Nxabega Okavango Tented Camp

A maze of sparkling lagoons, meandering channels and overgrown islands teeming with wildlife, Botswana’s Okavango Delta lies like a sparkling jewel at the heart of the Kalahari Desert. Known as the river that never finds the sea, the Delta’s crystal-clear channels spread over the thirstlands of the Kalahari with their papyrus-fringed banks and fertile floating islands. Adapted for a life in and out of the water, the elegant red lechwe and shy sitatunga are found in this watery wilderness.

&Beyond Nxabega Okavango Tented Camp is located in a 61775-acre exclusive wildlife concession on the edge of the Okavango Delta, bordering the Moremi Game Reserve. Ideally positioned to explore the magnificence of the Okavango, the camp is known for its elegant tented accommodation, which boasts breath-taking views of the everchanging Delta. Blending skilfully with the environment, nine exclusive tented suites, set on raised wooden platforms, are tucked beneath a canopy of ebony trees.

Each spacious tent features a luxurious bed that faces the beautiful views of a reed-filled floodplain; an ensuite bathroom with an indoor and al fresco shower and a sprawling veranda with a spacious sitting area and a private sala.
A family tent, consisting of two luxury tents joined by a walkway, offers the perfect setting for families to enjoy the wonders of the Delta.

Activities include day and night game drives, guided bush walks, walking with Bushmen excursion, bird watching, a children’s programme that includes treasure hunts and other activities, fishing trips along hippo trails amongst the Delta grasses (seasonal), motorized boat excursions (seasonal) and mokoro excursions. A traditional mokoro (dugout canoe) ride explores the delicate details of the glistening waterways, where iridescent dragonflies, frogs of every color and jewel-like kingfishers live in the papyrus-lined banks.

Lion, cheetah, leopard and African wild dog share the floodplains with large herds of elephant and buffalo.
Hippo inhabit the deeper channels and lagoons, while honeybadgers can be seen in broad daylight. Tall termite mounds are homes for families of dwarf and banded mongoose.
