Camp Xakanaxa

This is an excellent luxury safari camp with plenty of wildlife.|The luxury tents on adjacent to a river channel are large and very comfortable. We stayed in #1 and were treated to encounters (safe) with Oscar the adopted male hippo of the camp. | The staff are genuinely friendly and work to please - all the way from the camp manager to the kitchen staff. The game drivers were outstanding- knowledgeable and patient. | The food was very good although I would recommend two things:|1) the meat dishes when served as steaks or cutlets should not all be cooked well done, and 2) there should be a green salad at least one meal a day. The liquid refreshments- beer, wine, liquor -|were on demand and offered a variety of excellent choices.| We would return again.

Such a wonderful camp to stay at, food was great, staff were friendly and helpful. The excursions meant we got to see so much, including animals like leopard and wild dog, which I never expected we'd find.||10/10, definitely hoping to stay there again in future.

We arrived to a beautiful welcome from the staff and it was even more special because it was Botswana’s Independence Day- lots of fantastic cultural activities. Our guide DK was absolutely fantastic- very knowledgeable , friendly and had a great sense of humour. We were fortunate as we had a great group in our safari vehicle and we had a super time. We saw leopards, elephants,giraffes, zebras,hippo's, birds and a rare sighting of wild dogs. All the staff were absolutely amazing- nothing was too much trouble. Food was delicious and drinks plentiful. Would highly recommend a stay at this safari camp. All the best to the camp staff .Mary & Pip

The trip was fantastic from the welcome from our guide to the fairwell song. The rooms were characterful but also clean and comfortable with all amenities. The food was varied and delicious and the all the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. We saw some amazing animals and birds at close quarters and learnt alot from our knowledge guide. My only regret was only booking for 2 nights.

This was the first camp on our first safari. We could not have made a better choice. We received excellent care from the staff who couldn’t do enough for us. Our guide, Baams, spoke good English and was a true animal and bird enthusiast who showed us everything. The game drives and river trips showed us all that we could hope to see. The room was comfortable and well-equipped, and all the facilities are well designed. We were serenaded into dinner by the staff and made to feel really welcome. The food was plentiful and delicious. We’ll be back.

This was by far the best place we stayed on our couples Safari trip. Before we even arrived at the lodge we were taken to find 2 cheetahs that were in the area. We were welcomed with traditional dance/song and then taken to our tents which were so spacious and very clean. The food was superb and all made by the chef who came and introduced herself. Sitting at night around the fire pit was a perfect end to the day. |Each drive was very different and we saw a wide variety of animals, including a male lion eating his buffalo breakfast and the cheetahs stalking a dazzle of zebras!|A definite 5* experience.

We stayed at five camps during our three week stay in Central Africa. Camp Xakanaxa was by far our favorite. A big reason why we loved it so much was due to the efforts of our guide, GB. This guy is dedicated to assuring that everyone had a great experience while in Moremi Game Reserve. GB got us to view so much wildlife and put us in a place to get great photos. He was very patient with our many questions about the wildlife, plants, birds and culture in Botswana. We were thrilled to see lions, cheetahs, leopards, hippos, wildebeest, Cape buffalo and even a pack of African wild dogs. We came away from Camp Xakanaxa with great memories and experiences like we saw with Marlin Perkins and Jim Fowler on Mutual of Omaha s Wild Kingdom when we were kids.

What a wonderful lodge! There are no words. The staff were all wonderful, Monee, Maths, Gee, Alexander the chef, Tally, Solani, just to name a few. |As for our guide Bunno he was just incredible. We were told to request him by guests at our previous lodge. He was even better than we were expecting. His knowledge of the bush and the game was phenomenal. The sightings we saw were really in another league. He put everything into our drives to try and get us the best experience possible. And he sure did! We definitely recommend him! |The lodge itself is brilliant. Perfect location and beautifully appointed. |The lovely cleaner did a great job and washed all our clothing within hours. |We can’t say enough thank you’s!! |We hope very much to be back sooner rather than later. |Thank you all!
