Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to visit XA-3 for optimal wildlife viewing within NG/28 Moremi Game Reserve?

The dry season, from May to October, offers the best wildlife viewing as animals congregate around permanent water sources, making them easier to spot. However, the green season (November-April) provides lush landscapes, excellent birdwatching, and newborn animals, offering a different but equally rewarding experience.

What unique wildlife encounters can guests specifically expect at XA-3, given its deep location within NG/28 Moremi?

XA-3's prime location allows for exceptional sightings of predators like lions, leopards, and the endangered African wild dog, which thrive in Moremi. Guests frequently observe large herds of elephants and buffalo, alongside diverse antelope species and a rich variety of birdlife, often right from the camp's vicinity.

What defines the "authentic safari experience" and "camp" accommodation at XA-3, distinguishing it from other lodges?

XA-3 provides a true wilderness immersion through comfortable, yet unfenced, tented accommodations that blend seamlessly with the natural environment. This setup ensures a genuine connection to the bush, with the sounds and sights of Moremi surrounding you, offering a more intimate and less structured safari feel.

How do travelers typically reach XA-3, considering its remote location deep within NG/28 Moremi Game Reserve?

Access to XA-3 is primarily via light aircraft transfers from Maun International Airport to a designated airstrip within the Moremi Game Reserve. From the airstrip, guests are met by lodge staff for a scenic game drive transfer directly to the camp, providing an immediate start to the safari adventure.

What specific safety measures and health precautions are in place or recommended for guests staying at XA-3 in the remote NG/28 Moremi?

XA-3 employs experienced guides for all activities, ensuring guest safety during game drives and walks. Guests are advised to take malaria prophylaxis as Moremi is a malaria-risk area, and to follow all camp guidelines regarding movement outside tents, especially after dark, due to the presence of wild animals.
