Xigera Camp

Country:  Botswana

Location: Okavango Delta
 
Style: Luxury Tented Camp

Activities: Land and water based (seasonal)

Xigera (pronounced Keejera) Camp is located on a riverine island in the heart of the Okavango Delta.  

This part of the Moremi Game Reserve is a wetland paradise, with Xigera Camp surrounded by deep channels and lush vegetation, therefore ensuring total privacy.

Accommodation is in 10 luxuriously furnished tented rooms, each with en suite facilities and an outdoor shower.   Raised on wooden platforms and walkways, each tent offers superb views of the seasonal Okavango Delta floodplains and the lagoon.  

The feeling of living in the midst of a riverine forest is one of the features of  Xigera Camp. 

Meals and evening drinks are enjoyed in the lounge, pub and dining area overlooking a permanently flowing channel or under the stars in a traditional African boma.   For those hot days there is a small plunge pool in which you can cool off.

You are sometimes treated to close-up views of  lion or leopard using the footbridge connecting Xigera Camp's island to the next!   The camp "newspaper" (a sandpit built into the bridge to capture paw prints) is "read" each morning and provides information on unseen nightly visitors to camp.

A mokoro ride is mandatory at Xigera Camp.   On this traditional dug-out canoe, the typical sounds are the rustling of the wind through the reeds, the lapping of the water against the boat, and the call of the African Fish-Eagle.  The blue of the sky is mirrored in the water, broken by large round water lily leaves and their stunning purple and white flowers.

During drier years, game drives are available throughout the year, but if there has been a very high flood, drives take place only from late September to April.   Motor boat excursions offer a year round alternative.

Xigera Camp is a delight for birdwatchers, with Pel's fishing owl, African skimmer, slaty egret, wattled crane and a host of raptors, other waterbirds and colourful kingfishers to be seen.   An abundance of wildlife includes red lechwe, lion, and spotted hyena.
