Best for Responsible Safaris: !Xaus Lodge

January 13, 2011

From the December issue of Kanoo World Traveller:

This camp in the Kalahari Desert is a rarity in the safari world in that it’s run by local bushman communities – its unusual, exclamation-marked name means ‘heart’ in the local language, Nama. Staying in the lodge’s dozen wooden chalets is by no means ‘roughing it’, but you will feel closer to nature here than at some of the grander lodges.
