| One of finest tented camps in Africa. Lebala in the Setswana language, means "open plains" which aptly describes the extensive grasslands and seasonal flood plains of the Linyanti marshes – fed by the Kwando River.
Lebala tents are well known by experienced travellers for their old world charm and modern comforts. At times the camp becomes an island when the floods arrive.
The eight luxurious tents have a view onto the surrounding plains from their teak decks. The spacious bedroom, intimate lounge, dressing room and en suite bathrooms with Victorian ball-and-claw bath tubs, double basins and outside showers complete the picture. The camp has a plunge pool, lounge, bar, dining room, game viewing hide, gift shop and fire place area.
The game viewing at Lebala is amongst the best in Africa due both to the concentrations of game and the excellent visibility on the plains. Lebala focuses on the excellent game drives, both off road and at night. Bush walks are at guides discretion due to seasonal high elephant concentrations. There are no water activities offered due to the presence of large numbers of hippo and elephant in the
channels.
Lebala has a simple formula – the grass on the plains is grazed short by abundant prey species resulting in concentrations of large predators. Lebala, like Lagoon, has
a reputation for predator action with the lions known for their ability to hunt and kill mega fauna like buffalo, hippo and elephant. Lebala airstrip is 6km from the camp.
