I muddled through somehow though… probably the river of G&Ts which flows from the ever-friendly staff! Xudum and Xaranna are the latest additions to the CC Africa stable and certainly look set to become two of their flagship camps. CC Africa (whose name is set to change in the next few weeks, so watch this space) has long been famous for their well-trained guides, and now they are playing in the ultra-luxury accommodation space too. Suites at both camps are enormous, with all the romantic mod-cons you could hope for – deep bathtubs, outdoor sala for lazy afternoons, gargantuan bed under billowing mosquito net. Best of all… not a TV in sight. Although there is wi-fi available if you can't bear to be out of touch. The easiest way into the camps is to fly into Maun, a two-hour flight from Johannesburg. From there it's a 15-20 minute flip on a 'vomit-comet' light plane to the gravel air strip, then a 30-minute journey by boat and 4x4 to the lodges. I'll be writing more about the lodges in the next week or two, so keep an eye out on the site. In the meantime, visit www.ccafrica.com.
