Take a journey through to the luxurious Xigera Safari Lodge... situated in the western reaches of Botswana’s iconic Moremi Game Reserve, gazing out on the seasonal floodplains of the Okavango Delta, Xigera’s unique location offers unrivalled access to extraordinary safari experiences.A lavish reinvention of a much-loved location in a plum private concession within the wild Moremi Game Reserve. It’s owned and run by fourth-generation hoteliers, so every inch and detail champions Africa’s coolest designers and artists. To this add year-round access to the Delta’s pristine waterways and experienced guides tuned into the nuances of the landscapes, animals and seasons.An off-grid camp, run like a smart hotel by travel stalwarts the Tollman family, Xigera represents the sharp edge of transformative, sustainable travel in one of Botswana’s prime private concessions. Thanks to the family’s takeover of this former Wilderness Safaris-run property on the western edge of Moremi Game Reserve, the dozen perfectly positioned, solar-powered tents, elevated between riverine forest, are filled to the brim with bespoke, artisanal pieces and artworks by Southern Africa’s creatives. This is the most pampered, plush, personalised safari to be had in the Delta.
Xigera is a love letter to the magic of the African bush... and we believe that there is nothing quite like it. Every aspect is handcrafted to beguile the guests’ senses and stir their souls – from the evocative interiors to one-of-a-kind encounters.

Dining
A feast for the sensesThe journey of discovery doesn’t end when the mokoro slips ashore or the 4x4 returns to camp. Dining at Xigera offers guests a unique culinary safari, seamlessly blending fresh local ingredients and African inspiration, with the tradition of refined cuisine.
Recreation
Helicopter safari - Take to the skies to view Xigera from an aerial perspective - the only way to get a true sense of space and place. Private safari - Enjoy a private safari experience, an entirely bespoke offering tailored meticulously to your requirements. Life on the water - an experience unique to the Delta is a morning spent gliding along flooded channels by mokoro, the dugout canoe used by generations for transport in a region where there are many more rivers than roads. Though traditionally carved from a single tree trunk, at Xigera Safari Lodge our innovative glass-bottomed mokoro – constructed from sturdy fibre-glass – allow for incredible views of the Delta both above and below. While mokoro are perfect for discovering the filigree of smaller channels, catching fleeting glimpses of African pike or bright-green nembwe fish, motorboat excursions allow for exploration of the deeper rivers and lagoons that are home to crocodile and large pods of hippo. In-season, catch-and-release fishing can be enjoyed just outside the Moremi Game Reserve.The Baobab Treehouse - Sleep beneath the stars, enveloped by the calls of nature and the magic of the wilderness.
