Kwando Safaris is a Botswana camp owner based in Maun that its home page calls "a proudly 100% citizen owned Botswana company", with camps in private concessions in the Okavango Delta, among them Kwara, Splash, Mma Dinare and Rra Dinare. Its Google listing shows 4.5 out of 5 from 8 reviews, read 20 October 2026; no Trustpilot or SafariBookings profile was found on 19 October 2026. The pages read on 19 October 2026 give no prices, deposit or cancellation terms and no founding year.
Kwando Safaris is a citizen-owned Botswana camp owner with at least four camps in Okavango Delta private concessions and a Google rating of 4.5 from 8 reviews (read 20 October 2026), but the pages read on 19 October 2026 give no prices, payment terms or founding year.
Kwando Safaris gives its postal address as P.O. Box 550, Maun. The home page says it is "a proudly 100% citizen owned Botswana company" with camps "hosted by Batswana". The pages read name no owners, founders, parent group or registered company and give no founding year. It is a camp owner: the pages sell stays at its own camps and refer travellers to a travel agent to combine other destinations. The FAQs say its concessions are leased from the Botswana government after a tender process.
Reviews by platform: Google, 4.5 out of 5 from 8 reviews on the Kwando Safaris listing in Maun (read 20 October 2026). Trustpilot and SafariBookings: no profile found (read 19 October 2026). Tripadvisor could not be read. No awards, certifications, tourism licence numbers or association memberships are named on the pages read. Deposit, balance, cancellation charges and how guest payments are protected were not on the pages read on 19 October 2026.
It suits travellers booking through a travel specialist who want private-concession camps in the Okavango Delta with night drives and off-road driving.

No Kwando Safaris prices were on the pages read on 19 October 2026: its FAQs say only that the cost varies by level of luxury, season and length of stay, so you need a quote to get a rate.
No per person, per night rates by camp or season appear on the pages read on 19 October 2026 and no currency is given. The FAQ answer to "How much does a Botswana safari cost?" is that "The cost varies depending on the level of luxury, the season and the duration of your stay".
What the rate includes, from the FAQs: "We offer an all-inclusive stay and our rates include all game-viewing activities. Our rates exclude helicopter activities." Meals are described as all-inclusive. Gratuities are extra. Not on the pages read: drinks, laundry, park or concession fees, any conservation levy and whether the light aircraft transfers with Moremi Air are in the rate. For published prices from Botswana camp owners, see the alternatives below.
Kwando Safaris' camps are in Botswana only and include Kwara Camp and Splash Camp in the Kwara concession and Mma Dinare and Rra Dinare in the Dinare Private Reserve, which borders Moremi Game Reserve (read 19 October 2026).
The pages read give no total number of camps or room counts. The Our Camps page was not read, so there may be other camps. Kwando says its concessions are private and that guests "follow animals off-road and at night". No mobile or seasonal camps were on the pages read. Most camps are reached by light aircraft with Moremi Air (20 kg soft bag limit including hand luggage); guests fly in via Maun, Kasane or Victoria Falls.
Kwando Safaris fits travellers who book through a travel specialist and want private-concession camps in the Okavango Delta, with night drives, off-road driving and guide and tracker teams.
Not the fit if: you want to compare prices, a child policy, a single supplement or a cancellation scale before you enquire (none were on the pages read on 19 October 2026), or want camps outside Botswana.
The alternatives to Kwando Safaris are Desert & Delta Safaris, Ker & Downey Botswana, Letaka Safaris and Machaba Safaris, camp owners with camps in Botswana's Okavango Delta or in or beside Moremi Game Reserve, where Kwando's camps are. We chose them from the camp owners in the safari camp owners table with camps in the same area; the table lists others. They are listed alphabetically, each with the fact that sets it apart.
Kwando Safaris recommends booking through an Africa travel specialist. Its contact page also has an enquiry form, the email [email protected] and the phone number +267 686 1449.
Kwando sells mainly through agents: the contact page says "We recommend booking your safari through an Africa travel specialist who has visited our camps" and invites agents to sign up. The enquiry form connects guests to an advisor. The pages read give no named reservations contact or reply time. Resident and regional rates were not on the pages read. The deposit, balance date, cancellation charges and how guest payments are protected were not on the pages read on 19 October 2026, so ask for them in writing before you pay. An emergency number (+267 7211 0506) is listed, with no statement that it is staffed around the clock.
A short enquiry brief:
59 facts about Kwando Safaris were read from its own website and the review platforms on 19 and 20 October 2026; every one below says who stated it and when; where there is a page to link, it links the page it was read from. “Not stated on their website” means the pages read did not give it; “Could not access” means the page would not open or could not be read; “No profile found” means the platform has no listing under this name. None of the three means the company does not have it. The same 59-fact form is kept for every safari camp owner on this site, in the same order, so each line can be set beside another camp owner’s.

Land and traversing
Private concessions in Botswana, leased from the government after a tender.
