General Facilities

The main lodge is made from local timber, reed and thatch and is positioned to overlook the Khwai River and Xakanaxa Lagoon. The area is made up of various comfortable lounge areas, a help-yourself bar and an elegant, open-sided dining area with an enormous communal dining table where guests assemble for meals.

These living areas spill onto an expansive wooden deck with idyllic views of the river. Private plunge pools and sun decks overlook the teeming Delta waterways, while a larger swimming pool brings the camp together for opportunities to spend lazy days in the sun. After dinner lounge around the campfire and watch myriad twinkling stars in the clear African night sky.

A safari shop stocks unique presents and holiday essentials.

Dining

The kitchen is renowned for its creative safari fare served with a Pan-African touch, all accompanied by South African wines. A light pre-drive breakfast consists of fruit, cereals and yoghurts while brunch on return is more substantial, with salads, pastas, cheese and other dishes on offer. After your siesta and before heading out again, nibble on sweets and savouries at high tea. Dinner is a 3-course affair, with the main course being a buffet.

Guests usually eat together at a long table in the main dining room but Camp Xakanaxa also caters individually for those wishing to dine in private. Be sure to ask for Lettie’s homemade melon jam for your toast!
