Stay at Xigera Safari Lodge

Xigera Safari Lodge is located on the western side of the game-rich Moremi Game Reserve, in one of the Okavango Delta’s key waterways. The lodge is surrounded by picturesque papyrus swamps and wooded islands and is renowned for its remarkable mammal sightings.

The lodge is set to pioneer a new era for the African bush, authentic and utterly in tune with its surroundings. Using a light footprint model, the camp has just 12 individually designed air-conditioned suites, including one two-bedroom family suite situated on two islands, bridged together with an extraordinary bronze lily centerpiece.

The design of the lodge is game-changing, with surprising touches redefining what it is to experience the African bush –

from human-sized woven nests resting on decks for guests to nestle in, to a life-changing sleep-out under the stars in a three-story steel baobab tree. Within the lodge itself, bespoke works have been commissioned exclusively for the property from Africa’s most compelling artists.

Xigera Safari Lodge is perhaps most importantly offering its guest total flexibility. Morning and evening game drives are at your leisure. Walking safaris and fishing (in season) can similarly be tailored around the guest’s schedule. Other activities include exploring the Delta’s waterways by traditional canoe, glass-bottom mokoro and motorboat – and an unforgettable ‘feet-in-the-water’ sundowner to finish the day.

Game Drives

Xigera is a water- and land-based lodge offering guests the opportunity to experience both aspects of the Okavango Delta.

Walking Safaris

Head out on foot with your expert guide to see the bush from a totally different perspective. Bush walks are done outside of the Moremi Game Reserve.

Mokoro Excursions

Admire the striking waterbirds of the Delta, who have come to bathe and drink along the waterways, as you glide along in a glass-bottom mokoro.

Boating

Travel further away from camp on a motorboat to spot crocodiles and hippos splashing around the Delta - maybe even an elusive situtanga!

Baobab Treehouse

Spend a night in the hideout in the bush, transformed into a star bed for endless nights of gazing at the southern hemisphere's constellations.

Fishing

Put your angling skills to the test as you cast a line into the Delta's waterways, looking for the fighting African tigerfish.

Birding

Sit back and listen to the birdsong as you admire the number of birds around Tubu, with large concentrations of wattled crane.

The Pitchers

We had the most amazing time! John Barclay and his team were very special and the mobile safari exclusive and superb. Moremi was very quiet with few other tourists – no more than a dozen other vehicles seen in four days. Macatoo was also excellent with good riding and game. We were so grateful for the help that you offered when our BA flights went wrong. Many thanks again for the superb service and recommendations which made for a great holiday.
