Fly by light aircraft from Maun (MUB) to the Sandibe/Chitabe airstrip, followed by a short game-drive transfer to camp (crossing a log bridge).
Three spacious canvas tents on raised wooden platforms with a terrace and armchairs, well spaced for privacy and blended into the bush, each with a super king bed, an en-suite bathroom with double showers and vanities above a wooden deck, hot running water and flushing toilets, standing fans, insect-proof netting, in-room power packs and USB ports, and, a first for the Botswana Under Canvas camps, Starlink Wi-Fi.
Social, grounded dining shaped by andBeyond's Botswana chef Murray Weakley, freshly prepared meals cooked over an open fire and shared under the stars or in the boma, with picnic lunch baskets delivered to your tent or out in the bush, all meals and drinks (soft drinks, house wines, local spirits and beers) included.
Neutral safari layers with a warm jacket, beanie and gloves for cold winter dawn drives (June–August), lighter clothing for the hot October build-up, closed shoes for walking safaris, a sun hat, sunscreen and binoculars, insect repellent and antimalarials, a headtorch, plenty of camera gear (this is superb predator country), and a soft bag (~20 kg) for the light aircraft.
This is a dry-land, drives-and-walks camp, so come for the predators, lion, leopard, cheetah and wild dog are common here year-round, rather than water safaris (its sister camp Nxabega Under Canvas is the one for mokoro and fishing). Being tiny at three tents, it's superb for an exclusive-use family or friends' buyout, and the expedition style keeps it authentic and close-range without going fully back to basics (there's even Starlink Wi-Fi).
Designed for minimal impact, the camp runs on a solar plant with in-room power packs and vehicle charging, and shares logistics with neighbouring andBeyond lodges to reduce its footprint in the UNESCO-listed Delta. True to andBeyond's "Care of the Land, Wildlife and People" ethos, it partners through Wild Impact with the nearby communities of Shorobe, Sexaxa, Gogomoga and Tsutsubega, supporting employment, mentorship and conservation awareness.
