Nxabega Okavango Tented Camp

We fell in love with the staff at this camp. Our guide (Candrew) and butler (Kedi) made us feel like the entire camp was centered on us. On our excursions, we saw pretty much everything that the area had to offer (including the Big 5). We even got to experience a pride of lionesses trying to bring down a rhino – without success. One evening during dinner the staff snuck up to sing to us, with a cake, for our 20th anniversary. And we would both highly recommend this camp to others.

‘Nxabega offers a luxury tented camp experience with expansive views overlooking the floodplains of the Okavango Delta. Each tent is built on its own private wooden deck and my favourite place was sitting in the wooden swing at the edge of the deck. The game veiwing in this area is impressive and and both water and land activities can be enjoyed if the water levels are high enough. A perfect camp for an all-round excellent Okavango Delta experience.’

The camps in Botswana were awesome! We loved them, the team, the scenery, the tents…..the food….everything!

We loved every bit of our stay. Our guides were outstanding, we loved the canoe trip, sunset drinks on the shore, the safari drives and the knowledge of our guide and spotter, the boat trip, morning and afternoon teas in the wild, the attention of our own butler, the food, the rooms, the personal attention of the young managers and the way every need was accommodated and met with minimum fuss. The wildlife was not profuse but we saw a leopard, elephants, a lion, zebras, buffalo, antelope, wildebeest, giraffes, hyenas, hippos and colorful birds. Overall every minute of our stay was wonderful and the flight to Maun via another lodge was panoramic and overall Nxabega very best way to finish up an incredible 18 days.

The operations here run like ‘clock-work’ and in-camp guests are treated to wonderful tented accommodation, delicious food, great staff and best of all – an abundance of game!

The accommodation was fantastic, food great, people friendly.

The Nxabega camp was very luxurious, in fact I would not call it a camp as it was as good as a five star hotel. Again, the food, service and general amenities were top of the range. In all three of these, the guides were first class and went to considerable trouble to find animals and to provide all our needs and requests. Indeed, I found that all staff in the three locations were extremely friendly and helpful and made us feel “at home”. I did like the complete upfront payment covering all food, alcahol and clothes washing, it really made us feel cared for.

We had a fabulous time and it was an amazing experience for my mother in law for her first safari. Both the lodges were lovely and made us feel so welcome with a nice touch from the Savuti Safari Lodge giving us a bottle of bubbly for our anniversary and the food expecially at Nxabega was absolutely delicious.

Nxabega was especially good- with the mokora ride, motor boat ride, and the armed walk. Loved it all.

All the camps were fabulous – a different experience in each one. Nxgabega was lovely as well – again the all the members of staff were charming and helpful .
