Lebala means wide open spaces in Setswana and the scenery is dominated by vast plains with scattered palms and tree clumps backed by wooded savannas.
This wild expanse is contrasted with the casual elegance and luxury of the camp itself. The wetlands and flood plains around Lebala offer a wonderful variety of wildlife with excellent sightings of elephant, hippo, lechwe, zebra, giraffe, impala, wildebeest, kudu, tsessebe, roan, sable, buffalo and the ever present predators; wild dog, lion, cheetah and hyena.
The camp consists of eight spacious tent, each built on a raised teak deck, laid out with maximum comfort and privacy in mind. The tents have an entrance foyer with a reading and writing area, en-suite bathrooms with Victorian clawfoot bathtubs, "his and hers" washbasins and flush toilets. The bathrooms lead out to a reed enclosed open-air shower with hot and cold running water. Each secluded tent has its own sundeck, is set back among the trees and the endless vistas across the vast plains make Lebala one of the finest wilderness camps in Africa.
Activities centre around open vehicle game drives and walking safaris (although game walks are at the guides' discretion due to the large concentration of Elephant). Lebala Camp also offers off road and night game drives - the latter being a speciality at Lebala because of the high-visibility plains.
