&Beyond Xaranna Okavango Delta Camp - Find Xaranna Okavango Delta Camp set privately in its own wilderness of 61,800 acres.

Southeast of Moremi Wildlife Reserve, Botswana, the camp sits in the centre of one of the most unique regions in the world, the Okavango Delta. Witness lush waterways and abundant wildlife, as Okavango is home to an amazing inventory of aquatic and land species, including large African predators.

Located in northern Botswana, Okavango River is a unique natural phenomenon, flowing more than 1,000 kilometres from its source in Angola. You will be amazed to discover this river disappears beneath the sands of Botswana, creating a lush inland delta in the midst of this otherwise arid country. Marvel at how the Okavango Delta is in a constant state of flux, expanding and contracting according to rainy seasons. While some parts of the Delta remain permanently flooded, others are only deluged during the rainy season from October to April.

See approximately one third of the Delta covered with permanent lush and green swamp areas, as groves of wild date palm, papyrus and water lilies grow around deep lagoons lined with riverine forest. Note how seasonal swamps contain a network of small channels cutting their way through papyrus and reed beds, to

create islands of many shapes and sizes. Xaranna is located on the channels and lagoons of the southern, seasonal part of the Delta.

1.

Xaranna enjoys tranquil solitude on its own Delta island. Taking its inspiration from the water lily, it is a delightful camp with just nine sleek en-suite safari tents combining canvas and bleached timber. Travellers have sweeping views from all rooms across the channels. Romantics will savour the sala, private plunge pool, indoor bathtub and al fresco showers. Guests experience guided walking safaris, interpretive game drives and traditional mokoro excursions.

Notice the attention to details throughout your camp stay, from the needlework on cotton bed trimmings and wildlife-sewn pillows, to selected handicraft baskets and wood carvings, to those cuddly stuffed hippos offered as perfect Africa souvenirs for loved ones back home.
