Wonderful setting, good accommodations & activities, some complaint about food:<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Our two families with a teen each stayed there two nights prior to going to Kwando Lagoon Camp. We did this <\/span><\/span>on the occasion of our brilliant <\/span><\/span>Botswana<\/span><\/span>, <\/span><\/span>Namibia<\/span><\/span> and <\/span><\/span>Victoria Falls<\/span><\/span> fly-in safari, expertly guided by Ultimate Safaris<\/a> (sightings included the Big 5, <\/span><\/span>cheetah, wild dog and sitatunga).

<\/span><\/span>This camp is a \u201cclassic\u201d Wilderness Safari camp (meaning a notch down from the \u201cpremiere\u201d camp). Its setting is spectacular, surrounded by water and only reachable by boat. On our arrival, we were welcomed by a group of employees presenting a local song, a nice touch.

<\/span>There are six comfortable, spacious and well furnished tents connected to the common areas with raised walkways. As far as the public space is concerned, there is a covered place for meals, a bar, a lounge, a library and a small pool.

<\/span>Food wise you are on full board. This means breakfast before the morning game drive and brunch\/lunch after it. Then you get high tea before the evening game drive and dinner after it. And all the meals are buffet style. The quantity of food is more than enough but its quality is not always sufficient. I personally liked the salads at lunch time and the desserts. However the meat was not suitable for buffet style meals (tough steaks), and the vegetables were almost uncooked.

<\/span>The camp offers a variety of activities on land and on water. We made several game drives and one mokoro trip. All were very well organized, and drinks as well as snacks were offered. We enjoyed it very much and had the chance to view (amongst others) lions and a pack of wild dogs. The service at Little Vumbura was faultless and we are picky guests \u2026

<\/span>
All in all, we consider the stay in this camp as a very good experience. Accommodations, service and activities were excellent, only some ameliorations food wise would be appropriate.
