&Beyond's Xudum Okavango Delta Lodge nestles on the banks of a lagoon on a permanent channel of the Okavango Delta. Discrete suites boast sweeping views of the intricate network of water that fuels the ever-changing ecosystems of this lush inland delta. Twice-daily expeditions by open 4x4 safari vehicles, mekoro or power boats, as well as walking safaris, offers guests myriad opportunities to explore and discover the abundant wildlife by land or water. Experience intimate encounters with a magnificent variety of animal and bird life, including such elusive species as Pel's fishing owl and the African wild dog.
THE CARMINES ARE BACK!
Recently while driving around Xudum to one of my favorite spots, with big Baobabs, we stumbled upon this spectacle. The Carmine Bee-eaters are attracted to this spot because of the abundance of insects and short grass for their nesting sight.
