Xigera Camp, Okavango Delta

Xigera (pronounced Keejera) is a luxury tented camp in the Moremi Game Reserve and is situated in the heart of the Okavango Delta in Botswana. Wooden walkways wind through the forest connecting the rooms to the main living area. For those hot days there is a small plunge pool in which to cool off. A feature unique to Xigera is the wooden footbridge connecting Xigera Island to the next. Guests are often treated to close-up views of lion, hyena or leopard padding across the bridge as they move between islands. The camp “newspaper” (a sand pit built into the bridge) is read each morning and provides information on unseen nightly visitors to camp.

Game Viewing
Permanent water all year round allows guests to enjoy an unparalleled variety of activities including foot safaris, mokoro trips, game drives and powerboat outings. Enjoy a true Delta experience while you sit back in a mokoro (dugout canoe) and silently glide through the wonders of the tranquil Okavango waterways observed by a myriad of delta creatures. Watch the sunset and the birds flying home to roost from a motor boat 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.

A paradise for birdwatchers, Xigera is home to the Pel’s Fishing Owl, African Skimmer, Slaty Egret, Wattled Crane, Lesser Jacana and a host of eagles, vultures, raptors and kingfishers.
