Camp.
A long-time favorite for serious safari lovers, Lebala is renowned for predator sightings, especially wild dogs and cheetahs, with elephants, lions, leopards, hyenas, and sable antelope also frequenting the area. Off-road and after-dark game drives are led by Kwando’s legendary two-person guiding teams - expert trackers and guides who know the bush like a second skin.
The camp’s eight tented suites and one family suite blend effortlessly into the landscape. Each is raised on wooden decks with mesh windows and sweeping views, allowing you to fall asleep to the sounds of the bush and wake up to elephants on the move.
