Xigera Camp; Luxury Safari Camp in the Moremi, Botswana

Xigera Camp

It is an example of the true Okavango Delta experience. Exploring the waterways around this camp is the main focus of activities with guests spending most days on the water, either by boat or by makoro. The camp has a very relaxed atmosphere with people often spending all day slumped around the camp, simply enjoying being completely surrounded by the delta floods in what is a fabulous camp.

Xigera Camp – The Facts

Xigera Camp – The Detail

Time seems to move at a very relaxed pace at Xigera and being the only camp in the area you are guaranteed to spend the days in complete solitude, sharing the surroundings with Xigera guests alone in total privacy. Game drives during the day and at night offer something for the more active and the walking safaris with the guides here cannot be missed. The camp itself is very well spaced out with each safari tent being joined by a maze of high wooden walkways, allowing game to stroll directly through and under camp. Each tent has a large thatched roof, en-suite bathroom with indoor and outdoor showers as well as a wooden decking veranda offering great views over the floodplains in front. The main lounge and dining areas are spacious and welcoming, focusing around a fire that looks over one of the permanent channels of the Delta.

Xigera Camp - Our View

This camp is all about an area of stunning beauty and nature at its most delicate. When the flood water come down from Angola, the Kalahari changes from an arid desert into a lush lilly covered wetland filled with life. Nowhere in the whole of the Okavango is this more beautiful that in the area surrounding Xigera. Look at the camp and you will see that it is very close to the infamous Mombo….but the sheer volume of big game that Mombo is so famous for is cut off by water and cannot get to the Xigera concession. So although there is big game there, it is not prolific…but the birding and beauty of the area is outstanding. We love Xigera as it epitomises the beauty of the Okavango and Moremi Reserve; a genuinely stunning area.
