Nxamaseri Island Lodge 

An extraordinary escape

A secluded lodge perched on a private island surrounded by the winding waterways of the Okavango Panhandle

A unique experience awaits at the Nxamaseri Island Lodge. Set on its very own island amid the beauty of the Okavango Panhandle (the main waterway that feeds the delta), a stay at this exclusive 8-chalet lodge is the perfect way to compliment a traditional game-viewing safari. Although there is plenty of wildlife, here you’ll find it’s more about enjoying the slower pace of life, exploring the waterways and soaking up the local indigenous culture. Nestled within the greenery, you’ll find a tranquil spa and swimming pool too. Activity-wise, spend your days gliding through the waters on a mokoro or watching kingfishers and herons take over the skies. And when the night falls, warm up around the campfire or head to your private cosy cabin.
