Xaro Lodge

"Everything! Incredible location, amazing staff, really tasty food, a fantastic guide in Fly and a superb room. We were the only guests staying and we could not have been looked after better! Each evening they set up a table for us with the best views of the Okavango Delta sunset. We were genuinely sad to leave. Xaro Lodge is so perfect that it made the other accommodation we stayed at in Southern Africa seem rather ordinary."

"Nothing except that we couldn’t stay longer!"

"The lodge is located directly on the Okavango River. The staff was exceptionally friendly, and the food and chef were excellent. Our suite was very spacious, very clean, and accessible via a long jetty. Our guide, Fly, was particularly knowledgeable about the diverse bird and animal life. We enjoyed romantic dinners in nature with a view over the river."

"Aucun."

"Absolutely everything. Scott and Casey were very caring hosts, the staff super friendly and efficient, exceptional meals. Tha chalets positioned overlooking the river. The morning walk with Thomas the guide was fascinating, excellent birder. Saw 3 Pells fishing owls. Met all expectations of what a lodge on the Okavango should be."

"Having to leave."

"Idyllic lodge at the Okavango river, superb location, great variety of birds to watch including the Pels fishing owl! We had a fantastic relaxing stay at Xaro and enjoyed the river cruises with our guide enormously. Thank you so much for this unforgettable stay!"

"Nothing"

"One of the best places I have ever stayed, and that’s about location but especially the staff. All highly competent and very friendly But wow- what a location Stunning place"

"That we had to leave"

"It’s on the water at a really beautiful location. The staff were all lovely and helpful and the food was amazing! A really special place."

"There is nothing to not like about this place"

"One of the best surprise of our entire trip. Everything was perfect: location, lodging (tents), staff, game drive. Atruly unique experience."

"Same as every single lodge on our trip, why have a swimming pool if it is not heated? A few solar panels and a small heat pump would do the trick."

"Bird lovers paradise! Great hospitality within an amazing landscape. Excellent food and service."

"We had to leave after two nights :( The place might not be the best destination for someone who does not enjoy birding."
