Xakanaxa Camp

Located inside Botswana’s Moremi Game Reserve, the camp sits along the Khwai River with panoramic views across the Xakanaxa Lagoon. This corner of the Okavango combines classic floodplain scenery, reed-lined channels, and pockets of riverine woodland, creating excellent habitat for elephant, hippo, red lechwe, and predators. Because local waterways remain navigable year-round, guests can experience the Delta’s land and water safaris in every season. Access is typically via light aircraft to a nearby airstrip, followed by a short game-drive transfer that doubles as your first wildlife introduction.

The camp generally accommodates guests in around a dozen spacious, en-suite safari tents set on raised timber decks for airflow and views. Interiors balance canvas charm with practical comforts such as proper beds, storage, and private bathrooms with flush toilets and hot showers. Each tent opens to a furnished veranda overlooking the river or floodplain—ideal for quiet wildlife watching between activities. Thoughtful spacing between tents preserves privacy and the natural soundscape, while simple, tasteful décor keeps the focus on the surrounding wilderness.

Central guest areas include a lounge, bar, and dining spaces flowing onto broad decks positioned for lagoon and river views. A swimming pool offers a refreshing pause in the warmer months, and a small reference library supports keen birders and naturalists. Evenings often gather around a fire pit, with hosted meals that alternate between indoor and al-fresco boma dining depending on conditions. Operations emphasize low-impact comforts—reliable lighting, charging points at set times, and attentive hosting—so days revolve around unhurried safari routines.
