Accommodation - Adventurer Campsite

we utilise a spacious walk-in dome tent.

The comfortable interior has canvas
bedrolls, crisp cotton sheets and duvets
set out on GI stretchers, complemented
with old-fashioned tin finishes, recreating
a sense of simple style under canvas.

Shared toilets and bucket shower
enclosures open to the sky and inviting
dining areas offer an atmosphere of
understated, serviced camping.

These camps are erected prior to our
guests' arrival.

This, coupled with the wildlife-rich areas
visited and the easy mobility of the camps,
allow us to explore the most remote areas of the subcontinent.

Lively campfires, camps lit by hurricane
lanterns and a range of exciting and diverse
activities, creating a pure wilderness camping experience with a warm atmosphere and camaraderie.

Xigera Camp

Nestled in a magnificent riverine forest, Xigera consists of 10 luxuriously furnished tented rooms with en-suite facilities and outdoor shower.

Each room is raised off the ground on a wooden deck offering superb views of the seasonal floodplain and waterhole.

Meals and drinks are enjoyed under the thatch of the raised lounge, pub and dining area overlooking a permanently flowing channel.

A traditional boma offers alternative dining under the African stars.

Wooden walkways wind through the forest connecting the rooms to the main area.

There is a plunge pool for cooling off and
relaxation

Xigera Camp - Okavango Delta

Xigera Camp is a luxury tented camp situated in
the heart of the Okavango Delta. It has something for everyone, in an area where there are no other Moremi camps and where permanent water all year round allows for a variety of activities.

Enjoy a true Delta experience while you sit back in a mokoro (dugout canoe) and silently glide through the tranquil Okavango waterways or watch the sunset and birds gliding home to roost from a motorboat on the Xigera Lagoon.
The more adventurous can enjoy a scenic nature walk.

Birding in the area is excellent, with Pel's Fishing-Owl, Slaty Egret, Wattled Crane, African Skimmers and a host of eagles, vultures, raptors and kingfishers to be found.

The area has the highest density of the rare sitatunga antelope found anywhere in the Okavango Delta.
