andBeyond Xaranna Okavango Delta Camp

• Each suite has private plunge pool and romantic sala
• Some of the most luxurious accommodation in the Delta
• Good selection of game activities
• Sweeping views over the water channels

Xaranna Okavango Delta Camp, like the water lily from which it takes its inspiration, lies in a watery wonderland on the edge of the permanent waters of the Okavango Delta. Surrounded by an exclusive 25,000 ha private wildlife concession, it offers some of the most luxurious accommodation in the Okavango Delta. Reachable only by boat during the high water season, Xaranna is a serene and remote camp with nine sleek and air-conditioned safari tents offering breathtaking views over the channel. Each tented suite has an indoor bath and outdoor shower, as well as a romantic sala (for those inviting afternoon siestas) and a private plunge pool.

The main areas of Xaranna are all positioned carefully to maximise the sweeping views out across the water channels, with classic tree line silhouettes. The intimate sitting area boasts a spacious games and reading area, perfect for afternoon relaxation whilst on safari. The innovative dining area features shady verandas overlooking the Okavango Delta.

Activities

Xaranna Okavango Delta Camp offers a water and wilderness experience with the excitement of viewing big game. Open 4x4 morning, afternoon and even night game drives set off in search of predators and other nocturnal animals. Other activities at Xaranna include boating and mokoro (traditional dugout canoe) trips on the delta, and guided game walks on the islands to track animals as they move silently through the bush. Given its watery terrain, this is not primarily an area for big game viewing, but more about enjoying the beauty and serenity of the Delta. However if birding is your thing then Xaranna would be perfect with many wetlands species on offer.

To reach Xaranna, you fly into the Xudum airstrip and then take a 45 minute game drive to the lodge. During the flood, this is a drive followed by a mokoro or boat ride into camp - a wonderful introduction to your time in the Delta.

Xaranna Okavango Delta Camp was featured on Conde Nast Traveller's Hot List. Sister camps include Nxabega Tented Camp, Sandibe Safari Lodge in the southern Okavango Delta, as well as its semi-mobile camps such as Chobe under Canvas and Savute under Canvas.
