For guests staying three nights or more at Nxamaseri Island Lodge by Desert & Delta Safaris, a transformative overnight expedition to the Tsodilo Hills Sleep-Out Camp awaits. Guests journey from the lodge to this ancient destination, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to sleep in traditionally inspired pods. Here, at the foot of Botswana's Tsodilo Hills, guests will experience Botswana with unmatched authenticity. Evenings are spent around the fire, listening to the generational tales and songs of Botswana’s oldest custodians, the San People, who also perform an incredible interpretation of the sacred "trance dance". The Nxamaseri team join guests on-site, ensuring comfort, delicious meals, and continuous support for consistently exceptional service. Daytime adventures include guided walks to the hills to see ancient rock art or an optional hike up the Male Hill, Botswana’s highest peak. This life-changing journey ends back at Nxamaseri Island Lodge, where meaningful luxuries, soul and nature meet. The journey to the Sleep-Put Camp is by road with the option of scenic helicopter transfers (one way or round trip, surcharges apply).

Family Sleep-Out Pod
The Tsodilo Hills Sleep-Out Camp has one Family Pod with two sleeping spaces (two adults and two children (under 16) max). Beds can be arranged as double or twin configurations, according to preference. The maximum number of guests in camp is eight adults and two children. Designed to minimise its ecological impact, the camp accommodation is basic but authentic. Each canvas Pod is set on elevated platforms beneath the sheltering canopy of Zambezi Teak trees, with the majestic Male Hill as a beautiful backdrop. Bathrooms are “bush toilets” built next to the Pods comprising an outside (covered) bucket shower. Camp staff need to be briefed to prepare warm water for showering. Rooms are small and draw inspiration from the nomadic bushman dwellings, reflecting the heritage of the local community that has inhabited the area for generations. This unique design, built in collaboration with the local community not only blends seamlessly with the environment but also pays homage to the custodians of this remarkable place.
