What Africa Uncovered says…

Xigera Camp is situated amongst the most beautiful settings of narrow water channels and riverine forest in the Okavango Delta. Xigera is an excellent camp to start a luxury Okavango safari.

Xigera Camp Description

Each room at Xigera Camp is raised off the ground on a wooden deck and offer superb views of the seasonal floodplain and waterhole. Meals and evening drinks are enjoyed under the thatch of the raised lounge, pub and dining area. A traditional African boma offers alternative dining under the African stars. Wooden walkways wind through the forest connecting the rooms to the main living area. For those hot days there is a small plunge pool to cool off in. A feature unique to Xigera Camp is the wooden footbridge connecting Xigera Island to a neighbouring island. Guests are often treated to close up views of lions, hyenas or leopard padding across the bridge as they move between islands.

ACTIVITIES & WILDLIFE

Permanent water all year round allows one to enjoy an unparalleled variety of activities including, mokoro trips, game drives and safaris by boat (when flood levels are high) in total privacy. 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.

Paradise for avid 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. There is also an abundance of good game including Red Letchwe, the elusive Sitatunga Antelope, Lion, Hyena, and Leopard. Although the focus at Xigera is mainly on water activities, game drives are offered all year round.

Access to Xigera is by light aircraft only.
