Xigera Safari Lodge
The Okavango Delta

Xigera Safari Lodge in Setswana stands for ‘Paradise Island’ – aptly named given its picture perfect palm-fringed islands, crystal clear channels and papyrus beds. From Xigera, safari outings are varied and hugely enjoyable. Seasonal boat trips, Mokoro excursions and game drives on the game-rich Nxabega Island are all available. Boat trips do depend on water levels which tend to vary, but the level will always allow for some boating where you may encounter a wallowing hippo, a lone crocodile or the rare and elusive Sitatunga antelope.   

Xigera Safari Lodge has 9 spacious and airy tents nestled between giant riverine forest trees, connected by an elevated wooden walkway. There is a well-appointed family suite which has 2 bedrooms each with en-suite bathrooms. A daily and most unusual highlight at the lodge is reading the ‘morning news’ – the tracks of nocturnal visitors left behind in a sandpit on the bridge.

There is a charming sitting area and dining is either al fresco or in the lovely dining room. The pool area is secluded and a super treat for those hot October afternoons!

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
