Xaranna Okavango Delta Camp is set in a private wilderness concession of 25 000 hectares (61 800 acres) to the southeast of the Moremi Wildlife Reserve in the centre of one of the most unique regions in the world, the Okavango Delta. Renowned for its lush waterways and abundant wildlife, the Okavango is home to a number of aquatic and land species, including the large African predators.
Located in northern Botswana, the Okavango River is a unique natural phenomenon - flowing more than 1 000 km (620 miles) from its source in Angola, this river disappears beneath the sands of Botswana, creating a lush inland delta in the midst of this otherwise arid country. The Okavango Delta is in a constant state of flux, expanding and contracting according to the rainy season. While some parts of the Delta remain permanently flooded, others are only deluged during the rainy season from May to September.
Covering approximately one third of the Delta, permanent swamp areas are lush and green, with groves of wild date palm, papyrus and water lilies growing around deep lagoons lined with riverine forest. Seasonal swamps, on the other hand, contain a network of small channels cutting their way through papyrus and reed beds to create islands of all shapes and sizes. Xaranna is located on the channels and lagoons of the southern, seasonal part of the Delta. Xaranna enjoys luxurious solitude on its own Delta island within a 25 000 hectare (62 000 acre) exclusive wildlife concession. It is a delightful, airy camp with just nine sleek ensuite safari tents that combine canvas and bleached timber. All the tents have sweeping views across the channels. Each tent has a romantic sala, private plunge pool, indoor bathtub and al fresco shower. Guests can experience guided walking safaris, interpretive game drives and traditional mokoro excursions. | Style | Chic contemporay canvas cottages on stilts | | Air/Con | Yes | | Dining | Yes | | Children | Yes | | No. of Bedrooms | 9 | | Pool | Private Plunge pools | | Activities | Game drives, mokoro, game walks, motor boats | | Price Range | From $550.00 per person sharing per night. |
