Lagoon
Camp lies on the shady banks of the Kwando River among tall and
ancient African Ebony and Marula trees, under the watchful gaze
of the resident hippos. Lagoon Camp accommodates only 16 guests
in 8 twin bedded luxury
safari-style tents.
Each tent looks out
over the water and has private en-suite facilities, including
24 hour hot and cold running water, open-air showers, flush toilets
and modern amenities. Over the years, many of our guests have
commented that Lagoon
Camp stands out as one of the most beautiful
settings of any safari camp. |

There are few places in Africa where such concentrated numbers
of these animals exist, especially in the dry season. The shady,
treed environment of the camp hosts a great variety of birds and
squirrels that visit daily. A family of hippo and an elephant
or
three are regularly sighted from the tents.
This contributes
to the relaxed calm that prevails at Lagoon. The predators are
also well represented by lion, hyena, leopard, cheetah and wild
dog. Lagoon is famous as the
best venue in Africa for wild dog
viewing as the dogs have denned near the camp
every year of the
camps existence.
These animals are generally very relaxed in the
presence of vehicles, meaning the sightings are usually at close
range and many guests have seen amazing action
as these pics attest.
Among the great variety of antelope species found at
Lagoon, the
endangered Sable and Roan are often seen. |

Seasonally,
large herds of elephant drink almost daily at the river bank in
front of the camp, in full view of the guests. The big herds attract
big predators. The lions of Kwando are famous for their elephant,
hippo and buffalo kills. Playful spotted necked otters are commonly
seen performing in the Lagoon right in front of the tents. |
