Just 12 suites (their design inspired by the flight of the Pel’s fishing owl) sit suspended on stilts and connected by raised wooden walkways under the shade of ancient trees. Each has its own spacious deck leading to a comfortable daybed with views over the pristine floodplains. The indoor and outdoor space covers a vast 1,980 sqft and comprises a lounge, bedroom, bathroom and dressing area as well as your private deck. All are exquisitely decorated with handcrafted materials and fittings in warm neutral tones chosen to compliment the natural environment. An astonishing 105 members of staff look after just 24 guests, making every experience seamless. This is safari at its finest.
While wildlife viewing is the primary reason to be here, Xigera spares nothing in providing a tranquil haven for soothing spa treatments and massages while the in-house yoga instructor offers daily sunrise and sunset practice as well as private sessions for mindfulness and meditation.
Aesthetes will appreciate the thoughtful interior design, with pieces commissioned from Cape Town Gallery, Southern Guild. Look out for hand carved tables and chairs by Adam Birch, ingenious woven nest seats by Porky Hefer and a spectacular firepit sculpture by blacksmith-artist Conrad Hicks. Xigera curates contemporary African design at its finest.
