Fodor's Expert Review &Beyond Xaranna Okavango Delta Camp
Okavango Delta, North West, Botswana
Inspired by the colors of the myriad waterlilies which fill the surrounding waterways in high flood, Xaranna's bright palette has mellowed with age, its pointed canvas roofs and rose, sage, and white decor blending into and complementing the natural beauty of its surroundings. The camp, which offers game drives, walks, and seasonal water activities, is in a permanent channel of the Okavango, so although there is wildlife here, it can be harder to access when the water is high from April to October. Make the most of the water wilderness experience—the beauty of the wide lagoons, the arching papyrus, snorting hippos, and glorious sunsets. Tents are spacious with a living room, bedroom, dressing room, and bathroom with both indoor and outdoor showers. During the day, cool off in your personal plunge pool or lounge in your sala (covered deck), gazing out at a sweeping lily-studded horizon as water birds crisscross the sky.
