Two CC Africa lodges in Botswana make their debuts today. They are Xaranna Tented Camp and Xudum Delta Lodge, both in the Okavango Delta. They both overlook lagoons that provide sweeping views of the intricate network of water that fuels the delta, offering a fantastic water and wilderness adventure.  As usual from CCA, the properties have a low enivronmnetal impact with a commitment to both luxury and eco-friendliness at the same time.
