BOAT TRIPS
Our lodge has its own flat bottom aluminium boat that can take up to fourteen persons for trips on the Kwando river. Our boat also has a canvas roof to protect you from the sun. We also run a smaller boat for smaller parties or fishing trips. As for the game drives, the boats leave early morning or late in the afternoon, to make the best possible use of light for your pictures, and the time of highest wildlife activity. |

GAME DRIVE
Our specially equipped ten seater Land Rover will allow comfortable drives in the neighbouring parks, under the protection of its canvas roof. “On request” game drives leave early in the morning and late afternoon, usually to Mudumu Game Park, and include a relaxing break where drinks and snacks shall be served. On request, we can organise a trip of two or more days to the Caprivi Game Park (fifty kilometres to the north) or to the Mamili Game Park (sixty kilometres to the south). These expeditions require two vehicles and nights are spent camping in the bush.
At Mamili Game Park, chances are you won’t be coming into other vehicles, as it is wild and remote. Our priority is for you to encounter wildlife! |

TRADITIONNAL VILLAGE
Just next door to Camp Kwando is the village where most of our staff comes from. The villagers have created a Traditional Village where they will present you various fishing and hunting techniques, as well as their traditions on their every day life. Most of it has been protected for the last centuries. During this visit, the Medicine Man of the village will show you how different dances were used against various illnesses or to cure other problems ! |

VILLAGES SCHOOLS
We also organise visits to the two local schools bordering the lodge. Our main impetus is on the quality of teaching, and that it be maintained at an adequate level. Thus our concern that all the money you pay for these visits is re-injected in schooling material. This projet is monitored by us, and we track all donations. |

FISHING
Fishing tackle will allow a party of four on request to go fishing on the Kwando river. Several species shall suit your palate and our Chef shall be delighted to prepare the catch of the day. For the more adventurous angler, the Tiger Fish, which trophies weighing up to eight pounds, have been caught in our waters, no doubt a challenging catch. |

TRIPS TO MAMILI
The Camp's proximity to the Mamili National Park, famous for its wilderness, allows us to organise field trips in order for you to get a taste of the real bush life. Three days excursions in the Park will allow you to travel back in time and experience a truly exceptional adventure. Two vehicles and the appropriate staff will allow parties of up to six guests to travel to the Park. On the first morning, upon reaching the camp site, you will enjoy a first game drive and come back in time for lunch. Though rather basic, the camp will have such amenities as a shower as well as movable toilets. Following a rest during the warmest hours of the day, in the shade of large trees at campsite, off you go to another game drive followed by a solid dinner and a comfortable night is spacious tents which will have been installed for you. More game drives and the usual camp activities on the second day, night camping in the bush and an early game drive on the third day followed by lunch and a final two hours drive home to the lodge. |

DAY TRIP TO VICTORIA FALLS
Having our own plane at the lodge, we are able to offer day trips Victoria Falls (locally known as "Vic Falls"). Should you not feel comfortable with the idea of a long and rather tedious trip by land, along with a border crossing which may add on to a hazardous journey, our Cessna 206 will carry you there with ease in a flight of no more than 90 minutes. The flight for four passengers will take you to Livingstone in Zambia, where a car shall bring you to the Falls, much wilder on the Zambian side than on the Zimbabwean side.
A luncheon shall be served, followed if requested by a couple of relaxing hours at the pool of one of the Livingstone hotels. Your driver will drop you at the airport later in the afternoon for a fascinating flight home to camp. |
