Xaranna Okavango Delta Camp, Botswana

Xaranna Okavango Delta Camp, Botswana


The Okavanago Delta offers one of the very best safari destinations on the planet. This oasis of rivers and lagoons in the middle of the Kalahari Desert is filled with an abundance of wildlife. Here, you’ll have the chance to see a vast array of birds, lion, cheetah, leopard, hippo, elephant, buffalo, mongoose and more. Guests stay in deluxe private tents – just nine are on the property – each featuring an oversized indoor tub, outdoor shower and private plunge pool. In addition to game drives in four-wheel drive vehicles, excursions by dugout canoes and electric 

“eco-boats” are available. All meals are included, as well as champagne, fine wine, beer and cocktails.In 1947, Australian aviation pioneer, Reginald Ansett acquired the island. Work began on the Royal Hayman Hotel, which opened in 1950 by Australian Deputy Prime Minister, Sir Arthur Fadden in anticipation of a royal visit to Australia, for which Hayman was granted a Royal Charter.

Hayman soon earned the reputation as Australia’s foremost leisure and honeymoon destination[citation needed] and attracted widespread international recognition.[citation needed] Arrival on Hayman was by Catalina and Sandringham flying boat. These days, guests to the island arrive by Hayman's private fleet of luxury motor yachts, and private charter helicopter or Air Whitsunday seaplane.

By July 1985, a two-year, A$300 million project commenced to transform the island into a "true luxury lifestyle destination" and in 1987 Hayman was invited to join The Leading Hotels of the World. The resort undertook another significant renovation in 2001 and received many of its modern five-star luxury amenities.Edwin Embury, a schoolteacher, dreamer, and amateur scientist established a biological research laboratory on the island in 1933. The abundant wildlife and proximity to the Great Barrier Reef made Hayman an ideal base for scientific discovery.Its is very good its has good rooms and also wifi facilities
