NXABEGA OKAVANGO SAFARI CAMP


           
 


Introduction
Nxabega Okavango Safari Camp is located on the edge of the Okavango Delta in a 7 000-hectare (17 300-acre) exclusive wildlife concession bordering the Moremi Game Reserve in Botswana. Meaning 'Place of the Giraffe', Nxabega is ideally positioned to explore the magnificence of the Okavango - the largest inland delta in the world. A wetland wilderness of looping channels, islands forested with palms and wide grassy floodplains, the Delta is home to a magnificent array of wild animals and exceptional birdlife.

 
 

Facilities
Ten East African-style safari tents on raised wooden platforms with private decks overlooking a floodplain. All tents have an en suite shower and w.c, and are elegantly furnished with wardrobes, luggage racks, chairs, dressing tables and bedside tables. The magnificently elevated main building is onstructed in local timber, reed and thatch with sweeping views. The camp comprises a dining room, sitting room and expansive decks. There is outside dining and a swimming pool and Safari Shop.

Activities
Twice-daily game-drives:
Experiencedrangers and Batswana trackers will lead you on exhilarating game-drives in open 4x4 safari vehicles. Exciting spotlit night game-drives may reveal hunting prides of lion or the elusive leopard and other nocturnal creatures.

Tranquil mokoro (dugout canoe) and boat excursions:
Few memories can equal being poled through the channels of the delta in a mokoro or on a boat excursion. These activities are best from June to September.

Exceptional birdwatching:
Nxabega offers abundant bird-watching opportunities with 349 species recorded here. The area is rich in wetland species such as African jacana, malachite kingfisher and openbilled stork. You have an excellent chance of spotting Pel’s fishing owl – one of only three fishing owls in Africa – while enjoying a mokoro or boat excursion.

Fishing:
With myriad fish species including the finetoothed squeaker and African pike, fishing from Nxabega's powerboat is an enjoyable excursion.
