Xigera Camp
Surrounded by water and nestled amongst riverine forest on the aptly “Paradise Island”, Xigera came is something of a water wonderland. The ebb and flow on the semi-permanent water allows for an every changing landscape of islands and channels. Seasonal boat trips to shallow water lagoons enable swimming and Mokoro excursions are a speciality, as are game drives on Nxabega Island.
Xigera comprises nine luxury en-suite tents (including a family tent) each with an outdoor shower and connected by elevated walkways. Built on wooden decks, the tents combine canvas and wood creating a light and natural feel that mirrors the surrounding water.
Meals and evening drinks are enjoyed in the lounge and dining area overlooking the permanently flowing channel or under the stars in a traditional African boma. Other camp highlights are the plunge pool and the camp "newspaper" (a sand pit built into the bridge to capture paw prints) which is "read" each morning, revealing last night’s unseen visitors.
HIGHLIGHT: Keep an eye out for these elusive Sitatunga antelope and Pel’s fishing-owl.

There are nine raised luxury tents with en-suite facilities, an outdoor shower – and superb views of the classic Okavango Delta floodplains that surround the camp. Meals and evening drinks are enjoyed in the lounge, bar and dining area overlooking a permanently flowing channel or under the stars in a traditional African boma. For those hot days there is a small plunge pool in which to cool off.

Mokoro Excursions
There is no better way of viewing game and capturing the essence of the Okavango than by traditional mokoro (dugout canoe). The Okavango-born guide and poler will reveal the wiles and secrets of living in the Delta while you spot tiny frogs and colourful waterbirds. This activity is water-level dependent.

Boating
Water-level dependent, boating is another idyllic form of viewing water-based wildlife. Hippo and crocodile are often seen on these adventures, and sometimes even the elusive sitatunga.

Fishing
Fishing with a limited supply of basic equipment is on offer seasonally on a catch-and-release basis. Please note that fishing takes place in waters outside of the Moremi since fishing is not allowed within the Game Reserve.
