A few miles outside of Shakawe, in north-western Botswana, on the tranquil banks of the Okavango River, you will discover Xaro Lodge, a 24-bed Luxury Meru-Tented Lodge. Nestling amongst giant Mangosteen trees and accessible only by boat, the lodge is home to a myriad of birds. The distinctive cry of the African Fish Eagle, White Backed Night Heron, and the illusive Pel’s Fishing Owl make this tropical paradise a must for bird lovers. This area is a great way to experience the cultural side of Botswana, most notably the Tsodilo Hills, also known as the “Mountain of Gods”. Steeped in cultural offerings and experience Tsodilo brings you closer to the history of Botswana from thousands of years ago.
