Discover Xaro Lodge, a 24-bed Luxury Meru Tented Lodge on the tranquil banks of the Okavango River, where Africa is still wild
Nestled amongst giant mangosteen trees and accessible only by boat, the Lodge is home to a myriad of birds. The distinctive cry of the African Fish Eagle, White-Backed Night Heron and the elusive Pel’s Fishing Owl make this tropical paradise a must for bird lovers.
Watch a breathtaking sunset whilst sipping a sundowner and listen to the call of the wild. After a delicious dinner, sit around the campfire reliving your day, listening out for the call of the wild or marvelling at the splendour of the night sky!
