Getting there and getting away
Kwara could be reached by boat from Camp Okavango, Camp Moremi, Xugana, or Shindi, but in practice virtually all visitors arrive by air into the small airstrip a short distance from camp. Like most camps in the Okavango, you can’t just drop in here, and even if you could the camp wouldn’t welcome you. It’s essential to pre-book your visit.

When to visit
As with much of the Delta, the big game here is generally more prolific during the dry season; and although many of the birds breed between December and March, Gcodikwe is generally at its most spectacular before then. That said, visiting in February still allowed me some first-class game viewing, including wild dog, as commented above. So don’t write off the green season as a universally lousy time for game: it just takes a bit more tracking down then.

What to see and do
Kwara is big on activities, and has a wider range available through the year than many camps in the Delta. Game drives and night drives are the norm, and the camp boasts that there are never more than six guests on a vehicle with a guide and tracker. Together with very knowledgeable guides, this makes the game-viewing experience here amongst the best in the Delta, and certainly better in the green season than most dry-land camps. Much of this is due to their willingness to actively track the game, heading off-road and into the bush at the slightest sign of something interesting.
On the water, the varied terrain means that motor boats and mekoro trips are possible all year, and the camp also has a double-decker ‘pontoon’-type boat. Climbing on top of this in the papyrus-lined channels is magical, and will give you a completely different view of the waterscape.
