We enjoyed our stay at Xakanaxa. Our welcome at the airport left something to be desired, but luckily, things improved from there. Tents are very thoughtfully set up and comfortable. Enjoyed listening to the hippos at night and the amazing painted reed frogs - what a symphony! We had good game viewing, including leopard and cape buffalo. However, as this... More

We spent 3 nights at the Xakanaxa camp in the Okavango as the first safari stop of our trip. Overall, we had a great time staying there - the staff was especially amazing. The camp is situated right next to the water where we could see and hear hippos and other animals nearby, even from our tent at night. The... More

A fantastic three nights. A wonderfully comfortable bed over looking the delta. How they get the bed shhets so clean and pressed in the middle of nowhere is beyond me. Hearing hippos at night and seeing leopards and lions during the day was great. We were lucky enough to see wild dogs twice. Ngrande was our guide. He has a... More

We booked the stay with TRAVEL WILD and HELIKOPTER HORIZONS. We can only recommend the very good service and guidence by both agencies. We booked lacally and direct with above agencies. The price was less than half what we have been offered, trying to book from Europe. The Heli flight was great and well worth the little extra cost, flying... More

We spent 3 days at Xakanaxa Camp in Botswana. The tents are spacious, tastefully decorated and cooled by a sprinkler system that trickles over the roof during the heat of the day. The paraffin lamps at night bring an air of charm and harmony, once the sun goes down. The communal eating and lounge area is tastefully "African" in Decor... More

This is a truly excellent Game/Safari Lodge, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the food was very good and the atmosphere superb. The Game drives were very good and we saw almost everything including Lions and a large male Leopard at only 3 metres distance, even though it was not reckoned to be the best month for game viewing...

Xakanaxa is a relatively large camp by Botswana standards with 13 tents and by comparison to some of the private concession camps we have stayed at I found it a bit impersonal and more hotel-like with its absolutely fixed activity/meal times. The tents are lovely and spotlessly clean all overlooking the lagoon. Food was consistently good with plenty of choice.... More
