Camp Xakanaxa — Hotel in North-West District

Xakanaxa’s professional service team warmly welcomed us with singing, and from then on, we experienced some of the best safari viewings in the Okavango Delta.||||Our knowledgeable and experienced tracker and guide, GB, made sure we got right up close to leopards, giraffes, zebras, hippos, impalas, kudus, jackals, warthogs, mongooses, elephants, ostriches, wildebeests, lions, monkeys, crocodiles and a myriad of wild birds. Every moment was a pure feast for the eyes.||||The home-style cooking was delicious, and the hospitable and attentive staff set up beautiful garden decorations for our evening meals under the stars and the moon, accompanied by their talented a cappella singing. ||||Game drives were twice per day. After the morning wake-up call at 6:30, a buffet breakfast was served (I recommend the local hearty porridge), and then the morning game drive started at 7:00. We returned to camp for lunch and rest until 15:00 when afternoon tea was served. The second game drive started at 15:30, and we returned back to camp for sunset. 
As Camp Xakanaxa is located in the Moremi Game Reserve, all safari tours need to be back by around 18:30, so no night drives.||||The large, comfortable tents had a separate bathroom with two sinks, a shower and a toilet in the back. Amenities such as shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner were all provided. It can get very cold at night, so use the extra blankets. Filtered water is provided in a huge Stanley thermos, and a jar of biscuits is in the tents for late-night nibbles.||||I can confirm that Ocar, the resident hippo, truly exists and made his appearance after dinner one night, walking through the gardens in front of...

We spent 2 nights at Camp Okuti rounding out 8 days of safari action in Botswana. We were picked up at the airstrip by our guide Onny. We had seen a lot during our first 6 nights but Onny was able to find us new things that nature had to offer. Lions, Leopard, Elephants, Giraffes, Hippos, Buffalo,...On our final morning we had the option to sleep in or get one more game drive in prior to our flight. We choose game drive and Onny found us a pride of lions hunting buffalo. As the lions hunted, a group of warthogs walked right into the mix. A warthog became an easy snack...The scene was horrific and amazing at the same time. This completed the circle of life the we had come to Africa to witness. Thank you to Onny for such great service!!! 4 game drives and motorized boat cruise were all awesome! The only minus was that afternoon games drives had to be cut short as visitors staying within the Moremi Game Reserve have to be back in camp by 6:30pm. If you are looking for evening excursions, they are not allowed.||At camp the bar was stock and self service. Note...you may order hot breakfast each morning... we did not know this the first morning until it was too late. Rooms were nice, looking out at the river and this camp was the first that offered wifi in the room. ||Thank you for providing memories that will last...

We stayed in camp Okuti in Moremi park for two nights. |This was the last camp after spending 12 nights in Namibia and Botswana. We were really keen on seeing a leopard and more of lions activity. |On our 1st outing we saw a make lion guarding his food while the vultures and the jackets were circling. We were 3 meters away from the lion. Then in the afternoon we spotted a leopard and we basically spent 2 hours with her ( a female) we were lucky enough to take photos from all directions. While she was on the tree or laying down in the shade. |Our final day, we thought we will see much of the same. What a surprise it was, that our guide Oni all of a sudden said, I can’t believe my eyes. He spotted 4 cheetahs hunting together. Boy, was it a thrill. And after spending time with the cheetahs, we saw 9 lions together also trying to hunt the waterbucks. What a marvelous end to our game drives. The food in camp was fantastic. Everybody was friendly and helpful. When we arrived, they sang and danced for us. Food was served on one big table mixing the guides and the guest. It was a very nice way to get to know each other. |The only minor note I could say is that our room felt like it need an uplifting with maintenance. |I think the location of the camp is fantastic. |I would definitely recommend this...
