About Kwando Concession
The Kwando Concession is a remote and pristine private reserve along the Kwando River in northern Botswana. One of the earliest private concessions in the country, it offers an authentic and uncrowded wilderness experience with excellent populations of wild dogs, lions, leopards, and large herds of elephants and buffalo. The concession's isolation ensures genuinely exclusive safari encounters.
