Xaranna Camp

Top choice in Okavango Delta


Xaranna is a worthy member of the elite group of camps run by &Beyond, which mixes daringly designed luxury accommodation with serious conservation work. Xaranna's large rooms have expansive terraces, private pools and as little to separate you from the delta surrounds as is possible. The food is excellent and the service first-rate.

You're on your own island here, and helicopter flights are possible, as are wildlife drives on which big cats are a real possibility.
