If you’re after an extraordinary safari getaway that combines the best of wildlife, luxury, and unforgettable experiences, this is the place to be. Let’s explore why Xigera Safari Lodge is at the top of every traveller’s list for Okavango Delta holidays. 

Where Is Xigera? 

Xigera Safari Lodge is in the Moremi Game Reserve, part of the Okavango Delta – a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the planet’s most extraordinary ecosystems. This pristine wetland is formed by the Okavango River, which fans out into a maze of waterways, islands, and floodplains, creating a haven for wildlife and a paradise for nature enthusiasts. Accessible by a scenic flight from Maun, Xigera offers a remote yet luxurious experience right in the heart of the delta. 

What Awaits You at Xigera Safari Lodge 

Xigera Safari Lodge invites you to experience the Okavango Delta in all its glory. Here, every day is an opportunity for discovery: 

• Mokoro Excursions: Glide silently through the channels in a traditional dugout canoe, offering incredible views of water lilies, frogs, and even the occasional crocodile. 
• Game Drives: See iconic African wildlife on game drives. Keep your eyes peeled for lions, leopards, elephants, and the rare African wild dog. 
• Walking Safaris: Get up close and personal with the delta’s flora and fauna on a guided walking safari. It’s an intimate way to connect with nature. 
• Birdwatching: The Okavango Delta is a birdwatcher’s dream. Spot rare species like the Pel’s fishing owl or colourful kingfishers. 
• Catch-and-Release Fishing: For anglers, try your hand at fishing in the delta’s abundant waters, where tigerfish and bream await. 

Each activity is carefully curated to provide a unique perspective on the delta’s dynamic ecosystem. 

Luxurious Lodging: Your Home in the Wilderness 

Xigera Safari Lodge sets a new standard for Okavango lodges.
