Water is life at Xigera. As the floodwaters ebb and flow, they provide unforgettable opportunities to discover the wilderness from an entirely new perspective.

An experience unique to the Delta is a morning spent gliding along flooded channels by mokoro, the dugout canoe used by generations for transport in a region where there are many more rivers than roads. Though traditionally carved from a single tree trunk, at Xigera Safari Lodge our innovative glass-bottomed mokoro – constructed from sturdy fibre-glass – allow for incredible views of the Delta both above and below.

While mokoro are perfect for discovering the filigree of smaller channels, catching fleeting glimpses of African pike or bright-green nembwe fish, motorboat excursions allow for exploration of the deeper rivers and lagoons that are home to crocodile and large pods of hippo. In-season, catch-and-release fishing can be enjoyed just outside the Moremi Game Reserve.
