At this time of the year at Xigera, we have the most amazing bird sightings at the fish traps dotted all over the Moremi Game Reserve. As the water starts to dry up it creates the most incredible bird parties, one in particular hosting an estimated 200 Pelicans, Egrets, Marabou Storks, Green Shanks, Pied Kingfishers, and African Fish Eagles all enjoying a sumptuous feast.
