In 2023, Kwando 4 Rivers Camp became the newest edition to the remote western corner of Kwara Private Concession in the Okavango Delta. A smattering of Meru-style, open-sided suites sit beside a permanent lagoon, all promising a front-row seat to the activities of its resident hippos. In fact, there are floodplains, mopane forests and deep channels as far as the eye can see, offering a peek into the further excitement to come... You'll have the chance to explore to your heart's content, from off-road drives in search of the Delta's big cats or walking safaris on nearby Maboa Island.

The main camp has the authentic feel of an original safari lodge with high, thatched ceilings, rustic decor and a communal dining table where stories from the day will most definitely be par for the course. A lovely lounge sits just next to the self-serve bar and holds a small collection of books for quiet moments. Leading down to a sandy firepit, the entire structure is 'wall-less' with divine views of the lagoon. Take a wander during your down time, or head to the secluded swimming pool and pull up a lounger with a view.
Accommodation at 4 Rivers consist of 9 large meru tents, of which one is a family tent. Each tastefully decorated meru tent is built on a raised wooden platform complete with an en suite bathroom with both an indoor and outdoor shower. Guest can relax and take in the views from the small seating area on the outdoor deck. Children from 6 years are welcome at 4 Rivers.
Activities offered include day and night game drives on the reserve. Seasonal walking safaris with experienced guides and mokoro trips are offered only when water levels permit.
The camp has exclusive access to this area, meaning the safari experience is as intimate as they come.
The area around camp is currently home to a pack of African painted dogs, one of which is leucistic and incredibly rare. Ask your guide about it and, hopefully, you'll spot the pack during your stay.
