ATTRACTIONS

General game graze on the wide flood plains in spectacular scenery under the ever watchful predators. Lagoon offers regular and reliable sightings of elephant, lion, wild dog, leopard, cheetah, giraffe, zebra, tsessebe, impala, wildebeest, buffalo and waterbuck in stunning settings. The flood plains are demarcated by sudden lines of tall lead wood trees, many hundreds of years old. Shady grasslands give way to the striking silver cluster leaf woodlands that are tended by the elephant, maintaining the characteristic broken gardens effect. West of the floodplains are the endless mopane woodlands that sustain the large herds in the wet season.

FACILITIES

Kwando Lagoon Camp comprises 6 spacious purpose designed tents with views over the private lagoon formed by the ever-changing Kwando river. Each tent comprises a bedroom area with a spacious bathroom en suite. The bathroom has a double basin set in an indigenous Mukwa wood stand and a flush loo. The spacious outdoor reeded showers capture the essence of Africa that is Kwando. The tents are furnished in the best teak furniture that Zimbabwean master craftsmen can create.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Guests arrive from the airstrip through open plains into our shaded reception area and amble into the peaceful lounge, dinning and bar area, under thatch. They continue through the thatched dinning area onto the pathways leading to their personal hideaway and tent. Their view, is of expansive Africa over the peaceful lagoon and reed beds that lead to the Kwando-Linyanti flood plain system. This system is an intricate labyrinth of waterways, reed beds, islands, floodplains, bush, scrub and trees. However, the river system around Lagoon camp is a maze of ox bow lakes, fossil river beds, reed beds and riverine forests. In the dry season Lagoon offers a mega fauna experience unmatched in Africa with sightings of up to 1 000 elephant in a single game drive. The lion prides regularly hunt elephant in this remote region, a habit undocumented elsewhere in Africa. Herds of up to 2 000 buffalo also attract the attention of lion and hyena and our trained guides scan the horizons for the dust storms generated by thousands of buffalo hooves.
