overview

Xigera Camp is situated on 'Paradise Island' within the Moremi Game Reserve and sits in a unique and beautiful location made up of wetlands, deep delta channels and dense riverine vegetation. The camp consists of a lounge, pub and dining area built under thatch and overlooking a permanently flowing channel. The area lends itself to a number of safari activities that allow you to explore this part of the central Okavango Delta. Explore the winding waterways on canoe trips and enjoy the sunset on a motorboat cruise.

Xigera is predominantly a water camp but if water levels are low enough, you can go on 4X4 game drives - commonly sighted animals include lion, elephant, hippo, crocodile and the elusive, swamp-dwelling sitatunga antelope. The area is also home to numerous bird species with local specials such as Pel's fishing-owl, African skimper, slaty egret and wattled crane all resident.

A unique feature at Xigera Camp is the footbridge at the front of the island that provides the only walkway for predators to cross from island to island. At the foot of the walkway is a sand pit and your guides will be able to identify the animals that pass through the camp at night by the footprints left in the sand.

Facilities

The thatched main area of Xigera consists of a comfortable lounge area, dining room and a bar with a view. The main area extends out onto a wooden deck with sweeping views of the Okavango Delta.

A stargazing deck with its own campfire extends over the waters of the permanent channel and makes for the ideal spot to have that evening's last nightcap.

"Xigera offers not only the perfect setting to laze on the deck while overlooking the water with a cold sundowner in hand, but also some exciting water-based game viewing experiences."
