&Beyond's Xaranna Tented Camp is situated near a permanent channel of the Okavango Delta in 25 000 hectares of pristine wilderness that is shared by only 18 guests. The Camp boasts breathtaking views of the channel, providing guests with a water and wilderness experience that combines the best of what the Okavango has to offer. Birders should watch out for the elusive Pel's fishing owl, while the endangered African wild dog and semi-aquatic red lechwe are endemic to the area.

Male leopard treed by two spotted hyaenas

With all the rains in summer animals can be difficult to spot,as the bush become so thick.But using all the senses one can have an idea of what is going on out there.On a morning game drive we stopped under a baobab tree to have our coffee as we heard an alarm call from impalas. We drove to where the impalas were calling from only to find two spotted hyaenas with their heads held high looking at the thick canopy of a rain tree. Suddenly we heard a rustle of the leaves and then we saw this leopard balancing its weight on a thin branch.
