Kadizora Camp

Simply outstanding. Food, accommodation, service, efficiency, location, staff - I could go on, but you get the idea. The camp manager - Mathew - is a total star: nothing was too much trouble, and he was friendly, amazingly efficient, went out of his way to ensure we were totally satisfied with everything. Our guide/driver (Sparks) was brilliant, and ensured we saw every living thing in the Okavango Delta. Mathew even arranged for the camp staff to sing a few songs for us at dinner on our final night, since the holiday was to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary - and it was emotional! I can't recommend Kadizora highly enough - you simply MUST go.....

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
