Certainly one of the finest lodges in Botswana.. Xigera is a sublime mix of ultimate quality coupled with a superb wildlife experience.
Newly built in 2020, this lodge sits as high as any in Africa in terms of quality, and also sits in a prime position, in the heart of the Okavango Delta. Sitting under the shade of a canopy off trees, Xigera looks out over the floodplains of the Delta, offering 12 suites of an enormous size and opulence.
We describe Xigera as a “mixed” camp, as it offers both land and water activities, however the lodge is as biased as it was in the old days towards water activities, mainly due to the habitat it sits within.
There is a huge family room for those with children over 12 to relax in. A further kilometre away there is also the Baobab Treehouse, an innovative design to resemble the tree of its name, it stands 10 meters high and allows for a marvelous and unique sleep-out.
All in all, Xigera is another addition to Botswana’s relentless drive to provide the very best lodges in a world heritage wildlife destination.

Wildlife
Elephants are arguably the stars of the show. Northern Botswana is home to the world’s largest population of Loxodonta Africana, and at last count more than 130 000 wild elephant still roamed free here.
On mokoro and motorboat excursions look out for the area’s smaller inhabitants, like the tiny mottled frogs that cling to delicate papyrus reeds. Stealthy crocodiles and large pods of hippo shy away from attention in the deeper channels and lagoons, while healthy populations of endangered rhinoceros find safe refuge on the secluded islands of the Okavango.
