Camp Xakanaxa

Year-round wildlife viewing

In the heart of the Moremi Game Reserve, Camp Xakanaxa is a homely yet classic safari camp overlooking the banks of the Khwai River. Offering year-round land and water-based safaris, game drives in 4x4 vehicles leave early morning and late afternoon in search of the reserve’s larger mammals including lion, elephant, leopard, buffalo, zebra and giraffe. Boats are used to explore the channels of the lagoon where hippos wallow and where you may also see lechwe antelope that favour wetland areas.

The public areas are built of traditional thatch and reed connected by wooden walkways leading to elevated wildlife-viewing decks. There are two swimming pools with a deck for a spot of sunbathing, while the sala with a day bed is perfect if you're looking for some relaxing downtime. In the evening, the campfire is lit as the sounds of Africa echo around the camp.
