Beneath a canopy of ancient trees alongside the lush, wildlife-strewn floodplains of Botswana’s Moremi Game Reserve hides the extraordinary 12-suite oasis Xigera Safari Lodge. Built by the renowned Tollman family, the lodge emanates opulence. While the pristine suites intertwine ryokan-like simplicity with a classic lodge, as they are camouflaged against the landscape – meaning no distractions from the chattering birds and meandering mammals – the premises itself brims with colour. Specially curated artworks from South African artists and blacksmiths feature throughout, in addition to one-of-a-kind Moroccan rugs, mammoth lanterns and a treasure chest of African trinkets. Sustainability here is also at the forefront, as 95% of the property is solar powered. All this combine into a sumptuous and inspired journey into the African bush.
