Nxamasere is a village in North-West District of Botswana. It is located along the Okavango river, close to the Okavango Delta panhandle, and has a local airstrip and tarred road. The Maun-Shakawe road also known as A35 passes through the village. The village consists of different cultures which are Khoisan, Herero, Yeyi, Hambukushu and Kgalagadi.
