"Transformational"
None of us could have expected the experience we had throughout our stay. We knew it would be great, but Xigera has transformed what a guest experience could be for a luxury bush setting. The people, the service, the amenities, the design, all the products are transformational.

"Fantastic food"
The quality and range of the food on offer was fantastic. I loved the family dining style at mealtimes, especially dinner, as it allows one to experience, taste and enjoy different flavours and influences.

"A magical experience"
Arriving at the lodge via boat … the experience is brilliant and a magical way to “enter” this sanctuary. My Captain Brandon pointed out birds and other things of note along the way, so I felt as though I was getting a mini safari experience. Absolutely loved this way of starting my time at Xigera.

A word from our guests
“I don’t know how else to say it: it’s the best hotel we’ve ever stayed in anywhere. The food, service, rooms, guiding, and everything were just incredible.
The vision of this place is unique in the world in our view – kudos and gratitude to the Tollmans. And the level of the staff overall – starting with Ben, whose warm temperament, high expectations, and class trickle down to everyone – is just palpable. I love being around people who care about what they do so deeply, and these folks are clearly vested in the guest experience and the success of the place.
The headline is: we’d go back just for Xigera. Extraordinary all around.”

“The Okavango Delta is the gem of Botswana and Xigera is in the middle of the Okavango Delta. The waterways make this an exquisite and unique offering. It truly is paradise.”

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be changed forever – so deeply grateful for that. This “love letter to Africa” is truly a gift to the world as a whole. What a vision, what a legacy! The best of hospitality meets the best of safari.
