Location
The camp is situated on `Paradise Island`
within the Moremi
Wildlife Reserve, close to its western
boundary. Xigera is in an area which has permanent
water all year round - yet there are lots
of large islands in the area which hold good
concentrations of animals. It is the perfect
land and water activity camp - in fact it
is one of the only Okavango camps which offers
game drives, foot safaris, mokoros and boating
trips. Due to good water levels prevailing,
the camp is open all year round. Xigera has
been in existence since mid 1980, in one of
the most beautiful parts of the Okavango.
Activities
Fly-In, Safari Lodge, Wildlife, Game Drives,
Safari, Camping, Walking /Hiking, Fishing,
Photography, Birding, Game Cruise
Attractions
The game drives regularly see Lion, Elephant,
Lechwe, and even Leopard. The wooden foot
bridge, which connects this island to the
next, is often used by Lion and Leopard to
move between islands. Many a guest has enjoyed
Lion viewing from the dining room. Besides
all the big game, Xigera has excellent
birding. Pels Fishing Owl, Wattled Crane,
Slaty Egret, Rufuous Bellied Heron, Swamp
Boubou and a host of Eagles, Vultures and
Raptors will keep the bird lover out of mischief.
The rare Sitatunga antelope are at their highest
density in this area. Stalking Sitatunga silently
by mokoro is an experience never to be forgotten.
Facilities
The camp takes a maximum of 16 guests in comfortably
furnished tented rooms, with en-suite bathrooms.
The rooms are under a shading grove and look
through to the river flowing past the camp.
Meals are enjoyed in the dining room, which
along with the lounge area, are all under
canvas. There is no swimming pool - the clean
flowing river next to the camp is Xigera`s
``pool``.
Additional Information
Xigera has something for everyone, in an area
where there are no other Moremi camps or lodges.
The quiet waterways offer perfect mokoro opportunities
- complete with good game viewing. To get
the best wildlife experience, we suggest you
mix your activities and enjoy the drives,
the walks, the mokoroing and boating.
