The sightings at Xigera Safari Lodge this month have truly been extraordinary. We've been privileged to witness frequent appearances of majestic herds, ranging from red lechwe, impala, and blue wildebeest to buffalos and warthogs accompanied by their adorable piglets.

This month in the Okavango Delta, we experienced a number of thunderstorms. Interestingly, these conditions appeared to favour the lions, granting them an advantage in their hunting endeavours. Consequently, they enjoyed many feasts to sustain their ever-growing families.

One of our two resident Xigera males was spotted patrolling his territory right in front of the Suites at Xigera, offering guests a thrilling safari experience from the comfort of their decks. These majestic brothers dominate this part of our concession, spending their time patrolling and protecting the females, who are now expecting cubs. Their vigilance is heightened as they remain ever-watchful for any intruding males attempting to encroach upon their territory.

A precious family moment unfolded before our eyes as the lions spent a lazy afternoon together, basking in the warm sun. It was a scene of pure serenity, where time seemed to stand still, allowing us to glimpse the deep bonds shared among these magnificent creatures.
February has revealed Xigera as a bustling hub of life, brimming with numerous extraordinary encounters. As we eagerly anticipate the growth of the cubs and the arrival of new faces, as well as the return of familiar ones, we are reminded of the boundless wonders that await us throughout the year.
The diversity of wildlife in the Moremi Game Reserve and the awe-inspiring landscape of the Okavango Delta never fails to astound us. Join us at Xigera and share in the exhilarating variety of experiences, sightings, and truly memorable occasions.
