Camp Xakanaxa Exterior

Overview

One of Botswana’s original safari camps, Xakanaxa (pronounced Ka-ka-na-ka) is an authentic bush camp which blends harmoniously with its surroundings. Located on the banks of the Khwai River, overlooking the Xakanaxa Lagoon and surrounded by riverine forests, savanna and floodplains, the camp is perfect for a year-round game experience.

Rooms

There are twelve canvas Meru-style safari tents in the camp, including one which is slightly larger for families. All are en-suite with a shower, wash basin and toilet and an outside deck where private views of the river can be enjoyed.

Facilities

Also set on raised wooden platforms under the shade of towering trees, Xakanaxa’s thatched dining room, lounge/bar area, curio shop, fire deck and a swimming pool provide a restful sanctuary with magnificent river views.

Due to the area’s diversity, there are many activities from which to choose: game drives, boat or mokoro trips, your knowledgeable guides will advise on which flora and fauna to look out for, depending on the season.

"The holiday was absolutely fantastic. Saw all the big 5 except rhinos.The accommodation was top class (lovely big beds), the people who staffed it were so friendly, guides were so knowledgeable, you really felt they wanted you to visit their country. We did a helicopter tour over Victoria falls, which were awe inspiring - another highlight of the holiday. All the transfers were smooth and efficient and this reduced any stress in the holiday, loved the small plane hops between camps in Botswana. We had an unforgettable holiday and will be boring our friends and family with it for months. Thanks for your help in organising this wonderful holiday. "

"Back home after another fabulous holiday. The lodges were all of the same high standard of cleanliness, food quality and presentation with all members of staff helpful, friendly and as immaculately turned out as we remember from 4 years ago. The guides were all brilliant with their knowledge, enthusiasm and great sense of humour. We did a 4 hour game walk-brilliant! Again a great holiday - may well return in a few years!!"

We had a fabulous trip staying at 3 lodges in Botswana. My late husband and I were keen bird watchers and I donated his binoculars to one of the lodges there, for which they were very appreciative. Thank you for everything you did.
