Xigera is Red Carnation Hotels' love letter to the magic of the African bush. Every aspect is handcrafted to beguile guests' senses and stir their souls - from the evocative interiors to one-of-a-kind encounters. Transformed by Africa's life-enhancing beauty, it is a story of remarkable 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. The culmination of a lifelong dream of the Tollman family, drawing on six decades of devotion to unparalleled luxury in service.

A landlocked country in Southern Africa, Botswana, officially the Republic of Botswana (Setswana: Lefatshe la Botswana), is mostly flat, with the Kalahari Desert covering 70 percent of its land. The magnificent Okavango Delta runs through the country, offering an abundance of wildlife and natural beauty, and making Botswana the perfect visit for those seeking game drives and serene scenes.
