Xakanaxa has a charming layout right on the water and is a comfortable, sweet little place. This area enjoys very good concentrations of wildlife. However it also has a number of neighbors so it is not an exclusive or private game experience. This helps with the price tag. So for those without an unlimited budget, Xakanaxa should be a consideration.

Each tent, shaded by the Kigelia trees, is tastefully furnished with comfortable beds and en-suite facilities. The stylish main buildings extend into the Khwai River and are set on raised platforms to maximize the views over the surrounding lagoons and islands. Constructed of local timber, reed and thatch the main area is comprised of an elegant lounge containing a comprehensive library, dining room, expansive sundeck, plunge pool, sala with day bed and a fire-deck set under giant Jackalberry trees. The kitchen is renowned for its traditional safari fare served with a Pan-African touch, all accompanied by excellent South African wines.
