SPLASH CAMP – KWANDO CONCESSION – OKAVANGO DELTA
Splash Camp is situated in the heart of the Okavango Delta within the Kwara Private Reserve. Located around a natural waterhole which attracts game year round the camp features 12 spacious ensuite rooms as well as a main area, bar, dining area and swimming pool.
The area has long been known as Splash due to the huge water crossings that had to be negotiated to access the camp area. The camp is situated in a permanent water location and can offer the following year-round activities: game drives, walking safaris, boat cruises, mokoro, and seasonal fishing (Mar-Dec only).
Due to its location in a private concession game drives can go off road to allow vehicles to be positioned closer to special predator sighting which enhances the photographic and game viewing experience.
