When you get that perfect shot 📸
Happy Friday from Xaxaba!
💥The culture of Xaxaba is deeply intertwined with the traditional ways of life of the indigenous people of the Okavango Delta, primarily the Bayei and the Hambukushu tribes.
💥 Stories, legends, and histories are passed down through generations via oral traditions. Storytelling is a vital part of cultural heritage, often performed during communal gatherings.
💥 Music and dance are integral to celebrations and rituals. Traditional instruments like drums, rattles, and the mbira (a type of thumb piano) are commonly used. Dances often depict stories of everyday life, nature, and spiritual beliefs.
💥 While traditional practices remain strong, modern influences have also made their way into Xaxaba. Education, tourism, and external trade have brought changes to the lifestyle and economic activities of the people.
💥 Eco-tourism plays a vital role in the local economy, and the community is involved in managing and benefiting from tourism activities. Tourists visiting Xaxaba can experience the local culture through guided tours, cultural performances, and interactions with the community.

Magical Mokoro Rides 🛶
Riding a mokoro offers a unique and tranquil way to explore the Okavango Delta. The shallow draft allows it to navigate through narrow channels and shallow waters, bringing passengers close to wildlife and the natural beauty of the delta. It’s an eco-friendly and serene way to experience one of Africa’s most unique ecosystems.
Navigate through channels lined with vibrant water lilies, spot hippos and elephants up close, and soak in the tranquility of this unique ecosystem. The Okavango Delta is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for a reason—it’s pure magic. The sounds of the delta—chirping birds, rustling reeds, and the distant call of wildlife—create a symphony that connects you to the heart of Africa. 🦜🌸🐘🌍🦛🐘

Did you ever think you’d run into the mob on your safari vacation?
Meerkats in the Delta are highly social animals, living in groups, called a “mob”, of up to 30 individuals. Mobs have a hierarchical structure, with an alpha pair leading the group and other members taking on various roles such as babysitting, foraging, and sentry duty.
One of the most fascinating behaviors of meerkats is their cooperative foraging and sentinel behavior. While some individuals search for food, others stand guard, scanning the surroundings for predators such as birds of prey or snakes. These sentinels emit alarm calls to warn the group of potential threats, allowing them to quickly seek refuge in burrows or thick vegetation.
Meerkats primarily feed on insects like beetles, spiders, scorpions, and small vertebrates, but they also consume fruits and plants when available. Despite their small size, they are skilled hunters and can take down prey much larger than themselves.
In the Okavango Delta, meerkats adapt to the seasonal changes in water levels and vegetation, moving to higher ground during the wet season and returning to lower areas during the dry season. This adaptability and their cooperative nature contribute to their survival in this dynamic and challenging environment.

How it all started 🦁
Meet Jack Anderson! A proper and proud Houstonian, Jack graduated from guiding school at the top of his class after finishing up at university. He’s logged well over 600 walking hours with over 120 dangerous game encounters.
Jack’s approach to safari guiding comes from an authentic place of understanding the surroundings around him and observing how they coexist with one-another. That, at our very core, is the ethos of Cambium Safari - connecting people to nature.
We’re a US-based business with deep roots, love, and admiration for Botswana. Over the last few years, we’ve prioritized building genuine relationships with Botswana natives and the land around them.
Jack is very much active today in guiding and will be leading all Cambium Safari guides in 2024. We hope you join us in Botswana for adventure, friendship, education, and a really fun time! We can’t wait to share our appreciation and love for what we do with all of you!
