History
&Beyond Nxabega Okavango Tented Camp sits on a private island within an exclusive 25,000-hectare (about 61,775-acre) wildlife concession on the edge of Botswana's Okavango Delta, bordering the Moremi Game Reserve. Nine canvas tented suites, including a family unit, are raised on wooden platforms beneath a canopy of ebony and leadwood trees on the banks of a channel running off the Boro River.
The camp is operated by &Beyond (founded 1991, formerly CC Africa), a leading luxury safari and conservation company. Nxabega was completely rebuilt over the course of 2016 and early 2017, giving the camp a fresh contemporary look while retaining its classic light-footprint safari style.
