The last part of our mobile camping safari brought us to Xigera Tented Camp, deep, DEEP in the Okavango Delta. The camp was the most basic of the ones we visited, but the wildlife, scenery, mokoros, and staff made this our favorite for sure. The punctual pachyderms that feasted on trees outside our dome tent each night more than made up for the evil long drop toilet.
Thanks for taking us along. The camp you stayed at didn’t exist in 2004, so we stayed at the main Xigera Camp. It was our first camp, and we almost didn’t go because it was a water camp. So glad we did … from the scenery, to the animals, to the peaceful quiet of the delta … it was fantastic.
And by the way … those mokoro’s are actually quite well balanced. When we had a close elephant encounter in one of the waterways, we were encouraged to stand-up … I was surprised we didn’t find ourselves in the drink
