Xigera Camp, Botswana

Contact a specialist about Xigera Camp, Botswana

Nestled in a magnificent riverine forest, Xigera epitomises the Okavango Delta: a tranquil true Delta experience in the domain of the elusive sitatunga antelope and sought-after Pel's Fishing-Owl. Xigera Camp (pronounced Keejera) dwells on an island in the heart of the Delta in Moremi Game Reserve. Xigera is set in what is truly a wetland paradise, surrounded as it is by deep channels and lush riverine vegetation. Lion and leopard are often seen from the camp crossing the bridge.
