"Botswana Moremi Lodge"
Xakanaxa Camp Moremi Botswana.
Xakanaxa accommodates only 24 guests in
twelve classic safari tents on raised platforms set on the banks of
the Khwai River, each with a private viewing deck overlooking the
Xakanaxa Lagoon. Each tent is tastefully furnished with twin or double
beds and en-suite facilities with shower, hand basin and ablution
facilities. A water sprinkler system aids cooling in the midday heat.
The stylish main buildings extend into the Khwai River and are set on raised platforms to maximize the views over the surrounding lagoons and islands. Constructed of local timber, reed and thatch they comprise of an elegant lounge containing a small but comprehensive library, dining room, expansive sundeck, plunge pool and sala with day bed as well as a fire-deck set under giant Jackalberry trees. The reception lounge boasts a curio shop and facilities are provided for charging videos, cameras and batteries. The camp operates on generator power but at night all lighting is supplied by gas and paraffin lanterns, giving the camp an authentic African ambience.
Bob and Flo Flaxman, ably assisted by
Lettie Letsile create a camp environment in which guests experience a
seamless service in the warm, friendly style for which Africa is
famous. The kitchen is renowned for its traditional safari fare served
with a Pan-African touch, all accompanied by excellent South African
wines. Meals are generally taken around the main dining room table
where tales of the day’s exciting experiences are recounted and
discussed in great detail. We do also cater individually for guests
wishing to dine in private.

You will track great herds on extensive safaris by open Land Rover, by powerboat or serene dugout canoe in the company of professional licensed rangers. As the custodians of one of Botswana’s pioneer camps the owners of Xakanaxa Camp have gone to extraordinary lengths to preserve its original African bush camp character whilst providing you with every comfort.
It is one of the few Botswana lodges that can offer all year round boating trips, as well as extensive 4x4 drives into outstanding game country.

Lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog and hyena complete the picture.
Birding is quite spectacular, especially during spring and summer when the migrants breed. Huge numbers of breeding storks and herons are attracted to the world-famous heronries which lies to the north of the lodge. Nature walks on nearby islands. Our guests are offered two activities of their choice per day, or even an all-day outing can be arranged.
