Bleached timber frames and canvas walls rise above a seasonal lagoon in the heart of the Okavango Delta. andBeyond Xaranna Okavango Delta Camp occupies its own island within a 90,500-hectare wildlife concession. Nine tented suites combine canvas with timber, decorated in shades of olive green and soft pink inspired by the Delta's water lilies. Each suite is air-conditioned and includes a private plunge pool, an outdoor sala, an indoor bathtub, and an al fresco shower. Views extend across channels to distant tree lines.

The main guest areas occupy elevated positions to capture sweeping sightlines over the water. A reading section adjoins the sitting area. The dining terrace opens onto a boma where evening meals take place under open sky. A safari shop stocks outdoor gear, art, and jewellery. Game drives with a dedicated ranger and tracker depart morning and afternoon; the latter continue after dark to track leopard and serval. Guided walking safaris move on foot through the concession. Water activities depend on seasonal levels: mokoro dugout canoes glide silently through reed-lined channels, and motorised boats cover wider ground across the floodplain. Helicopter flights cross inaccessible reaches of the Delta. Fishing on a catch-and-release basis targets tigerfish and tilapia. In-room massage treatments draw on indigenous oils and African shea butter. Wireless internet, laundry, and mini-bar service are complimentary. Eighty per cent of the camp's energy comes from a solar photovoltaic system paired with a Tesla battery storage unit.
