Introduction

Xigera (pronounced Keejera), a luxury safari lodge located deep in the heart of the famed Moremi Game Reserve, surrounded by some of the best wildlife and birdlife found in Botswana.

Access to Xigera is by light aircraft only.

Watch the sunset and the birds gliding home to roost from a motorboat on the Xigera Lagoon. Observe the wildlife and unique Delta scenery from the comfort of a Land Rover or, for the adventurous, track animals on foot. Or take in the beautiful sunrise from your comfortable bed while sipping your morning tea or coffee.

Safari Activities

The main wildlife experiences at Xigera Safari Lodge are based around the waters of the Okavango Delta with "glass-bottomed" mokoro safaris being an absolute highlight. Motorboat excursions are available when one wants to explore deeper into the delta itself.

Fishing in season on a catch and release basis is permitted.

Xigera is one of the few lodges to offer both land and water safari excursions year-round.

Early morning or late afternoon game drives in open 4x4 vehicles are available. Unfortunately, no night drives due to Moremi Game Reserve National Park regulations.

Walking safaris are also available; these come highly recommended by us here at Uyaphi.com, the only true way to appreciate the raw beauty of Africa is to walk amongst it.

Children aged 12 and over are welcome at Xigera Safari Lodge and the full adult rate is charged.
