The Xigera Design Collection is by no means a static collection of works on display, but rather a ‘living gallery’ to discover throughout the lodge; delighting, surprising and inspiring guests at every turn.

Take the human-sized hand-woven nests by renowned South African artist Porky Hefer, resting on the deck for moments of quiet contemplation. Wooden benches and chairs – handcrafted by Adam Birch from majestic fallen trees – twist and fold to hold you in a gentle embrace. Within the lounge, the dramatic fireplace of hand-beaten copper shows the form of a lily, a recurring motif that represents Xigera. But the pièce de résistance is the totemic fire-pit sculpture by blacksmith-artist Conrad Hicks, a deeply contemporary expression of the traditional boma setting.
