- Day Day 1 - Enter Okavango Delta
We will set off for our safari at 0800hrs with an easy cruise upstream to Chief’s Island, a journey that will be spent viewing game and amazing species of birds while navigating the reed channels of the southern Okavango.
A light lunch of cold meats and salads will be served while on our journey as we leisurely head to Nxaraga lagoon. Our expected time of arrival is 3pm which should give us enough time to rest and stretch our legs. Following your rest and a short familiarization of your camp surroundings, we will set off for a relaxing sunset boat ride which we will enjoy alongside hippos in the middle of Nxaraga lagoon.
We will then head to camp were you will be treated to a relaxing warmed bucket shower and a hearty campfire cooked dinner. Campfire has been pivotal in transfer of knowledge and values from one generation to the other for the first settlers of Botswana, the san people. Thus it is during this time that we will share with you our heritage stories.

- Day Day 2 - Visit Xaxaba
Rise and shine! Your wake up call will be at 5:30am for an early morning walk. This is a highly recommended experience to start your day by connecting with nature as the sun rises.
Once back at camp, you will be treated to breakfast before departing from Nxaraga at around mid morning, for an upstream cruise for a couple of hours of delta game and bird viewing. A light snack lunch will be served along the way. We will take it easy until we get to Xaxaba campsite around mid afternoon in time for a siesta moment of relaxation.
As was the case on our first day, after taking some good rest we will take a walk to familiarize you with the camp surroundings and pick a great spot for sunset viewing. Once back at camp before dark, you will be treated to a warmed bucket shower and a hearty campfire cooked dinner. Your stories will be told around the fire. You will then retreat to your 3.2mx 3.2m tent with a stretcher bed, a private veranda and bathroom with flush-able toilet, shower and sink.

- Day Day 3 - Mokoro Experience
You will be woken up at 6:00am for coffee/tea and head out Xaxaba village around 7am for a special treat; mokoro experience. This brings you up close and personal to arguably Africa’s most pristine game land. At first you may be unsettled about just how close you are to the wild, until you realise that you have just become a part of the environment, this is where you will get into such a relaxed mode and take it all in. Some guests have meditated along the cruise, some have fallen asleep, while some have been perplexed about the entire experience. Your story is yet to be told…
The cruise will come to an end and you will arrive back at around 11am to a brunch. We will then depart at noon upstream past Jugu-jugu island to spend the afternoon on game and bird viewing from the boat. Your Swamp Cruiser boat is equipped with overhead shade so the noon heat should be bearable. You will go through some of the most spectacular areas that the Okavango delta has to offer.

- Day Day 4 - Return Trip
We are not yet done, there is more in store for you. You will be gently woken up at 5:30am to go on an early morning walk after Coffee/tea and rusks. The walk departs just after sunrise to smell the early morning air and once again connect with nature as the day begins.
Upon return, you will be treated to full breakfast before heading back at 10am for a leisurely 7 hour boat trip back to Audi Camp with a light lunch served along the journey. This will be your last chance to tickoff bird viewing from your Xaa Safaris Bird Viewing Checklist.
We will arrive back at Audi Camp at 7pm. It is at this point that you will experience a great deal of fulfillment coupled with feelings of sadness for not only are you bidding goodbye to the delta that you had just become a part of, but also bidding farewell to a family that you have spent 4 days with. This is the true spirit of the delta.

Our 2 days trip with the guide Shadow in the Khwai Community Concession, bordering Moremi, went beyond expectations. He is a very professional and competent guide. He found many animals including Lions, hyenas, hippos... and much more in only 2 days. We had so much fun with him. He knows a great deal of stories and he is very knowledgable about wildife and nature, in addition to being a skilful driver. Absolutely amazing experience!
