andBeyond Nxabega Okavango Tented Camp

Raised on wooden platforms beneath African ebony trees, nine tented suites open onto private verandas where you can hear the reeded floodplain at dawn. The camp sits in a 25,000-hectare wildlife concession that borders Moremi Game Reserve in the Okavango Delta. Each tent spans polished teak floors, with a front-facing bed angled toward the seasonally flooded grasslands and lagoons beyond. A dressing area stands between the bedroom and ensuite bathroom. Bathrooms hold both an indoor shower and a screened outdoor rainshower, with a flush toilet enclosed by canvas panels. One family tent links two suites via an interleading walkway. Air-conditioning, overhead fans, mini-bar, safe, and wireless internet are standard.

The central guest area rises beneath a steep pitched thatch roof and teak frame. Indoor and outdoor dining spaces surround a food and coffee bar staffed by trained baristas. A pool deck overlooks the Delta, with loungers beneath shaded salas and a massage sala set apart for treatments. An open-air boma sits under the ebony canopy for dinners beneath the stars. Morning and afternoon game drives extend after dark to track leopard and serval across the private concession. Seasonal mokoro excursions pole through papyrus-fringed channels and shallow lagoons; motorised boat trips cover wider stretches of water when levels allow. Guided walking safaris track animal signs on foot. Catch-and-release fishing runs in the Panhandle region for tigerfish. Helicopter flights lift above the maze of waterways. Over 400 bird species have been recorded in the area, including Pel's fishing owl after nightfall.
