Nestled under a canopy of towering ebony, marula, and leadwood trees, Maxa looks out over the vibrant Maxa Lagoon—home to a lively cast of birdlife, hippos, and passing elephants. The camp’s setting in Wildlife Management Area NG12 is fed by the clear waters of the Okavango panhandle, making it ideal for mokoro (dugout canoe) safaris and even safe, shallow swim spots.
According to Walter Smith, Sales Director of Ker & Downey Botswana, “This is an incredibly diverse ecosystem. During the past year of development, we’ve witnessed everything from zebra migrations to herds of elephant crossing the floodplains. It’s a wildlife haven.”
Maxa seamlessly blends sustainable luxury with cultural connection. With just five tents (including a family unit), the camp hosts a maximum of 12 guests at a time. Locally handcrafted furniture celebrates Botswana’s artisanship—from pottery and woodwork to weaving—while eco-forward design features include:
- A suspended forest canopy net lounge
- Elevated decks overlooking the lagoon
- A natural pool filtered by local water plants
- A wood-fired oven in the open-plan main area
Activities include walking safaris, day and night game drives, and mokoro excursions—led by expert guides dedicated to delivering memorable, conservation-conscious experiences.
Maxa represents more than just a new camp—it’s a bold step forward in Botswana’s responsible tourism, combining luxury with light environmental impact and deep local engagement. Prices start at $700 per person per night.
