Little Kwara is the sister camp of Kwara, but they are run as individual properties. Little Kwara is on an island, at the edge of the Delta’s permanent waters.
The camp is small (accommodating only 8 guests) and intimate. It is particularly suitable for families, or small groups of friends. Guests are accommodated in spacious tents, each with a private deck. En suite facilities include indoor/ outdoor showers, and a bath.
Activities are varied, as is the habitat of the area. Game viewing is generally excellent, and a degree of off-road driving is permitted, in order to get better sightings. This increases the chance of seeing lion, leopard, and wild dog, for example. Night drives give you the chance to see some of the many and varied nocturnally active species.
Little Kwara also offers mokoro (dug-out canoe) trips year-round. Mokoro trips are arguably the best way of exploring the waterways, and also allows for some excellent birding, and photographic opportunities. During these excursions, you also enjoy some stops on the nearby islands, to do some short walks.
In addition, the camp offers a double-deck boat for river cruises – giving some excellent views of the area, an allowing for some game viewing. Fishing (on request) is also available - using normal reel and rod. Should you prefer fly-fishing, you should bring your own equipment.
To put the Kwando Concession area into context - 175 000 ha is 1.8 times the size of the Hluhluwe Mfolosi Game Reserve or about 9% of the Kruger National Park.
Client Feedback on Little Kwara Camp:
Little Kwara was also fantastic. We had a family of monkeys keeping us company during our afternoons at our room. They sat in the tree about 10 feet from us observing us read as we observed them jumping around. One night we were serenaded by the local male lion looking for his running mate. The lack of ceiling fans was an issue as grabbing an afternoon nap was a near impossibility given the heat. We were told that they are installing them soon though, so that would help. Our guide at Little Kwara as well as the tracker were very good. Extremely educational and informative during our drives. We also had a nice evening cruise here and enjoyed a wonderful sunset. The little luxuries that were found at Selinda were put into the game drives at the Kwando camp, which is not to say that they lacked in luxury as the meals here were likely the best we had during the trip.
