Xaxaba Airstrip (fbxb)

Xaxaba Airstrip (FBXB) is a safari airstrip located in the Okavango Delta of northwestern Botswana, approximately 3.5 km west of the village of Xaxaba. It is positioned just outside the Moremi Game Reserve and provides an important aviation gateway for safari camps and lodges in the Xaxaba area.



The airstrip is approximately at 19°33′S, 23°03′E, or about -19.5503, 23.0547 in decimal coordinates. It has a sand runway of approximately 1,100 metres and is designed primarily for light safari aircraft and charter flights rather than large commercial aircraft.



Xaxaba Airstrip is particularly useful for accessing safari camps around Xaxaba, Chief's Island and the surrounding Okavango Delta. For example, Xaxaba Mobile Camp uses the airstrip, with guests continuing by boat for approximately 45 minutes after landing.
