The Cuando River (sometimes transliterated Kwando) is a river in central Africa.
The Cuando begins in the highlands of Angola, and then flows south into Namibia. Some 10,000 years ago, the Cuando continued south to Lake Makgadikgadi, but now the river makes a sharp right turn east along the border with Botswana. Beginning at this point the river is known as the Linyanti River. The river flows through a seasonal lake, Lake Liambesi. Beyond Liambesi, the river is known as the Chobe River. The river then flows into the Zambezi.
From the beginning, the aim of Kwando Safaris was to build a regional Southern African circuit of the finest intimate, private and exclusive camps, to provide our guests with access to the very best that this remarkable region has to offer.
Should you choose to begin your safari in Botswana, Kwando guests can be taken to our private air conditioned lounge after being met by our staff or efficiently processed straight through to the waiting light aircraft transfer.
We operate two "concessions" as they are called in Botswana, one in the permanent water of the Delta itself and the larger Kwando concession in the far north famous for its large elephant herds and predator sightings.
When the Kwando and Linyanti rivers flood, as it does every now and then, a micro Delta is formed as the water seeps onto the flood plains and caresses the edge of the riverine forest.
Kwando is the essence of Botswana - ancient, immense and unspoiled.
A secluded and uncrowded paradise, this short strip of swampy river frontage is a reminder of the Okavango's waterways, lagoons, reedbeds and towering canopy of trees.
