The camp is known for its elegant tented accommodation, which boasts breathtaking views of both mature mopane woodlands and seasonally flooded grasslands. You have the priceless opportunity to discover the myriad wildlife wonders of this diverse land-water Okavango location.
Blending harmoniously with the environment, nine tented suites (including a family option) set on raised wooden platforms, are cradled under a canopy of towering ebony trees. Each spacious unit features a luxurious bed, an extended private veranda complete with a shaded sitting area, irresistible hanging daybed, and glorious Delta outlooks. The open-designed ensuite bathroom has both an indoor and screened outdoor rainshower, with a flush toilet enclosed by stylish canvas panels.
Beautiful views, teak floors and a high pitched, open-truss ceiling frame the central guest area. Expansive indoor and outdoor sitting and dining areas include a range of guest-pleasure amenities: an interactive food and coffee bar, complete with our trained baristas; an extensive pool area with inviting loungers and shaded salas; a dedicated massage sala and a spectacular open-air boma, set under the dappled shade of the camp’s massive ebony trees – ideal for those buffet feasts under the stars.
Explore the thrilling wildlife diversity of this large private concession on exclusive morning and afternoon game drives that continue after sunset. The varied landscape also lends itself to a wealth of bird species which includes the exciting possibility of sighting the elusive Pel’s fishing owl after nightfall.
Go fish: seasonal catch-and-release fishing excursions take place in the Panhandle region, where the Okavango River feeds into the labyrinth of channels and lagoons that make up the heart of the Delta wetland. Try your hand at catching an engaging variety of fish that include the predatory tiger fish.
Take to the air. With many of the Delta’s remote areas generally inaccessible, an aerial perspective is one of the best ways to get a true feeling for the Delta’s vast land-water spaces. Keen photographers can choose to have the doors removed for unrestricted views of the unfolding vistas.
Examine the often-overlooked aspects of the natural world, and unravel its marvelous intricacies and simple truths. Experience this private concession on foot, free from the constraints of roads and vehicles. Observe and learn as your guide expertly interprets the signs and sounds of the bush.
In 2018, a solar photovoltaic (PV) plant and a Tesla Powerpack Battery
Energy Storage System (BESS) was installed. Generator time has been
dramatically reduced, with 80% of Nxabega’s total energy consumption
now supplied by this ‘green’ technology.
