Nxamaseri Island Lodge
CEDARBERG RATING
Premier
Overview
Nxamaseri Island Lodge a charming and pictureque lodge, set on an island in the panhandle of the Okavango Delta. This must be one of the most breathtakingly beautiful areas in Botswana. As one of the oldest lodges in the Delta it has its own unique charm and atmosphere, but it has recently been completely refurbished and so offers a good standard of accommodation. The lodge has 7 double chalets and a family chalet.
The lodge offers water-based activities, including boating and mokoro trips among the network of channels that make up the area. Nxamaseri is one of the top bird watching and fishing destinations in the country and specialises in both, with expert and enthusiastic guides guaranteed to make your experience a memorable one.
Nxamaseri is also close to the magical Tsodilo Hills, a world heritage site and one of Botswana’s greatest treasures. The hills are home to some 2,000 rock art paintings by the Bushmen (San) people. The lodge offers guided day trips to Tsodilo Hills, where you can enjoy a variety of walking trails to different sights. You are also able to hike up the Hill (reasonable level of fitness required for the latter) to enjoy panoramic views over the Panhandle. Recently they have also built a fly-camp close to the Hills so that now you can head out to the Hills in the afternoon, check out some of the rock art in the late afternoon, sleep at the fly-camp and then enjoy another walk in the early morning before heading back to camp in time for lunch.

Nxamaseri – Kate’s Review
What a special place is Nxamaseri! It was a BIG favourite with us. This is a wonderful lodge to include for longer itineraries, especially if you fancy a bit of a break from early morning game drives. The camp is in an exceptionally pretty location and is a very attractive camp as well. It offers … Read More
