As mentioned, this isn't a lodge for big-game safaris, but the boat trips for bird-watching are first class, and whilst there tends to be less emphasis on mokoro excursions, these are also possible when the water levels are high and there are suitable areas of shallow water nearby.

Fishing is another major activity here, and is possible throughout the year. For enthusiastic anglers, the very best tiger-fishing months are from August to November, and the best times for bream are between March to June. During the first three months of the year the rain and new floodwaters are said to disturb the fish, which move out to the floodplains – and so fishing in the channels can be more difficult.

The record tiger-fish catch here is about 6.7kg, though in a normal season they'd expect to have 10–15 catches over the 6kg mark. Fly-fishing and lure/spinning fishing are done here, and Nxamaseri pride themselves in keeping their equipment in good condition. Like most Okavango Lodges, Nxamaseri operates a 'catch-and-release' system with fishing, except for the occasional bream taken for the table. They have two large, flat, barge-like boats which provide a very stable platform for several people fishing, and is also ideal for photography.
