The newest addition to the andBeyond portfolio, opened in March 2026, Nxabega Under Canvas ("place of the giraffe") is a classic, stylish tented camp in the Pom Pom private concession of the western Okavango Delta, deliberately trading high-end luxury for a deeper connection with nature, inspired by the elegance of the 1920s mobile safari, it keeps things simple but refined, just three spacious, insect-proof tents with solar lighting, plug points, standing fans and en-suite bathrooms with double showers, twin vanities and hot running water, its intimacy and edited size make it ideal for small groups or an exclusive-use buyout, and days unfold on both land and water safaris (water levels permitting), game drives, bush walks, mokoro and boat excursions, in a game-rich, giraffe-named corner of the Delta.

Our Favorite Rooms

Three spacious, insect-proof canvas tents in classic mobile-safari style, understated but comfortable, with solar-powered lighting, convenient plug points, a standing fan, and an en-suite bathroom featuring double showers, twin vanities, hot running water and a flush toilet.

Dining

Relaxed, classic safari dining in keeping with the camp's simple, stylish character, all meals plus soft drinks, house wines, local spirits and beers included, taken communally in the mess tent or out in the bush, an intimate, sociable feel given the camp's size.

Packing Tips

Neutral safari layers with a warm jacket, beanie and gloves for cold winter dawn drives and mokoro outings (June–August), lighter clothing for the hot October build-up, closed shoes for bush walks, a sun hat, sunscreen and binoculars, insect repellent and antimalarials, swimwear, a headtorch, camera gear, and a soft bag (~20 kg) for the light aircraft.

Insider Tips

This is andBeyond's "connection over luxury" camp, so come for authentic, classic safari simplicity rather than five-star polish (pair it with a plusher andBeyond Delta lodge like Sandibe if you want contrast). Being tiny, at three tents, it's superb for an exclusive-use family or friends' buyout, and the Pom Pom concession offers genuine water-and-land variety, so time a visit for the flood (roughly May–September) to make the most of mokoro and boat safaris.

Conservation Efforts

A light-footprint, classic-canvas camp running on solar power in the private Pom Pom concession of the UNESCO-listed Okavango Delta, Nxabega Under Canvas reflects andBeyond's "Care of the Land, Wildlife and People" ethos, with the wider group channelling conservation and community work through Africa Foundation / Wild Impact across its Delta footprint.
