KWANDO SPLASH

Kwando Splash

Located in the heart of the private Kwara Concession on the edge of the permanent waters of the Okavango Delta, Kwando Splash Camp offers a vibrant and diverse safari experience in one of Botswana’s most game-rich regions. Set beneath a canopy of tall trees and overlooking a lively pan, the camp is surrounded by a mosaic of floodplains, lagoons, woodlands, and savannah—habitats that attract a wide array of wildlife year-round.

With its relaxed atmosphere, stylish design, and reputation for exceptional guiding, Splash Camp combines all the elements of a classic Delta safari—thrilling sightings, water and land-based activities, and warm, attentive hospitality.

Accommodations:

Kwando Splash features twelve spacious ensuite rooms, including two family units, all positioned to offer privacy and panoramic views of the surrounding bush. Elevated on wooden decks, each room is designed with natural materials and a soft, contemporary palette that reflects the surrounding landscape. Interiors include comfortable beds, indoor and outdoor showers, flush toilets, double vanities, and ample space to unwind between activities.

The main area is expansive and welcoming, with open-plan lounge and dining areas leading out to a large deck that overlooks a permanent waterhole—an active magnet for wildlife, especially in the dry months. A swimming pool, firepit area, and curio shop complete the guest experience, creating an ideal blend of comfort, style, and wilderness immersion.

Activities:

Situated in a private concession bordering the Moremi Game Reserve, Splash Camp offers one of the most varied and flexible safari programs in the Delta, led by some of Botswana’s most experienced guide-and-tracker teams:

Game Drives (Day & Night): Morning and afternoon drives offer excellent opportunities to encounter lion, leopard, cheetah, African wild dog, elephant, buffalo, and more. Off-road driving and night drives (not permitted in national parks) provide guests with up-close sightings and the chance to experience the bush after dark.

Mokoro Excursions: When water levels permit, mokoro trips allow guests to drift silently through the Delta’s tranquil channels, guided by polers who share their knowledge of aquatic life and bird species.

Boating Safaris: Motorboat outings explore nearby lagoons and floodplains, providing a different vantage point for wildlife viewing and birdwatching.

Walking Safaris: Subject to seasonal conditions and guest interest, guided walks offer an intimate, ground-level perspective of the Delta’s ecosystems and allow exploration of the finer details often missed on game drives.

Birding: Splash is a haven for birdlife, with raptors, waders, and waterbirds in abundance. Highlights may include saddle-billed storks, jacanas, bee-eaters, and the elusive Pel’s fishing owl.

Additional Amenities:

Kwando Splash complements its exceptional game viewing with thoughtful comforts and a strong emphasis on personalized service:

Dining & Hospitality: Meals are fresh, hearty, and served with flair—often enjoyed al fresco with views of the waterhole or under the stars. The camp’s communal dining encourages a warm, inclusive atmosphere.

Exclusive Experience: With access to over 1,750 km² of private concession land, Splash offers low vehicle density and a sense of exclusivity that enhances the feeling of true wilderness.

Sustainable & Ethical Practices: Splash is run with a commitment to conservation, ethical tourism, and local empowerment, ensuring the surrounding ecosystems and communities benefit from its presence.

Authentic Connections: The camp’s guiding teams—always comprising a guide and a tracker—offer a rare depth of knowledge, enriching every sighting with insight, context, and respect for the bush.

Combining wild beauty, year-round game viewing, and a relaxed yet refined camp setting, Kwando Splash delivers a richly rewarding Okavango Delta experience—where wildlife is abundant, the hospitality is heartfelt, and every day brings something new to discover.
