NXABEGA OKAVANGO SAFARI CAMP
Situated under dense stands of African Ebony and Strangler Fig Trees in an exclusive wildlife concession, Nxabega Okavango Safari Camp is unique in that it combines the Okavango water wilderness experience with the excitement of viewing the big game normally associated with the land camps.  This magnificent lodge has been beautifully hand crafted and was deliberately designed to ensure that its open plan dining room,  lounge, wildlife reference library, and expansive sundecks all offer unobstructed views over the endless floodplains of the Delta.  Other lodge facilities include a raised gameviewing platform, plunge pool and sundeck.  Nxabega accommodates only 18 safari guests in East African style safari tents pitched on elevated platforms with private sundecks and en-suite facilities.   Guests have a choice of daily activities including meandering along the floodplains and channels of the Delta by mokoro or tracking big game on foot or by open 4x4-safari vehicle in the Mopane Forests and open grasslands.  The added highlight of an evening gamedrive by spotlight assures you of the most complete lodge experience in Botswana

SANDIBE SAFARI LODGE
Sandibe Safari Lodge is located just south of Chief’s Island in one of the most beautiful regions of the Delta, near the ever-flowing Santandabie Channel.  Sandibe’s site was specifically chosen for its extraordinary beauty, its prime location on the permanent Delta and its proximity to the game rich grassy plains.  The lodge is situated under ancient riverine forest in deep shade overlooking a permanent papyrus waterway.  The public areas face into the sunset with three cottages to the north and five cottages to the south.  All the cottages are spaced about 40m apart in order to afford maximum privacy whilst still being within safe walking distance from the public areas.  The predominant theme of Sandibe’s décor is natural, earthy, organic and living.  The eight African inspired cottages have their own private elevated viewing deck, en-suite facilities with twin basins, w.c. and  open air shower.  There is an overhead fan and gauze covered glassless windows.   Sandibe Safari Lodge has exclusive access to some 270 sq kilometers comprising six broad ecotypes and associated bird, plant and animal species.  Activities include daily game drives, bush walks, river cruises, mokoro excursions, bird watching and star gazing. For relaxation there is a hammock, which sways in the trees outside the main living area, and a shaded plunge pool
