Xaranna
&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. |

 If anyone sees the Delta as a gigantic living organism then please know that the heart is in Angola and it pumps once in a year. The beneficiaries are what makes the Okavango such a magnificent place to visit. Wattled cranes at Xaranna are spoiled for food choice.

 Against the background that animals especially cats get contained within certain islands owing to flood water in the Delta, making it a mission, sometimes impossible, to discover sightings of these most sought after top predators. Guests that stayed at Xaranna had a jaw dropping leopard encounter recently.

 This year the flood waters have been exceptionally high in the Okavango Delta . The fish have taken advantage of this by breeding with great success. As the waters start to recede it draws the fry closer to the main channels, attracting predator fish and birds. Here a Squacco Heron lands in the reeds, ready to start its feeding frenzy.

While we were tracking a leopard cub we were about 500 metres away when we saw a francolin flying without a tail. We found her feeding on the chick of francolin (By Gin & Tonic)
