Nxabega Okavango Safari Camp
Nxabega Okavango Safari Camp provides guests with a phenomenal camping safari in Botswana Okavango Delta. The world-renowned “And Beyond” (previously CC Africa) style is evident, as they created a stylish, luxurious and sophisticated space in a wild and scenic setting. Nxabega means "Place of the Giraffe" in the language of the Bayei, who live in remote parts of the Okavango.
Nxabega is on the edge of the Delta and borders the Moremi Game Reserve. The camp houses a maximum of 18 guests in nine luxury tents. The tents are raised on decks and are hidden under African Ebony and Strangler Fig trees, and face out toward magnificent permanent lagoons and channels of the Delta. The lodge offers a tranquil and remote feel as well as an abundance of wildlife that roam the surrounding area. Guests could spot sable, giraffe, zebra, buffalo, lion and elephant amongst many others.
Accommodation
Nxabega offers nine spacious tents that aim to give guests a rugged yet luxurious stay and are all beautifully decorated in an East African style. These exclusive tents surround the magnificent guest area. Despite being sheltered by dense forest thickets, the views from the private veranda on each tent allows for unobstructed views over the ever-changing Delta. Rooms have cowhide rugs on the floor, ostrich egg chandeliers, leather headboards and porcupine quill lamp shades, while the chocolate tones of the wood and burnished teak floorboards create a warm atmosphere. A large en-suite shower provides the perfect start to the morning and will leave guests feeling refreshed and ready for a day filled with activities.
