Experience the freedom and exhilaration of the Okavango Delta at Xudum Okavango Delta Lodge, with its unique rooftop hideouts in each of nine private African safari suites. An intimate refuge, Xudum Okavango Delta Lodge is designed with privacy in mind. Sprawled along the banks of a cyclical lagoon and guarded by a resident family of hippo after the rainy season, the lodge flawlessly combines the best of this unique Botswana safari destination.
Overlooking a seasonal lagoon, the earthy glamour of this striking lodge provides the perfect counterpoint to the natural bounty of this game-rich landscape. A strong but playful recycled theme provides unusual accents at every turn. Innovative design details featuring the artful recycling of everyday objects have been used throughout and all timber work is rough-hewn and chunky. The overall atmosphere is one of earthy glamour. Botswana basketware appears throughout the lodge and playful accents celebrate Delta icons.
Explore the intricate watery canals, replenished by cyclical rainfalls, by mokoro or traverse the golden grasslands in search of the Big Five by vehicle, retreating to the contemporary comfort of your suite by night. After a successful Botswana safari, cuddle up in the large outdoor cane lounger and watch the sun go down over the Delta.
Game drives, bush walks, scenic helicopter flights and horseback safaris allow you to explore this beautiful area from different perspectives. Exceptional wildlife, including elephant, large buffalo herds, tsessebe, hippo, lion, leopard, African wild dog and roan antelope call this area of the Delta home. This area of the Delta is also remarkable for bird-watching with 450 bird species, including Pel’s Fishing Owl and a vast number of migrant birds in summer.

For us the best part was our time in Botswana. It was absolutely amazing. The isolation and the discoveries combined were magic. It was constant enthralment and wonder. Xudum has the best facilities. The rooms are an absolutely treat and to come in one night and find a very hot bath drawn and waiting is great. It is all about the little touches. We were pampered without recognising it at the time. That makes it special.
