Safari
Xigera Safari Lodge offers guests the freedom to create their own Okavango Delta adventure. Enjoy game drives at your own leisure, in cars especially adapted for the demanding local environment, with local safari guides who are each experts in their field. You can also connect with nature on a private walking safari led by expert guides and appreciate the raw beauty of Africa, or make the most of the local surroundings and track down beauties with a dedicated photographic safari. Fishing lovers can also enjoy in-season catch-and-release fishing experiences, or thrilling explorations either by traditional mokoro boat (with a glass-bottom for seeing the marine life) or a motorboat with an elevated deck for wildlife spotting.
Hotel Experiences
As well as incredible safari adventures, enjoy a range of onsite experiences and amazing opportunities to explore the stunning location. Join one of the guides and enjoy a unique tour of the impressive artwork throughout the site, visit the Xigera Shop which sells artisanal designs and fashions sourced throughout Africa, or spend some time viewing the myriad of stars near the warm campfire and relax with a refreshing drink. You can relax at the soothing pool pavilion and take in a world of sites, from wild game to the surrounding flora and fauna.
Spa Breaks
During your visit to Xigera Safari Lodge, enjoy a range of relaxing and rejuvenating body and facial treatments at the secluded spa.

Additionally, Xigera Safari Lodge offers an extensive wellness programme, featuring international guest experts and pioneers in the fields of mindfulness, wellness and holistic healing, channelling the natural healing powers of the wilderness.
