Inside the park
Safari company
The Delta's design statement: a contemporary lodge assembled as a showcase of African art and craft, set in the watery west of the reserve. A transparency note: Xigera was long associated with the Red Carnation group, but that link no longer appears on either company's materials and we could not verify current ownership, so we list it under its own name.

What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Moremi Game Reserve charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entryP270 for non-residents, roughly $20.
- $20per person, per day
- VehicleP75 a day for a foreign-registered vehicle, roughly $6.
- $6per vehicle, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $138 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.

Questions about Xigera Safari Lodge
Is Xigera good for families?
The record lists a family facility among Xigera's amenities, but its website could not be checked to confirm a minimum age or child policy. Capacity runs to about 22 to 24 guests across 12 suites, so ask the operator directly what applies to children before booking.
Can you self-drive to Xigera?
No. Xigera sits in the watery western part of Moremi and is fly-in only, with no public road access. The operator's website could not be checked for the airstrip name or transfer time, so confirm these details when you book.
When is Xigera open?
The record's rate calendar suggests Xigera may close from January to April, but this is unconfirmed and the operator's own website could not be checked. Confirm current opening dates directly with the lodge before building a trip around this period.
What makes Xigera different from other Moremi lodges?
Xigera is built around work by more than 80 commissioned African artists, with a sleep-out platform called the Baobab Treehouse. It sits in the Delta's deep-water west, so boating and mokoro feature as much as game drives, unlike most camps elsewhere in the reserve.
