Nxamaseri Island Lodge

Nxamaseri Island Lodge

Okavango Panhandle

Set on an island in the panhandle of the Okavango Delta, one of the most breathtakingly beautiful areas in the world, this lodge is one of the oldest in the area. It has been recently refurbished and is meticulously cared for by its staff. With a unique charm and atmosphere, the lodge has 7 double chalets and 2 family chalets all tented with with fans, en-suite bathrooms, room safe and a veranda. All the chalets are thatch covered with tented bedrooms and bathrooms made to a very high standard. Each chalet enjoys a view over the waterways and is unobserved by neighbours. There is a large deck with an open lobby and restaurant area, a bar-fridge and the food is simply delicious and plentiful.

The lodge offers water-based activities, including boating and mokoro trips among the network of beautiful channels that comprise the area. Nxmaseri is one of the few lodges which can guarantee Mokoro trips all-year-round, due to its location high up in the panhandle. These are conducted in the shallow and narrow channels, where the birdlife is in abundance but where the hippos don't go. From the steel bottomed speed boat, you can see hippos in the deeper channels and on shore. Take a boat and go fishing, sit on the shady deck and watch the birdlife passing, enjoy the pool or relax by having a massage overlooking the stunning Okavango panhandle.

Close to the magical Tsodilo Hills, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Botswana’s greatest treasures, see "Our Offers" for an exceptional experience there.

Other activities include helicopter flights/flips (additional cost) over the delta, as well as cultural and natural history tours. Weather permitting, guests may also dine on the floating jetty, enjoying the most spectacular sounds and sights at sunset.

This is a magical and truly "away from it all" lodge, where you will enjoy spectacular bird and wildlife spotting and some of Botswana's most memorable sunrises and sunsets.

Inclusions

​

Our Offers

Book 3 nights and stay at Nxamaseri's sister property, Tsodilo Hills Tented Camp, for an unforgettable experience; transfer both ways by road (1.5 hrs in airconditioned vehicle or, for a supplement, one-way by helicopter for a perfect view of the hills and the panhandle) to Tsodilo Hills, where a specialist guide will take you on either an easy, medium or difficult hike (entirely your preference) to explore the famous rock art, which is said to be anywhere between 30-100,000 years old. Then head for camp and enjoy authentic 'storytelling' by members of the local San people as the sun sets over the hills, followed by a sumptuous bush dinner under the stars and by a roaring campfire. Overnight in elevated and covered tents, with super-comfy beds and with your en-bush facilities (water toilet and sink with sun-warmed bucket shower) and wake up to a steaming pot of coffee or tea on your deck and enjoy a hot breakfast cooked on the embers of the fire from the Boma the night before. We highly rate this excursion to Tsodilo for both its cultural aspects (rock art and encounter with the San people) and the great outdoor and sleepout experience.

How our Tent Ratings work

​

These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.​

​

It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world. 

To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.
