A few miles outside of Shakawe, in northwestern Botswana and on the tranquil banks of the Okavango River, you will discover Xaro Lodge, an 18-bed luxury Meru tented lodge.  Nestling amongst giant Mangosteen trees and accessible only by boat, the lodge is home to a myriad of birds.  The distinctive cry of the African Fish Eagle, White Backed Night Heron and the elusive Pel’s Fishing Owl make this tropical paradise a must for bird lovers.
