“A timeless tent camp by the lagoon, for those who love the true safari feel, but with style and comfort.”

Camp Xakanaxa, (okay, it’s helpful to know how to pronounce it, right? Pronounce it: ka-ka-na-ka) is located in an iconic spot in the heart of the Okavango Delta, on the banks of the Khwai River. In a place where the water is never far away. This classic tent camp, which has been around for decades, offers one of the most consistent safari experiences in Moremi Game Reserve. From the lodge, you can hear hippos snorting and see elephants drinking at the lagoon. Here, the real Africa comes to life. Day and night.

Camp Xakanaxa is atmospheric and stylish
Camp Xakanaxa consists of twelve beautiful canvas safari tents on wooden platforms, each with an ensuite bathroom, private veranda, and breathtaking views over the water. The style is warm, authentic, and classic, without compromising on comfort. So actually, you don’t even have to go on safaris here; you can enjoy the wild Botswana from your ‘home by the water.’ But well, if you are here anyway…

Old safari camp with modern flair
The central lounge, dining area, and bar of Camp Xakanaxa are located on a large deck overlooking the lagoon. Tip: a perfect spot for a sundowner. Of course, there is also a small pool here for cooling off between safaris. The atmosphere of the Camp with its friendly staff can be described as follows: informal, warm, and welcoming. Here, everything revolves around the pure nature experience.
