Inside the park
Safari company
The classic old safari camp of the reserve, on the Xakanaxa lagoon system since the 1970s and one of very few places anywhere in Moremi offering both game drives and boat safaris year-round. If you want the traditional tented atmosphere rather than contemporary lodge design, this is the pick of the Xakanaxa cluster.

What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Moremi Game Reserve charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entryP270 for non-residents, roughly $20.
- $20per person, per day
- VehicleP75 a day for a foreign-registered vehicle, roughly $6.
- $6per vehicle, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $138 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.

What the rate covers is not confirmed. We do not know yet whether meals, drinks and activities are included, so read this as the bed only.

Questions about Camp Xakanaxa
Is Camp Xakanaxa good for families?
Yes, up to a point. Camp Xakanaxa accepts children from six years old and has one family tent with two interleading bedrooms, confirmed on the operator's own page. There is no option for babies or toddlers, so travellers with very young children should look elsewhere.
Can you do boat safaris from Camp Xakanaxa?
Yes. The operator's own page confirms both guided game drives in 4x4s and motorised boat safaris on hard-bottom aluminium boats, describing Camp Xakanaxa as a year-round land and water safari base. Few camps in the reserve genuinely offer both activities across every season.
How much does Camp Xakanaxa cost?
Desert and Delta publishes no rates of its own for Camp Xakanaxa; third-party calendars put it at roughly $690 in low season rising to about $1,290 in high season. Confirm the current figure directly with the operator at reservations@desertdelta.com before booking.
Does Camp Xakanaxa have wifi?
No. The operator's own page says there is no wifi at this camp, though a guest laptop with a basic internet connection may be available. Power runs on generator during the day and evening and switches to 12V lighting overnight, so charge devices before dark.
