A luxury safari lodge in Botswana's Okavango Delta

The story of Xigera Safari Lodge is one of renewal. Of rebirth and family legacy, and of the pioneering spirit that drives us to seek out Africa’s wild spaces. The same spirit that inspired this remarkable reimagining, perhaps a complete reinvention, of an Okavango Delta safari. This is Xigera (pronounced ‘kee-jera’), named for the Pied Kingfisher that makes its home amid the watery channels of Botswana’s Moremi Game Reserve. Every aspect is handcrafted to beguile our guests’ senses and stir their souls – from the evocative interiors to one-of-a-kind encounters. But Xigera is equally a line in the sand. A raising of the bar. A bold statement in the realm of luxury safaris in Botswana, and an Okavango Delta safari experience like no other.

From Cape Town

Take any road signposted to the airport, which will become the N2 highway. Stay on the N2, past the airport, through Somerset West and over Sir Lowry’s Pass. Stay on the N2 until you arrive at Bot River and the signpost for Hermanus, where you turn off and follow the R43. Shortly after Onrus, but before you enter the town of Hermanus, turn left at the traffic lights onto the R320, and follow Valley Road for a few kilometres. The gates to the Bouchard Finlayson estate will be on your right.

Address: Bouchard Finlayson, R320 Road, Hermanus 7200, South Africa
