Kwando Safaris' camp of tented suites on stilts in the Kwando Private Concession, which spans 232,000 hectares in the far north of Botswana, west of the park. Kwando describes itself as 'a proudly 100% citizen owned Botswana company', which makes Lebala and its sister Lagoon the only citizen-owned places to stay in this list. Concession rules allow off-road tracking drives, night drives, nature walks and helicopter safaris. There are eight suites and one family suite. Guests fly about 45 minutes from Maun or Kasane to the Lebala airstrip, 20 minutes from camp, and a free three-hour road transfer links Lebala with Lagoon. Kwando publishes no rates.

What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Chobe National Park charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entryP270 a day for non-residents, roughly $20 at P13.5 to the dollar.
- $20per person, per day
- VehicleP115 a day for a foreign-registered vehicle, roughly $9 (P30 for a Botswana-registered or hired car).
- $9per vehicle, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $147 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.
The full fee schedule for Chobe National ParkRates at Lebala Camp
Rates on request. Kwando Safaris publishes no rates. The price band shown is an estimate for a Kwando concession camp; ask Kwando for a quote.
What the rate covers is not confirmed. We do not know yet whether meals, drinks and activities are included, so read this as the bed only.
Every figure on this page is in US dollars.
Rates checked on 4 October 2026, per person per night sharing, from each property's own website or rate sheet where one is published. Desert & Delta, Belmond, &Beyond, Bush Ways, Machaba and several Kasane lodges publish none, so those figures come from two resellers, chobe.com and the Siyabona network (safari.co.za), and are marked as a reseller rate; the houseboat and Ichingo figures from chobe.com are in South African rand. SKL's campsite table is undated. Kwando Safaris, African Bush Camps and several smaller lodges publish no rates at all. Park entry is P270 per non-resident per day for a private visitor and P190 on an operator's activity, and many Kasane packages leave it out, so check what your rate includes.
Questions about Lebala Camp
Is Lebala Camp citizen-owned?
Kwando Safaris, which runs Lebala, describes itself as a proudly 100 percent citizen-owned Botswana company. That makes Lebala and Lagoon the only citizen-owned places to stay in this list.
Can you do night drives at Lebala?
Yes. Kwando lists off-road tracking game drives, night drives, nature walks and helicopter safaris, all possible because the camp is in a private concession outside the national park.
What does Lebala Camp cost?
Kwando publishes no rates. Ask info@kwando.co.bw for a quote, and ask about combining Lebala with Lagoon by the free three-hour road transfer.
