As
the custodians of one of Botswana’s very first safari camps the
owners of Xakanaxa Camp (pronounced Ka-ka-na-ka) have gone to
extraordinary
lengths to preserve its original African bush camp
character whilst
providing guests with every comfort.
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. 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. 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.

Daily camp activities follow a rhythmic pattern in harmony with
that of the nature that surrounds us – generally we enjoy a light
breakfast of coffee, tea, fruit juices, cereals, muffins and fresh
fruit just before dawn and then set of on extensive safari drives,
boat or mokoro outings. |
