Exciting Camp News

Nxamaseri Island Lodge Reopens!

Desert & Delta Safaris beloved Nxamaseri Island Lodge reopened this week, so we want to share key information and USP’s for the amazing new lodge experience.

Air Access


In an effort to ensure consistency and seamless connectivity for your guests staying at Nxamaseri Island Lodge, all flights will be arriving and departing from Shakawe airstrip. Transfers from/to Shakawe airstrip are approximately 1 hour and are done on a complimentary basis, in an enclosed vehicle and our safari boats (water level dependent).

Nxamaseri Spa


The brand new over the water spa perfectly encapsulates the lodge's new focus on blending wellness and relaxation into the charming safari routine. All guests will receive a complimentary treatment with a host of optional treatments available on request.



Blending Culture Into Cooking 


Sustainably sourced, local and healthy ingredients make up a combination that brings alive our simple yet delectable meals and snacks. Learning about traditional practices of fishermen & farmers brings the history of the meals to life.


Under a Canopy Of Stars


Gaze upward on our star deck fitted with a state-of-the-art telescope, where constellations weave tales of ancient Gods and celestial wonders, and our passionate staff, steeped in local knowledge, will lead you on immersive adventures right from the moment you step into the lodge.

Variety Of Activities


Nxamaseri Island Lodge is renowned for its exceptional fly and sport fishing. Guests have the opportunity to explore the mighty Okavango River by boat and glide through the river’s smaller tributaries via traditional mokoro (dugout canoes). Birdwatching, guided by expert guides, is another delightful highlight at the lodge. And if you don't want to go anywhere, make a memory by joining in on daily traditional basket weaving lessons.

Where Two UNESCO World Heritage Sites Meet


Nxamaseri Island Lodge’s proximity to the UNESCO World Heritage Site Tsodilo Hills, makes it an attractive destination for those seeking something different in the Okavango Delta. The hills rise dramatically from the flat Kalahari landscape, creating a sacred experience teeming with ancient San Bushman rock art.


New specialist guiding program

Booking a specialist guide enables travelers to leverage their host’s specialised knowledge and experience. Having a single guide accompany them throughout their Desert & Delta Safaris itinerary enables them to develop a deeper connection with the guide and their skillset and creates lifelong friendships.

WHY BOOK A SPECIALIST GUIDE?

SPECIAL INTEREST TRAVELERS

We will match the right specialist guide with the right travelers: from birdwatchers to professional/amateur photographers, stargazers to entomologists. We have guides best suited to all ranges of special interests.


VIPS OR CELEBRITIES

For guests seeking additional on-the-ground assistance, including professional hosting with discretion and privacy as needed, specialist guiding offers an elevated level of enjoyment and exclusivity to their trip.

FAMILIES

Including a specialist guide throughout the itinerary is a perfect way to ensure families have the safari of a lifetime. This will allow the kids and the knowledgeable specialist guide to form a special bond.
