Xigera Safari Lodge (1)
Moremi

On the edge of the Moremi Game Reserve in the Okavango Delta, Xigera Safari Lodge offers a safari unlike any other — where untamed wilderness meets extraordinary artistry and heartfelt hospitality. Reimagined by the Tollman family, Xigera has been transformed from a modest camp into a sanctuary of beauty and meaning, every detail crafted to honour Botswana’s land, its wildlife, and its people. From architecture inspired by the flight of birds to the world’s largest privately owned collection of contemporary African art, Xigera is a living tribute to the Delta’s spirit.

Here, luxury and sustainability exist in perfect harmony. The lodge runs almost entirely on solar power, embraces a zero-waste, plastic-free philosophy, and pioneers wildlife conservation through cutting-edge research and close partnerships that protect endangered species. At the same time, Xigera is deeply human: owned in part by its Botswanan team, home to over 120 dedicated staff, and committed to nurturing the next generation of hospitality leaders through training, apprenticeships, and international exchanges.

Xigera is more than a lodge — it is a celebration of Botswana itself. From community projects and education initiatives to unforgettable encounters with the Delta’s rarest wildlife, every experience reflects a vision of tourism as a force for good. Recognised worldwide for its innovation and beauty, Xigera invites you to discover a place where conservation, culture, and creativity come together to shape the future of safari.

Set in the heart of the Okavango Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Xigera Safari Lodge rests on the western edge of the Moremi Game Reserve. Just a 25-minute charter flight from Maun followed by a short transfer, the lodge is surrounded by ancient forests and seasonal floodplains alive with wildlife, offering an experience where nature is not a backdrop but part of daily life.

With only 12 air-conditioned suites, including a two-bedroom Family Suite of over 180m², Xigera is designed for privacy and stillness. Each suite blends seamlessly into the landscape with private decks, gazebos, and outdoor showers overlooking the Delta. The lodge runs 92% on solar power, eliminating 175,000 litres of diesel annually, and 16% of its ownership is held by its Botswanan team, reflecting a deep commitment to sustainability and people. Extraordinary wildlife encounters unfold daily — from tree-climbing lions and leopards raising cubs beside camp, to the rare resighting of cheetah in the Delta.

Days are entirely your own — game drives, mokoro and boat safaris, bush walks, wild picnics, starlit dinners, or simply time spent in the spa, pool, or library surrounded by the world’s largest privately owned collection of contemporary African art. For an unforgettable night, the sculptural Baobab Treehouse rises 10 metres above the floodplain — open to the stars, and to the soul of the Delta.

I just wish the world was twice as big and half of it was still unexplored.
