Blending Culture Into Cooking
Sustainably sourced, local and healthy ingredients make up a combination that brings alive our simple yet delectable meals and snacks. Learning about the traditional practices of fishermen & farmers brings the history of the meals to life.
Where Two UNESCO World Heritage Sites Meet
Nxamaseri Island Lodge’s proximity to the UNESCO World Heritage Site Tsodilo Hills, makes it an attractive destination for those seeking something different in the Okavango Delta. The hills rise dramatically from the flat Kalahari landscape, creating a sacred teeming with ancient San Bushman rock art.
Variety Of Activities
Nxamaseri Island Lodge is renowned for its exceptional fly and sport fishing. Guests have the opportunity to explore the mighty Okavango River by boat and glide through the river’s smaller tributaries via traditional mokoro (dugout canoes). Birdwatching, guided by expert guides, is another delightful highlight at the lodge. And if you don’t want to go anywhere, make a memory by joining in on daily traditional basket weaving lessons.
Under A Canopy Of Stars
Gaze upward on our star deck fitted with a state-of-the-art telescope, where constellations weave tales of ancient Gods and celestial wonders, and our passionate staff, steeped in local knowledge, will lead you on immersive adventures right from the moment you step into the lodge.
