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.

Wonderful Pre-Travel Experience with Zené!
Our trip to South Africa is coming up next week, and working with Zené to plan it has been an absolute pleasure! She has created a beautifully personalized itinerary for us, from Cape Town and Victoria Falls to a luxury lodge in Kruger Park, and has organized every detail with care. Her responsiveness, attention to detail, and helpful travel tips (shared through a WhatsApp group!) have made planning stress-free and exciting. It already feels like working with a friend who truly wants our trip to be perfect!
