Ultimate safari exclusivity along the banks of a river
An intimate treehouse set within dramatic rift valley beauty
Due to lower than usual water levels for this time of year, water activities aren’t yet available at both &Beyond Nxabega Okavango Tented Camp and Xaranna Okavango Delta Camp. The late rains in the Angola highlands, means the water needs time to flow down the Okavango River and into the Delta.
This, however, provides guests with the unique opportunity to experience the Okavango Delta from a different perspective, exploring and appreciating beautiful landscapes that are usually hidden underwater at this time of year. Additionally, the lower water levels make for exceptional game viewing and photographic opportunities as animals tend to congregate around current water sources.
Explore a few of our top adventures that not only bring your guests closer to nature, but also celebrate the beauty of the Okavango in all its glory.
Hot air balloon flight rates from 01 July 2023 are now available at &Beyond Sossusvlei Desert Lodge.
&Beyond Phinda Forest Lodge at &Beyond Phinda Private Game Reserve will be temporarily closed for an extensive refurbishment from 27 May 2023 to 30 November 2023, opening 01 December 2023.
The restorations and upgrades will ensure that this celebrated destination will be even more memorable and retain the high standards it is globally renowned for. In keeping with our core ethos, the completion of this project will have little ecological impact on the environment, as it has always has been at Phinda Forest Lodge.
Lodge improvements include the upgrade of all interiors, with some structural changes to the existing suites and main guest area, as well as a re-imagined lodge swimming pool, with a new shaded sala. Guests can also look forward to the addition of a new Family Suite, as well as sitting area and library, with a shaded outdoor space. The new-look Phinda Forest Lodge will also feature a well-equipped gym and wellness spa.
Watch this space for renders in the near future.
