Here the permanent waters of
the Okavango embrace the Kalahari thirstland. Ancient riverine
forests and open savannah interweave with secret lagoons, serpentine
channels and seasonal floodplains to create a habitat of unequalled
beauty and abundance.
This biodiversity endows Xakanaxa Camp with a true year round
land and water experience. Elephant, Buffalo, Lion, Leopard,
Cheetah, Wild Dog, Hyena, Giraffe, Hippo, Sable Antelope, Wildebeest,
Kudu, Lechwe, Sitatunga and many more predator and antelope
are resident. Most of Botswana’s national bird list of
550 species are resident or migrants, and include Pel’s
Fishing Owl and Slaty Egret. You will track great herds on extensive
safaris by open Land Rover, by powerboat or serene dugout canoe
in the company of professional licensed rangers. As
the custodians of one of Botswana’s pioneer camps the
owners of Xakanaxa Camp have gone to extraordinary lengths to
preserve its original African bush camp character whilst providing
you with every comfort.
It is one of the few Botswana lodges that can offer all year
round boating trips, as well as extensive 4x4 drives into outstanding
game country. The Moremi Reserve is rated as one of Africa’s
finest game-viewing areas, offering sanctuary to abundant herds
of elephant, sable, giraffe, tsessebe, lechwe, wildebeest, impala
and waterbuck. Lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog and hyena complete
the picture.
Birding is quite spectacular, especially during spring and summer
when the migrants breed. Huge numbers of breeding storks and
herons are attracted to the world-famous heronries which lies
to the north of the lodge. Nature walks on nearby islands. Our
guests are offered two activities of their choice per day, or
even an all-day outing can be arranged.
