What wildlife can I expect to encounter while camping at XA-10 in the NG/28 concession?

NG/28, bordering Moremi Game Reserve, is renowned for its diverse wildlife, offering excellent opportunities to see elephants, buffalo, lions, leopards, and wild dogs. Due to its proximity to the Okavango Delta, you can also expect a rich variety of birdlife and aquatic species near XA-10.
