What to Expect

The Okavango Delta is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa — a vast inland water system that floods into the Kalahari Desert to create one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth. Xigera Safari Lodge sits on Chief's Island in the heart of the Delta, accessible only by light aircraft, in a position that places you at the epicentre of the finest wildlife concentration in Botswana. This is Botswana's low-volume, high-impact safari philosophy at its most pure — vast wilderness, exclusive access, and a lodge experience that has won every award the industry offers.
