IN BOTSWANA'S OKAVANGO DELTA

A SAFARI LODGE LIKE NO OTHER

The story of Xigera (pronounced “Kee-jera”) is one of renewal, reverence, and return.

Born from legacy and shaped by vision, this is not just a safari lodge, it is a handcrafted love letter to the Okavango Delta: to its wildlife, its people, and its future.

Here, nothing is scripted. Everything is felt.

From the moment you arrive, the Delta reveals itself; quietly, powerfully, unmistakably.

Created to reimagine the safari experience, every detail breathes with nature: the service, the design, the freedom to follow desire and instinct over itinerary.

This is not just a safari. It’s Your Safari, Your Story.

Through our video lens

Take a journey into the heart of Xigera. This is not just a place; it’s a feeling. Where sculptural spaces meet untamed wilderness, and every detail is crafted with care and purpose. Set deep in the Moremi Game Reserve, where the Okavango Delta breathes with life, Xigera offers a rare kind of safari, one rooted in soul, luxury, story, and stillness.

WILD SPACES, INSPIRED DESIGN

Xigera is designed to be felt. Every space you enter, every surface you touch, has been imagined and handcrafted by Africa’s most visionary creatives. Its 12 suites are positioned for privacy, stillness, and a front-row seat to the wild. Nothing here is decorative; everything is meaningful. From sculptural chairs to copper fireplaces, every element reflects our love for this land. With Africa’s largest private collection of contemporary art in hospitality, Xigera is a living gallery, where the wild inspires the work, and the work honours the wild. No two stays are ever the same, because every moment is yours.

A VISION ROOTED IN BOTSWANA

For more than three decades, our family has invested in Botswana with deep reverence for its people, landscapes, and future. Xigera is the realisation of that long-held dream: a lodge not built to impress, but to honour. Every detail reflects a personal promise; to protect, preserve, and celebrate one of Earth’s most extraordinary places. This is soulful, caring, hospitality, shaped by sustainability and born of love for the Okavango Delta.

WHERE PURPOSE MEETS EXCELLENCE

We believe true luxury is not in contrast to sustainability, it can be deepened by it. From our solar-powered lodge and plastic-free operations to partnerships with local farmers, artists, and conservationists, every decision reflects conscious care. Xigera sets a new benchmark: where excellence, beauty, and responsibility exist in quiet harmony.
