Set on a small secluded wooded island in the Okavango Panhandle, Nxamaseri Island Lodge is a prime destination for seeing hippo, crocodile, and the elusive sitatunga, a semi-aquatic antelope. The birdlife is first class (350 recorded species!) and includes Pel's fishing owl. From the lounge and dining area, wooden decks lead to spacious brick and thatch chalets featuring twin or double beds with crisp white linens and comfy duvets. Each has en suite facilities and a private deck overlooking the Nxamaseri Channel.
