Xigera Safari Lodge

Botswana is a best kept secret for jaw dropping game drives and Xigera provides priceless perfection to the experience. Every crevice of this property speaks to one of a kind, artistic luxury. This lodge takes customized to a whole new level as every piece of furniture is a work of art. The staff is what makes this property soar high above the Okavango Delta (know as Africa’s ‘last eden’) and ensures our return visit. A special thank you to to Stedan Otto-the perfectionist COO who has eyes in the back of his head for service! He and his passionate team of service masters love their work- with a special appreciation for Mr. T in the restaurant. Rachel in the spa and Dez- a talented and intuitive game driver who uncovered magic at every turn of our heart pounding game drives.

Lovely place in lovely nature. This was the most beautiful nature and safari ever.... something totally different. The Lodge was amazing with fantastic clean villas to relax in. I travel around the world and try outstandig hotels but this was out of this world. Service friendly and full of will and love. The most and best thanks to our guide SALANI ❤️. He worked so hard for us and he found everything you wished. He know all about nature and animals and is so nice to be with. He did our trip!!! Thank you SALANI🙏See you again👍

My husband, daughter and I returned today from an extraordinary five days at the magical Xigera Safari Lodge. This is actually my second review as the first I wrote this morning contained so many superlatives that TripAdvisor told me off for using AI ! I didn't, of course, but I am toning down my review to ensure it is published. Xigera is a masterpiece and sits unobtrusively in the landscape seeming almost invisible to the passing wildlife. During our trip we watched warthogs having a dust bath, a lion hunting, and elephants taking a stroll - all from the balcony of our suite. (The suites are elevated from the ground so there are no unwanted visitors except the occasional monkey.) The suites are beautifully designed with every comfort and the public areas of the lodge are equally attractive.The food is great too. We had a fabulous meal on our last night cooked by chef Natalie - six courses using locally produced meat and vegetables. Thank you to the restaurant chefs too who fed us heartily after game drives, and on one memorable occasion surprised us with an outdoor breakfast on beautifully laid tables - white tablecloths, napkins, mimosas! Of course we went on safari to see the animals and we certainly did! Every early morning and late afternoon we set off with our brilliant guide, Des, to track the animals from our jeep or boat, and every day produced another wonderful experience. We saw lions, leopards, giraffes, water buffalo, eagles, zebra, crocodiles, owls, wildebeests, hippos, wild dogs and lots of birds. Des was enormously knowledgable and he kept us safe, entertained and educated. We spent one night in Xigera's 'tree house' - a secure three storey creation that enables you to sleep out under the stars in comfort, and what stars they are! The Milky Way was clearly visible - there's no light pollution - and we spent a wonderful night picnicking and watching the shooting stars overhead. Oh and listening to the hippos grunting away in the nearby pool. The staff at Xigera are warm and professional. Their service is impeccable and done with a smile. Nothing is too much trouble. We would like to thank them all for making us so welcome and giving us the experience of a lifetime.

My Wife and I stayed here for five days at the beginning of May 2025. The wildlife here is prolific and varied. Elephant, giraffe, hippos, leopard, cheetah and numerous other mammal. Birdlife is also spectacular. Our guide for five days (Lesh) was very knowledgeable and professional and was always on hand to help with anything. The Lodge itself has a restaurant, bar, library, spa, gym and swimming pool. The food and service from all staff was superb. Forget anywhere you’ve ever been, anywhere in the world, Xigera takes it to another level. We will never forget our experience. Andrew Williams

Everything was excellent honestly . The atmosphere , the relaxation and the drinks kept on coming 😂❤️ . The activities were amazing including the landscapes. Each camp is situated in various parts of the Delta. Xigera is located in an ever green area, which makes a stunning backdrop for the beautiful African sunsets 😍.
