Xakanaxa Camp, Okavango Delta

As passionate custodians of one of Botswana's original safari camps, the owners of Xakanaxa Camp have mindfully created an authentic bush camp that blends harmoniously with nature, whilst providing guests with exceptional comforts and extraordinary experiences. Located in the heart of the Moremi Game Reserve, the camp is set on the banks of the pristine Khwai River that overlooks the Xakanaxa Lagoon. The ancient riverine forests, open savannah, serpentine channels as well as seasonal floodplains which surround the camp, make for a varied habitat of exceptional fauna and flora. The camp is one of few offering a year-round land and water game viewing experience in open land rovers, powerboats or dug-out canoes known locally as mokoros. The diverse habitat ensures prolific sightings of Elephant, Buffalo, Wild Dog, Hyena, Giraffe, Hippo, Sable Antelope, Wildebeest, Kudu, Lechwe, Sitatunga, Lion, Leopard and Cheetah, amongst others. Birding is spectacular, especially in the spring and summer months when the migrants are breeding. The world famous Gcodikwe, Xhobega and Xakanaxa heronries, which attract large numbers of breeding storks and herons, are situated within reach of the camp. Safari activities are conducted by licensed guides eager to share their in-depth knowledge and treasured secrets of this great wilderness. In camp, a relaxed and friendly atmosphere together with personalised and caring service evokes a feeling of coming home.
