Maxa is a unique and intimate safari camp dedicated to discovering a hidden and stunning section of the Okavango Delta. Positioned with a view over the expansive Maxa Lagoon, known for its frequent hippo sightings, the camp is located in the northeastern part of the delta where the Selinda Spillway begins.
The terrain features a series of permanent lagoons fed by seasonal channels, connecting vast grassy floodplains and islands of riverine woodland. This diverse landscape supports a wide array of wildlife, ensuring guests experience an engaging and immersive safari adventure.
Maxa Safari Camp’s distinctive layout includes a spacious lounge and dining area with freeform structures under light canvas roofs, partially enclosed by traditional clay walls. The camp’s "courtyard" is set between the lounge and dining spaces on white sand, adorned with picnic-style tables. This charming setup is perfect for enjoying meals in the refreshing shade or beneath the flickering stars.
Guests can savor freshly baked bread and muffins from Maxa’s wood-fired oven, which also produces other delectable meals crafted by the camp chef.
At the edge of the camp, overlooking the lagoon amidst the riverine forest, stands a cluster of ebony trees that create a natural enclosure. Here, a Sala features a cozy daybed, while an elevated deck offers a suspended cargo net hammock — a serene spot for guests to take in the surrounding wildlife and scenery.
With a capacity for up to 12 guests, the tented accommodations are both functional and comfortable. There are four well-crafted stretch canvas tents situated on elevated decks, each featuring an ensuite indoor bathroom and a complete outdoor open-air bathroom experience. The Maxa family tent includes two bedrooms with a shared ensuite bathroom and an outdoor bathing facility, making it ideal for families.

Zené Devine was outstanding to work with. I was trying to organize a Safari for a group, but I didn’t know how many people would actually join. I had a lot of unknowns and she was very helpful. Zené provided multiple options for us to choose from. She worked late every night until we were able to figure how many people were going and what lodge was going to work. She was able to work within the budgets provided. She was outstanding in every possible way. Always helpful, always kind, always available. I highly recommend working with safari.com and especially Zené.
