Camp Xakanaxa, Moremi Game Reserve, Botswana
A Luxury Tented Camp in Botswana
Camp Details
The prime location of Camp Xakanaxa (pronounced Ka-ka-na-ka) on the banks of the Khwai River on the Xakanaxa Lagoon, in the heart of the Moremi Game Reserve, makes it one of the very few safari camps that offers guests an authentic, year-round Okavango Delta land and water safari experience.
The camp accommodates twenty-four guests in eleven spacious all-canvas, classic Meru-style luxury safari tents and one two bedroom family tent, each with en suite showers, hand basins and toilet facilities. Situated around the fringe of the lagoon, every tent has a private viewing deck with comfortable loungers. Camp Xakanaxa is one of the few camps in Botswana which still offers the essence of a classic tented camp.
WHY CHOOSE CAMP XAKANAXA?

- Safari activities are conducted by licensed guides eager to share their in-depth knowledge and impart the treasured secrets of this great wilderness.
Questions about Camp Xakanaxa
Can we do both water and land safaris here all year?
That is the camp's main claim. Its position on the banks of the Khwai River on the Xakanaxa Lagoon, in the heart of Moremi Game Reserve, makes it one of very few camps offering an authentic year-round Okavango Delta land and water experience, rather than water only when the flood is in.
What sort of tents are they?
Classic Meru-style, all canvas, which is increasingly rare in Botswana. There are eleven of them plus one two-bedroom family tent, each with en-suite shower, hand basin and toilet, arranged around the fringe of the lagoon with a private viewing deck and loungers. The camp takes 24 guests.
What wildlife should we expect, and can children come?
The mix of ancient riverine forest, open savannah, channels and seasonal floodplains supports elephant, buffalo, hyena, giraffe, hippo, wildebeest, kudu, lechwe, lion and leopard among others, with licensed guides leading activities. Children over six are welcome. Rates run from US$690 to US$1,290 per person per night depending on season.
