They call Xaranna the “lady”, with softer colours inspired by the water lily – olive greens/soft pink. I loved this lodge the most and I didn’t feel it was TOO feminine at all. It had a light hearted feel with great staff. This would probably be the only lodge suitable for if you are sharing with a friend rather than a loved one. As the bathroom is more closed off, with a half moon wall, but still quite spacious. Again huge rooms with a small sitting area and private plunge pool on your deck. The netting around the beds could be a bit lighter material as you might feel a tad claustrophobic, but understandable this is good for keeping the cool air from the Air-conditioning in!
As with Xudum there is air-conditioning and roof fan. Generator power so all gets switched off 1 hour after last guest goes to bed then back on 1 hour prior to wake up (around 4/5am) depending on season. Main airstrip near Xudum and they would usually transfer you short distance to the boats and The concession’s airstrip is closer to Xudum than Xaranna so they would usually transfer you a short distance to the boats and then you boat into Xaranna. However in the dry season (late October/November) this may be a road transfer all the way…
