MAXA
A Breath of Fresh Air in the Okavango
In the heart of Botswana’s untouched wilderness, where ancient trees stretch toward the skies and the pulse of nature beats strong and steady, something remarkable has taken root. Introducing Maxa, a bold new safari experience in the Okavango Delta, crafted by the hands and hearts of three young safari professionals who dared to dream differently.
Their vision? To create a bush camp that doesn’t just sit in the landscape, but belongs to it. With Maxa, they’ve achieved just that — a retreat that blends seamlessly with the towering African ebony forest it rests beneath. This is not just another luxury camp. It’s an immersion in nature, artfully balanced between style, sustainability, and a deep respect for tradition.
What sets Maxa apart is not just its location — remote, raw, and unexplored — but the spirit in which it was built. From the very first sketch in a well-traveled notebook to the final handmade detail, Maxa is a testament to vision, grit, and creativity. In just six months, using primarily local materials, skills, and environmentally conscious building practices, the team brought their dream to life. Every inch of the camp bears their personal signature — hand-forged furnishings, design quirks, and artistic touches that reflect years of inspiration drawn from the wild.
Here, safari returns to its roots. Guests don’t simply observe nature from behind a lens or the window of a 4×4. Instead, they become part of it. Whether gliding silently through water channels in a mokoro, tracking game on foot, or traversing floodplains by vehicle, the experience is fully immersive. It’s expedition-style safari reimagined — fresh, intimate, and unforgettable.
Surrounded by a maze of seasonal waterways, forested islands, and golden floodplains teeming with wildlife — lion, leopard, elephant, hippo, and the elusive wild dog — Maxa is a frontier both in geography and spirit.
Ker & Downey Botswana, the operator behind this unique project, continues to set new standards in bespoke safari experiences. With Maxa, they’ve pushed the envelope even further — bringing innovation, authenticity, and youthful passion to the forefront of the Botswana safari landscape.

Maxa is not just a destination. It’s a revelation — of what happens when creativity meets wilderness, and the result is nothing short of extraordinary.

NATU
natu eco escape aruba
Aruba’s first luxury tented camp, fully off-grid and family-built, offering immersive nature stays that fund the regeneration of a historic cunucu. Disconnect to reconnect — NATU invites you to experience the wild beauty of Aruba like never before. Our name is rooted in the local prickly pear cactus, the tuna, and the word nature — honoring the wild beauty that inspires us.
Vision
Born from a shared dream between Josy and Roel, a young couple with a deep passion for nature. They created a unique, small-scale Camp tucked into Aruba’s rugged mondi — a peaceful, off-grid retreat where guests can truly disconnect to reconnect. Every stay supports the revitalization of their family’s historic cunucu (farmland), helping to preserve Aruba’s cultural heritage and natural beauty through conscious, regenerative tourism.
Founders’ Involvement
Josy and Roel have been personally involved in every step of NATU’s creation — from concept development, engineering, and project management to landscaping, furniture design, and even assisting with the physical installation of the tents alongside Tentickle’s Project Manager. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated with love, dedication, and hands-on care.
Why this location? NATU is set on a historic family owned cunucu located in the heart of Aruba’s untouched wilderness. Surrounded by native flora, dramatic rock formations, and sweeping views, the land carries the spirit of old Aruba — raw, serene, and authentic. NATU offers complete nature immersion, while remaining conveniently close to Aruba’s highlights.

- Curated Guest Experiences: Optional activities like private hikes, a private chef experience, curated travel itineraries, yoga, meditation, and ice baths are available.
- Ideal Location: Remote enough for tranquility, yet just a 10-minute drive from Mangel Halto Beach and less than 30 minutes from Eagle Beach, ranked among the world’s best.
