Kadizora Camp

My wife and I enjoyed a magical 4 night stay at Kadizora, bookending a 14 night trip overall and our first experience of safari in Botswana. We chose to take our first trip to Botswana during their low season, which comes with its challenges and drawbacks if you are seeking an archetypical Delta water wonderland vista which is best and only truly experienced during flood season. However for us with nothing tangible to compare our low season Delta experience with, we loved how dry the floodplains were and how open the general landscape had become, as it afforded us numerous additional routes and areas within the concession to explore which would not otherwise be feasible during flood season due to the high water levels. If you do your research, temper your expectations accordingly and get fortunate with the weather then I suggest early December is a wonderful time to visit Kadizora so long as you treat it as a more conventional game drive dominant safari experience. A true benefit to the low season at Kadizora and to the Delta in general are not only the reduced rates but more importantly, the low occupancy levels evidenced by the fact we were the only guests in camp throughout our 4 night stay, which was as welcomed as it was unexpected and an anomaly which only served to enhance our holistic experience of Kadizora further. In essence, from our arrival to our departure we had the whole camp to ourselves, including private game viewing activities throughout with timings/routes tailored to our own preferences. Similarly our daily itinerary was made flexible by Matthew and Aidan, our personable and highly capable camp managers, who gave us the autonomy and freedom to truly feel at home in camp from the moment we arrived by empowering us to feel comfortable in tailoring each day to suit our own personal preferences and sensibilities. One notable mention must go to the food in camp which was consistently the best we tasted and enjoyed throughout this trip despite strong competition from other camps we stayed at previously. Compliments to the chef/s. Kadizora is truly remote and intimate camp located in the northern Delta close to the panhandle with the Selinda Spillway dissecting its vast and exclusive NG concession, sharing as it does with only 2 other camps and thus providing a true authentic Botswana safari experience in the respect that we barely encountered another game vehicle throughout our stay and similarly, the sightings we were fortunate to witness, predominantly were ones we had entirely to ourselves with no time limits or lock positions to concern ourselves with. For me personally this was a noticeable and welcome discrepancy from previous safari experiences we have had previously, even at higher end camps in e.g. South Africa. As avid wildlife enthusiasts, the opportunity to spend over an hour with a pack of Wild Dogs while they readied themselves to hunt or to spend half a day with a female lioness and follow her journey fro

Beautiful location under the shade of trees. Activities of mokoro and boat trips with sundowners overlooking a pool of hippos were very good. The camp had very little atmosphere as there were few staff around. The pool with sunbeds was not looked after, which was a shame as it overlooked the plain with animals sauntering by. Food was a little disappointing although the tables put out in the evening provided a nice atmosphere. Tent was very nice size but a small fan did not help with the temperature in it at night. Patio door fell off the runner. It was put back, but I don’t know if itwas mended while we’re there for our 2 night stay which was a perfect length of time.

This is such a unique experience, since it is the middle of the Delta. You fly on small planes to get here. It is Glamping and not for everyone. You have a large cabin with an outdoor shower and bathtub. You have total privacy, so you don't have to worry about your open tent. The safari was wonderful. We did it by jeep, canoe and motor boat. We had a very different experience, than Kruger or Chobe. It is more rustic. They do your laundry for free. After 18 days, we needed it. The staff and guides are first class. They make you time there memorable.

Excellent sightings including leopard, lion cubs, giraffe, zebra, etc Tek our guide was great. The luxury tents well worth the extra. Food good. All well organised by Matthew. Best bath viewing on any safari. Lions and hippos galore and plenty more.

From start to finish, this was one of the best experiences of our lives..what an amazing place with really wonderful staff located in such a remote location in the Botswana bush. Our tracker was the incredible Navas who guided us during our stay from the pickup from the airstrip through the extensive tracking of lions and leopards in the wild grasslands and trees of the Okavengo delta. Elephants hippos giraffe buffalo zebra antelope and many more were there, not forgetting the most beautifully coloured birds. The food was exceptional and the organisation was simply first class. So many thanks to Matthew and his team at the superbly well equipped camp with its spacious tents. All of the staff were so very helpful but for us Navas was such a star with his massive reservoir of wild life knowledge and experience. It was such an unforgettable time for us. Our only criticism is on ourselves as we should have booked in for a longer stay!!

A lovely place to stay in the Okavango Delta. A very friendly and welcoming team led by Matthew. Our superior room was excellent - very spacious and really comfortable. Superb game drives and water cruises - excellent wildlife and birdlife. A special mention (and thanks) to our guide, Technik, who was so knowledgeable and helpful.
