Accommodation - Botswana Okavango Delta at Prime Time June to Oct

Xigera Camp | Okavango Delta

“Paradise Island” is a fitting name for the location of this water wonderland camp, deep in the Okavango Delta. The ebb and flow of the annual inundation shapes this area of islands, channels and papyrus beds. Seasonal boat trips to shallow water lagoons enable swimming and other truly immersive experiences. Mokoro excursions are a speciality, as well as game drives on the productive Nxabega Island.

Xigera comprises nine luxury tents nestled between giant riverine forest trees, and connected by an elevated walkway. A highlight is reading the ‘morning news’ – the tracks of nocturnal visitors left behind in a sandpit on the bridge.

INSIDER'S TIP: This is the land of the elusive sitatunga antelope and Pel’s fishing-owl. Keep an eye out for these and other speciality sightings as you float along the serene channels of the Delta.

Wilderness Chitabe | Okavango Delta

Wilderness Chitabe’s location places it at the heart of a complex and beautiful mosaic of habitats, and this diversity results in Wilderness Chitabe being one of the most storied of all Botswana’s areas. Experienced, passionate guides are inspired by the intricate and dynamic landscapes to deliver wildlife experiences few other locations can match.

Eight elevated, meru-style guest tents provide the perfect human habitat, while a stroll along the elevated walkways connecting them to the main area is a safari experience in itself. Day and night drives, and guided walks, showcase the varied wildlife and landscapes of the Okavango.

Beyond the impressive wildlife encounters, guests can look forward to an elevated culinary journey which highlights the flavours of the Delta. The camp’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond its eco-conscious design to its light “food-print” and operational ethos, with solar power, sustainable cooling systems, and conservation initiatives woven into its daily operations.

INSIDER'S TIP: Learn more about the African wild dog packs of the area; if you’re lucky you’ll see some of these endangered carnivores.
