Hidden in the Southern portion of the extensive Kwando wilderness is Lebala Camp. Lebala Camp comprises 16 beds in 8 luxuriously spacious tents, on Zimbabwe teak decks. Each tent is surrounded by spectacular shade cloth walls, with a variety of curtains and shades so you can decide on how much light you let in or not. Sliding doors and a spacious bedroom area, bathroom including a Victorian claw bathtub, double basins, outside double showers, separate toilet and fans.

The teak furniture is elegant, comfortable and simple, leaving the tent looking spacious and tasteful. The clean simple lines created by the shade cloth, and variety of curtains, will complete the picture of privacy and space. The shade cloth walls allow you to view the sunrises and sunsets from the safety of your rooms whilst also viewing the elephant’s walk past your room in the light of the full moon.

You will arrive near a massive sausage tree and amble over a winding seasonal waterway, using an elevated walkway into the peaceful lounge and bar area under thatch. The path continues through the thatched dining area, onto the pathways leading to their personal hideaway and tent. En route to your rooms – there is also a swimming pool, lapa and magnificent fireplace, which is used extensively for after dinner drinks and the exchanging of your safari stories. The camp has been built and designed with two main purposes in mind: (i) privacy of the guest experience (ii) ease of management so that the staff can concentrate on their guests.

Lebala is the Tswana word for wide-open plains, and each tent has extensive views over expansive tracts of African plains and wetlands, that comprise part of the Kwando-Linyanti flood plain system. This system is an intricate labyrinth of waterways, reed beds, islands, floodplains, bush, scrub and trees. To those in the know - somewhat Okavangolike but something different too.

Excellent general game abounds on the broad plains, creating spectacular scenery, adorned with herds of plains game and the ever-attendant predators. Lebala offers regular and reliable sightings of elephant, lion, wild dog, leopard, cheetah, giraffe, zebra, tsessebe, kudu, lechwe, impala, wildebeest and waterbuck in stunning settings. Lebala is famous for elephant sightings as is the neighbouring Lagoon camp, 2 hours drive north. In fact the concession is home to more elephant than the entire country of South Africa.
