Lebala Camp
Lebala Camp is situated in the private Kwando Concession. Lebala means wide open spaces in Setswana and the scenery is dominated by vast plains with scattered palms and tree clumps backed by wooded savannas.
The eight spacious tents are unique and were designed specifically for this camp. Each one is built on a raised teak deck, laid out with maximum comfort and privacy in mind. The large windows and decks offer endless vistas across the vast plains.
The tents have an entrance foyer with a reading and writing area, en-suite bathrooms with Victorian clawfoot bathtubs, "his and hers" washbasins and flush toilets. The bathrooms lead out to a reed enclosed open-air shower with hot and cold running water.
Meals are served in the open-sided dining room. After dinner there is a camp fire around which guests can enjoy a coffee or a nightcap. A small pool allows guests to cool off during the heat of the day.
Activities include morning and night game drives in open vehicles and seasonal guided walks.
The wetlands and flood plains around Lebala offer a wonderful variety of wildlife with excellent sightings of elephant, hippo, lechwe, zebra, giraffe, impala, wildebeest, kudu, tsessebe, roan, sable, buffalo and the ever present predators; wild dog, lion, cheetah and hyena.
After dark, spotlights are switched on and the game drives might offer nocturnal sightings of rare and elusive species such as leopard, Selous mongoose, small spotted genet and aardwolf. Nocturnal bird species that are encountered include Natal and pennant-winged nightjars and a large variety of owls.
