"Great Stay During the Rainy Season"
Most importantly, the staff was friendly and attentive with great service. Ike, our guide, knows the birds and animals and even found us a life bird.
The rainy season was a fine time to visit - fantastic herds of zebra and wildebeest with plenty of giraffe and elephant." See all these reviews: 6n in Botswana; 1n in Namibia

"Enjoyed this camp"
"Nxai Pan Camp review"
Unfortunately there were heavy thunderstorms each day, which affected what we could do a bit, and led to some disappointing drives as the wildlife had scattered.
We did enjoy our trip to Baines Baobabs - magnificent on the edge of the pans." See all these reviews: 9n in Botswana

"A zebra fest at Naxi Pan"
Again there was an issue of a game being interrupted by taking clients to the air strip. However it was resolved by an offer to join a couple who had just arrived." See all these reviews: 10n in Botswana

"Nxai Pan Camp review"
The rooms are lovely and clean, of a simplicity in furniture and the more beautiful for it. Very comfy beds! Food was excellent.
Our guide, Chester, being aware we are photographers, knew how to position his vehicle to put all our animals into the best light." See all these reviews: 8n in Botswana
"Our annual adventure to Africa 6th and final "
Game viewing not as good here as at other lodges but Chester, our guide still managed to find Lion, Bat Eared Foxes, our 5th different pack pf wild dogs and a Cheetah. Bains Baobabs well worth a visiit" See all these reviews: 16n in Botswana

"Zebras, Elephants, Lions"
Saw lions and cheetahs several times on drives. Downside of nearby water hole with lots of zebras is that there were a lot of annoying flies at the camp. Not a problem in the rooms, only in the central/dining part of the lodge. Food was especially tasty. Rooms are very large and comfortable.
Was disappointed in the guiding. The guide was knowledgeable, but rarely shared any background information on animal habits, the locale, etc. Tried unsuccessfully to pry more info out of him. Also we spent too much time sitting in the truck and waiting for carnivores to wake up and walk around.
There were signs of wear around the camp - our deck had a couple boards buckled, for example." See all these reviews: 9n in Botswana
