Nxamaseri Island Lodge - Okavango Delta Accommodation - Okavango Delta National Park - Okavango Delta Lodges

Nxamaseri is a 12 bedded brick and thatch water camp situated on a heavily wooded island in the Panhandle region of the Okavango Delta. Wooden boardwalks lead out from the main dining / bar / sitting room complex to six individual chalet units, with en-suite shower and flush toilet facilities. Each chalet has its own private deck overlooking the water and surrounding floodplains. Access to the boats and mekoros is from a wooden jetty out front.

Nxamaseri is one of Southern Africa's premier fly-fishing and birding destinations. Because it is situated amongst permanent water, the lodge is not a game destination. Hippo is seen regularly and the largest crocodiles found in the Okavango are to be seen in the Panhandle. There is also always the chance of spotting the rare and elusive sitatunga antelope. Fishing with either lure or fly is for tigerfish, pike, catfish and a number of bream species.

The region offers excellent birding, particularly for the water bird species. The specials include Pels Fishing Owl, African Skimmer, white-backed night heron, slaty egret and wattled crane.

Activities: All fishing is done from motorised boats in the main channels and lagoons. Birding is also done from motorised boats as well as from mekoro's and on island walks.

Nxamaseri is also the closest lodge to Tsodilo Hills, which boasts a rich collection of over 3000 San rock paintings. Being in a community area, there is also the opportunity to spend time in rural villages and to witness the local folk going about their traditional lifestyles.
