Thrilling experience in the Okavango Delta and Moremi
Xaa Safaris provides a good services for people who cannot afford luxury safaris. Keni, the local guide in the Okavango Delta, is local person who knows how to take advantage of what the Okavango Delta can offer. He is a bush man who is very well equipped with knowledge and ability to show you the best of the Delta. Smart and friendly knows where one can spot wildlife such as elephants, zebras, kunus, lions...However, Xaa Safaris has to improve training to its chefs to better cook meals and to the general guide to be more sensitive to visitors´ needs and interests. I recommend Xaa Safaris for those who are willing to walk and chase wild beasts and to really get to what Okavango and Moremi are about: nature in its pure manifestation!

Fantastic Trip
We booked from the UK and chose Xaa as it was flexible, friendly and good value for money.
From the minute we were picked up in Maun we had an amazing time, a great team of people who were a combination of guides, trainees and local community villagers accompanied us into the delta. Great knowledge and fun company. All our camping equipment was brand new and extremely smart, we were treated like royalty! Well fed and watered too! The group even did an impromptu entertainment show of traditional singing which was fab! It was so nice to spend time with local people in the beautiful delta, surrounded by elephant, hippo, and wildebeest! Would certainly recommend and can’t wait to return!

Friendly client orientated bush experience
Xaa went out of their way to accommodate us without compromising the experience of their other guests.
It was the most amazing sunset cruise from Maun on the Thamalakane river passing some local fishing Mokoros, African Fish eagles and stopping to observe a crocodile and being fed a ton of information from the guide.
We shall use them next time for a 3 day customised excursion into the Delta with all camp sites and accommodation arranged by Xaa.
Thank you Xaa for an unforgetable experience.

A great safari company for an off-the-grid experience
For me and my three fellow travellers, all in our senior years, I want to find a safari company that could give us a personal, in-depth experience of the Okavango Delta for a reasonable price. Xaa Safaris did just that! Our driver/guide picked us up in Maun with a well-equipped, open-air safari vehicle and we were off for an African adventure.
We chose the 5-day mobile tent tour with two nights in the Moremi Reserve and two nights at a site only accessible by mokoro canoes on the Boro River. This gave us excellent opportunities to photograph all the amazing animals to found there; to walk with a guide on the open savannah; to glide through the delta in a dug-out-style canoe; to sit by a campfire listening to the distant roars of lions; to have breakfast while elephants wandered past or camp. Unforgettable!
The tents were sturdy with cots, carpets, toilets and showers. The food was plentiful and delicious (thank you O.B.) The camp crew took care of every request (like recharging camera batteries) and our guide, Broken, couldn't have been more delightful with his knowledge of nature, sense of humor and excellent driving skills.
Looking back now, I can say that we did well by choosing Xaa Safaris. They kept us safe, secure and well-fed in an unforgiving environment, allowing us to relax and enjoy the uniqueness of the Okavango Delta.

Friendly and knowledgeable.
An excellent tour with an excellent guide. One of the best we’ve done during a month of touring in Africa.

Excellent Xaa Safari Experience.
I embarked on a five-day journey, they picked me up from Kasene and proceeding to Savuti, where I explored rock paintings and encountered abundant birdlife and wildlife. The food, tents, and vehicles were all superb, and our ranger was an excellent storyteller. This guy receptor had a knack for humor in storytelling.

We exceeding all our expectations! We saw many aspects of Botswana’s amazing flora and fauna .
My wife and I travelled as a private tour on a 6 day tour in Okavango Delta ,starting at Maun, through Khwai Concession, Mababe Gate and Savuti National Park, the safari itself was absolutely amazing –
Xaa Safaris provided fabulous service from start to finish. After explaining what I was looking for in a safari trip, and my approximate budget, I receivedcorresponding quotation quickly. In additional, due to issues with airlines (Air Botswana temporarily canceled our flight without warning), we had to communicate with Xaa Safaris and modify the itinerary repeatedly. The owner, Mrs Nobantu, was very patient and efficient in helping us solve everything. We got a private vehicle for 6 days, Our tour guides & driver Range were patient, knowledgeable and planned each safari carefully. Range is the best safari guide we could have imagined – he has a huge knowledge on so many aspects of the safari animals and nature, and his great experience and patience in searching also for the rare animals made us see essentially almost of them!!!
We were fortunate to have spectacular views of the delta for a couple of days. Savuti National Park was magical in its own way with animals wandering past mornings and evenings elephants enjoying their happiness and tranquility by the pond. Kenny and his support team also made a lot effort, They provided us with clean and hygienic food and beverage. While we left camp and started tracking animals, they’d begun to disassemble the tents and equipment, then transported to the new campsite. When we got back to the new camping site at night, everything had been rearranged already... The tents the portable toilet, up to the bucket showers – were nice and convenient.
Our animal sightings also included many elephants, lions , cheetahs, wild dogs, impalas, hippopotamus, zebra, giraffe, wildebeest crocodiles to name a few and many different birds,, and even we saw a hyena in the evening of the last day. We exceeding all our expectations! We saw many aspects of Botswana’s amazing flora and fauna and experienced it.
Communication with Xaa Safaris was extremely friendly and efficient, without complications.

Excellent service, excellent experience
Everything was excellent: organization of the tour, description, value for money, personnel (guide, main organiser, local organiser in Maun, cook, assistants during tour). The tour itself was wonderful, we saw plenty of animals, we were excellently treated, and everything exceeded our expectations.

Very welcoming and perfectly organised!
We had a great time in the Okavango Delta with help of Xaa Safaris and the local community. All was very well arranged and it was indeed the great 'bush/water experience' we were hoping for. Definitely could recommend Xaa. Great communications and value for money!
