Discover Kwando Lebala in Botswana

Kwando Lebala Botswana is located within the vast Kwando Private Concession in the Linyanti region of northern Botswana. Positioned beside expansive floodplains, open grasslands, and seasonal wetlands, the camp enjoys access to more than 230,000 hectares of exclusive wilderness renowned for exceptional predator sightings and large concentrations of wildlife.

The name “Lebala” means “wide open spaces” in Setswana, reflecting the sweeping landscapes that surround the camp. This region is particularly famous for its wild dog populations, lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, and buffalo, making it one of Botswana’s premier destinations for serious safari enthusiasts.

Furthermore, the private concession allows off-road driving, walking safaris, and night drives, creating a more flexible and immersive safari experience than many national park destinations.

Walking Safaris
Guided walking safaris allow guests to experience the bush on foot while learning about tracks, plants, insects, and animal behaviour. Experienced guides share detailed insight into the ecological systems that support the Linyanti region.

Furthermore, walking safaris provide a deeper appreciation of the landscape beyond traditional game viewing.

Night Drives
Night drives reveal a completely different side of the African wilderness and provide opportunities to observe nocturnal species rarely encountered during daylight hours. Spotlights are used to locate predators and smaller nocturnal animals active after dark.

Consequently, evening safaris often become some of the most memorable experiences of a stay at Lebala.

Predator Viewing Experiences

The Kwando Concession is internationally recognised for its predator activity. Wild dogs have regularly denned within the concession for decades, while lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas are frequently encountered throughout the area.

The camp’s dedicated guide-and-tracker system significantly improves wildlife viewing opportunities by allowing both professionals to focus on locating and interpreting animal movements.

Birdwatching and Photography

The diverse habitats surrounding Lebala support a rich variety of birdlife throughout the year.

Species regularly encountered include:

Fish eagles
Raptors
Vultures
Kingfishers
Herons
Storks
Bee-eaters
Seasonal migratory birds

In addition, the combination of open plains, wetlands, dramatic skies, and abundant wildlife creates exceptional opportunities for wildlife photography.

Seasonal Wildlife Viewing

During the dry season, large concentrations of elephant and buffalo move towards the permanent water systems of the Kwando River. This seasonal migration attracts predators and creates remarkable wildlife viewing opportunities.

Meanwhile, the changing floodplain environments ensure rewarding safari experiences throughout different times of the year.
