Xaro Lodge is situated in the Okavango Panhandle, right on the main permanent water source of the Okavango Delta. The lodge is set on a peninsula of the mainland, well shaded and hidden amongst a grove of mangosteen, knob thorn and jackal berry trees. The lodge offers a tranquil destination, only accessible by boat and excellent for bird watching.
