Bottom Line

This luxurious safari lodge in Botswana delivers everything you'd expect from the excellent &Beyond chain: amazing tents with plush beds, phenomenal service, tasty food, and safari excursions with first-rate guides. It's located in the Okavango Delta region, but on land, so you won't need to take a boat to and from the camp. Its peaceful location, beautiful delta views, lovely communal pool, and rustic-luxe design inspired by traditional African hut construction (complete with rich woods and thatched roofs) help make it a truly special place. But its 17,300-acre wildlife concession is smaller than you'll find at the nearby Xaranna, and the tents lack Xaranna's soaking tubs and private plunge pools.

andBeyond Nxabega Okavango Tented Camp

Location

In the wildlife-rich Okavango Delta region of Botswana

Xaranna Okavango Delta Camp is located along the beautiful Okavango Delta, the largest inland delta in the world, on a private 17,300-acre wildlife preserve. Arriving to the lodge requires a flight in a small plane from Maun to the camp's airstrip (where staff will be waiting) and a short ride in a safari vehicle.

Northern Botswana's diverse and exotic wildlife has made it a tourist destination for the affluent and adventurous, and the region now hosts a number of luxurious safari lodges. It embodies the fantasy of Africa: a land with open savannahs, sandy deserts, and shimmering orange sunsets, where elephants, lions, leopards hippos, buffalo, hyenas, zebra, cheetahs, crocodiles, and giraffes are still wild. Botswana has been a democracy since the 1960s, and is relatively wealthy (thanks to its diamond mines); crime rates are low and the locals are friendly.

  • 25-minute flight from Maun to the Nxabega camp airstrip
  • 15-minute drive in a safari vehicle from the airstrip to camp
  • If the Nxabega airstrip is closed, guests must arrive at the airstrip of a neighboring camp, a 2-hour-plus drive away
