Moremi Game Reserve, NG28 Xigera Camp
Okavango Delta,
Botswana
Xigera Safari Lodge is situated in the western Moremi Game Reserve in Botswana's Okavango Delta. This pristine wetland paradise is home to a great variety of wildlife including leopard and lion; elephant, buffalo and hippo; and giraffe, lechwe, reedbuck and sitatunga.
