andBeyond Xudum Okavango Delta Lodge

andBeyond Xudum Delta Lodge was a very nice 5-star lodge in the western Okavango Delta in a very diverse area. Unfortunately, this lodge burned down after a lightning strike and will not be rebuilt for the time being. As alternatives, andBeyond Nxabega Okavango Tented Camp and andBeyond Xaranna Okavango Delta Camp from the same operator are the first choice.

Why we Love andBeyond Xudum Okavango Delta Lodge

andBeyond Xudum Delta Lodge was a very nice 5-star lodge in the western Okavango Delta in a very diverse area. Unfortunately, this lodge burned down after a lightning strike and will not be rebuilt for the time being. As alternatives, andBeyond Nxabega Okavango Tented Camp and andBeyond Xaranna Okavango Delta Camp from the same operator are the first choice.

The beautiful Xudum Okavango Delta camp in Botswana is within a private andBeyond wilderness concession of twenty-six thousand hectares to the south-east of the Moremi Sanctuary.

Xudum is well known for its waterways & abundant wildlife, the Okavango Delta of Botswana is home to some land and water species.

andBeyond Xudum Guests staying here can experience the uniqueness of the Delta with its extraordinary rooftop hideouts in each of the nine individual safari suites. Visitors encounter wildlife in the intricate water canals by dugout or by traversing the savannah in search of the Big Five in a safari vehicle.


Rising high as the treetops, the open upper level of the suites at the Lodge entices guests to relax and unwind in a great hide or to enjoy a private dinner under the stars. Dark wooden frames surround another bed in the bedroom downstairs.

The oversized bath in each suite offers comfort and warmth as well as a choice of outdoor and indoor showers. Guests may snuggle up in the large, round lounger which is big enough for two located on the private deck to watch the beautiful scenery of the Okavango with its wildlife.

An intimate safari getaway destination, this Lodge in Botswana is designed with privacy in mind. Nestled along the banks of the lagoon and guarded by a resident family of hippo, the Lodge flawlessly combines the best of this breathtaking inland delta, the tranquillity, and serenity of gliding through waterways and the excitement of searching for the big game through the green grassland.

Xudum is situated in the northern region of Botswana; the Okavango River is a unique natural phenomenon which disappears under the sands creating a lush inland delta amid this dry countryside.

Depending on the Delta water levels: glide along the Delta’s reed-lined network of channels and lagoons in a mokoro (dugout canoe) and come within a breath of resident and visiting wildlife; alternatively, you may opt for the different perspective of game viewing in a motorised boat.

Probably the best City hotel weve stayed at. Alal Gogo was particularly outstanding. He managed to arrange for us to attend the Woody Allan Band show with our guest (who is a musician) even when it had been booked out and was very courteous throughout. Thank you so muclh. A wonderful stay.
