Motorboats take you through the channels and lagoons around the Khwai River, reaching parts of the Okavango Delta that game drive vehicles cannot access. This one-hour trip from Camp Xakanaxa takes place in aluminium boats with padded seats, a canvas roof and life jackets. As you travel past reed beds and flooded plains, your guide may stop to watch elephants, hippos and birds such as herons, kingfishers and fish eagles.
