General information

Nxabega Okavango Safari Camp, has opened in Botswana's Okavango Delta. The world-renowned CC Africa styling team have again worked their magic, creating another private safari lodge bearing their stamp of understated sophistication. Luxury is gracefully and discreetly integrated into the primal pleasure of life on safari.

Nxabega means "Place of the Giraffe" in the language of the "River Bushmen", the Bayei, who live in remote parts of the Okavango. Nxabega is on the edge of the Delta on the western border of Moremi Game Reserve. The camp houses a maximum of 18 guests, and nestles under a dense stand of African Ebony and Strangler Fig trees. Ten East African safari tents stand on raised wooden platforms with private verandahs. Nxabega is ideally located for a combined visit to Sandibe Safari Lodge, in the south-east of the Delta.

Nxabega has excellent game viewing opportunities all year round. The camp is a unique combination of the Okavango water wilderness experiences of poling in a mokoro (dugout canoe) and boating, with guided wilderness walks and big game watching on evening game drives. Lion and hyena are routinely seen in camp at night - birding is exceptional.

Location

Nxabega is on the edge of the Delta in a 7000 hectare exclusive wildlife concession on the western border of Moremi Game Reserve.

Activities

Morning and afternoon/early evening game drives in open Land Rovers afford unmatched year-round adventures into Okavango's kaleidoscopic paradise. The camp is unique in that it combines the Okavango water wilderness experience with the excitement of viewing the big game associated with land camps on game drives. On the evening game drives, the night time wilderness is lit up by a spotlight, revealing an elusive, primeval nocturnal world. The Delta is an ideal walking area and activities include expertly guided bush walks. These are offered daily and are accompanied by an experienced tracker. Excellent boating and mokoro (dugout canoe) excursions can be enjoyed during the Okavango flood season (June to September).

 

Rooms

Ten East African-style safari tents, nestled under a canopy of African ebony trees, have stylish en suite bathrooms and private verandas overlooking the reeded molapo (floodplain). Nxabega is an intimate camp, offering the height of sophistication and style within the heart of the Okavango Delta. All tents have an en suite shower and w.c, and are elegantly furnished with wardrobes, luggage racks, chairs, dressing tables and bedside tables.

Dining

CC Africa's award-winning Pan-African cuisine combines wholesome African flavours with innovative flair and sophistication. From breakfast in bed, lamplit cocktails on a river island to walking picnics, the staff at Nxabega handle any special requests with delightful aplomb. Private bush dinners are an incomparable end to the day. Bush dinners are served in a clearing in the bush under a star-studded sky. Dining under the stars is an unforgettable African bush experience.
