The main areas of the camp include a bar and sitting area, outdoor deck with a swing, dining area, curio shop, orientation centre, and a cosy second-level library overlooking the river.
Adjacent to the main area, is the family tent which has two entrances (one to the twin bedroom and the other to the main bedroom and living area). The family tent shares the same ensuite bathroom facilities.
The thatched main area of the camp is multi-level, the top area being the library which almost always has breeze sweeping through. The main area was designed to fit perfectly into the natural landscape and allow views of the river and wetlands from all areas.Just past the bar/lounge area is the plunge pool, and it’s a short meander to the deck where a comfortable swing chair awaits.
Lagoon accommodates up to 18 guests in nine expansive tents. Each tent's private deck, living area, and bathroom all afford picturesque views over the river. Likewise, these views are also perfect to wake up to, in bed. Each tent has an ensuite bathroom with both an indoor and outdoor shower, as well as a bathtub for an enjoyable afternoon soak
Nestled under ebony and marula trees the spacious, thatch-covered tents are the perfect place to relax during the day and soak up the atmosphere while looking across the lagoon towards Namibia.
Each tent has a deck with comfortable loungers, the sliding door leads into a sunken lounge area with a gauze window offering spectacular views over the lagoon. Go up a step to the open plan bedroom area, with a large dressing area behind. This leads to the bathroom, with double sinks, claw-foot bath, indoor shower, separate flush toilet and also and outdoor shower. The bathrooms boast the same spectacular view as the lounge/bedroom area.
The tent interiors are kept pleasant throughout the summer months by a mixture of overhanging thatch roofs, electric fans and the large gauze lined windows which allow cooling breezes through the tents.

Game drives (day, night, offroad), boat cruise, fishing & walking safaris. All with a guide and tracker
We use Land Cruisers 3 x rows of 3 seats with canopy, max 6 pax/vehicle for Game drives
We operate our game drives using a guide and tracker, this adds to the experience on two levels. You have two sets of eyes searching out the action, looking for tracks – this ensures a good chance of sightings, especially predators.
In addition, having the tracker out front, concentrating on tracking, means that the guide is more able to talk to clients, keep them informed and answer all their questions, it leads to a more relaxed, convivial game drive atmosphere.
As Lagoon is in a private concession we have the opportunity to drive off road in search of sightings – we have often been able to follow the wild dogs on their hunts. It also means we are able to drive at night with spotlights. 30% of fascinating mammals are mainly active at night, so this gives us more opportunities to view them.
Fishing is also offered at Lagoon for 10 months of the year, but is prohibited in January and February as this is peak breeding season. Basic equipment is supplied, but avid fly-fishers are advised to bring their own equipment. There is a double deck boat available at Lagoon for sunset cruises, the perfect way to spend an evening, meandering the waterways and watching the sun go down.
Lagoon Airstrip is approximately 15 minutes drive to the camp Lagoon Airstrip is approximately 1 hour's flight on light-aircraft from Maun or Kasane, provided there are no other stops along the way
Lagoon, like all Kwando Safaris' camps, is proudly wifi-free and network-free, offering you a pure safari experience
