A story of remarkable renewal

Xigera is our love letter to the magic of the African bush.

    Xigera Safari Lodge

    Okavango Delta, Botswana

    Transformed by Africa's life-enhancing beauty

    The story of Xigera Safari Lodge is one of renewal. Of rebirth and family legacy, and of the pioneering spirit that drives us to seek out Africa’s wild spaces. The same spirit that inspired this remarkable reimagining, perhaps a complete reinvention, of an Okavango Delta safari.

    This is Xigera (pronounced ‘kee-jera’), named for the Pied Kingfisher that makes its home amid the watery channels of Botswana’s Moremi Game Reserve.

    Every aspect is handcrafted to beguile our guests’ senses and stir their souls – from the evocative interiors to one-of-a-kind encounters.

    But Xigera is equally a line in the sand. A raising of the bar. A bold statement in the realm of luxury safaris, and an Okavango Delta safari experience like no other.

    We care about…

    Our children’s future

    We continue to reduce most unnecessary single-use plastics within our hotels and we work with Winnow Solutions to reduce our food waste and measure and manage our energy use. We proudly work with Clean Conscience to recycle leftover toiletries, and stock Belu water throughout our hotels.

    Africa

    We work closely with The TreadRight Foundation and Wild Entrust Africa. Our sustainable initiatives are at the heart of everything we do, from sending organic waste to communities local to Xigera for their garden projects, to protecting a herd of Cape Mountain Zebras and ancient rock art sites, both at Bushmans Kloof.

    Our honey bees

    We enjoy growing our own ingredients in the hotel kitchen gardens and caring for our hotel bees that make honey for our guests to enjoy at breakfast.

    Our living wall

    We are proud to sustain one of London’s largest Living Walls, standing at 350 square metres and with a total of 10,000 herbaceous plants, providing a wildlife habitat for the city’s bees, butterflies and birds.
