Nxabega Okavango Tented Camp was formerly known as Nxabega Safari Camp. Located in a private concession within the world-famous Okavango Delta, this camp is situated in an area of forest woodlands and floodplains, just to the west of Chief’s Island. Combining the best of both worlds, guests have the benefit of both game drives and mokoro and boating activities.
In this remote region, game viewing takes place in lush grasslands and in the intricate waterways of the Okavango Delta, while the rugged style Botswana accommodation of luxury canvas tents merges with elegance similar to an exclusive club.
Nxabega means “Place of the Giraffe”, and is idyllic in its position to explore the magnificent channels and safari adventures within the game-rich Okavango Delta. You may come across aquatic antelope uniquely adapted to their surroundings, grazing lechwe, or birders might be lucky enough to spot the Pel’s fishing owl that swoops across the Delta at night.
Raised on wooden platforms, this safari chic Botswana accommodation offers only 9 spacious tents – all built under massive ebony trees to let in the sights and sound of the African bush. Cowhide rugs and warm tones lend an air of relaxation. Each has a private en-suite bathroom with large shower to refresh you after a day on safari, followed by a relaxing sundowner on your private deck, overlooking the water’s edge.
Enjoy a tranquil excursion by mokoro or trail through the reeds in a canoe, coming up close and personal to frogs, kingfishers and amazing plant life. Don’t forget the Big 5 and the very shy tree climbing leopard.
Guest areas are cosy to while away the afternoon heat… take refuge in the shade of the thatch while enjoying the majesty of your surroundings.
