Description:

Escape to a remote island in the heart of the Okavango Delta and the savanna plains of Chobe National Park for a safari holiday of your dreams. It’s a safari tour off the beaten path for adventure travellers with a yearning for wild, untouched bushveld paradise.

The camps are rustic and designed for low environmental impact, where the focus is on idyllic days spent exploring one of the most spectacular corners of southern Africa.

Xaxaba Mobile Camp

Xaxaba Mobile Camp is located on a private island between Eagle Island and Chief’s Island in the heart of the Okavango Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Botswana. The mobile camp moves between 3 different locations on the island every few days. It’s operated by a private safari camp from the local Xaxaba community.

Guests stay in canvas safari tents with an ensuite bathroom, bucket shower and eco-bush toilet. This is a rustic camp for adventure travellers where the focus is on incredible scenery, outstanding wildlife and community spirit.

Activities of Xaxaba Mobile Camp include guided walks on Chiefs Island, mokoro excursions in traditional canoes and river boat trips. Fishing is optional; bring your own fishing gear. A visit to the Xaxaba community village is recommended.

Camp Savuti

Savuti Camp is located in pristine wilderness in the heart of Chobe National Park, tucked away in a remote area away from the crowds in peak safari season. It’s a rustic eco-camp situated on the banks of the dry Savuti Channel and close to the famous Savuti Marsh.

Guests stay in Meru-style tented rooms on elevated platforms, with magical views of the Savuti floodplains. The tents are spacious but rustic, and ensuite with an outdoor shower and eco-bush toilet. Evenings are spent at the central lounge and dining area, with starlit dinners at the firepit.

Activities include sunrise and sunset game drives in 4×4 open safari vehicles, bird watching, photography, star gazing and magical boma safari dinners. Fishing is optional, bring you own fishing equipment.
