Pelo Camp

Every aspect of Xigera is handcrafted to beguile guests’ senses and stir their souls – from the evocative interiors to one-of-a-kind wilderness encounters.

Inspired by Africa’s life-enhancing beauty, Xigera 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.

Wilderness Safaris is proud to market this Red Carnation Hotels property – rooted in a strong family history and devotion to unparalleled luxury in service.

• Explore the Channels – Boat excursions allow for good wildlife viewing in the more distant channels of the Delta. Try and spot red lechwe and elephant; you may even catch a glimpse of spotted-necked otter.
• Experience a Mokoro Ride – The emphasis at Pelo is on mokoro excursions – a smooth, silent way to seamlessly connect both with the myriad features of the Okavango Delta and the rich heritage of the region’s people.
• Cast Your Line – Catch-and-release fishing with a limited supply of basic equipment (spinner rods and a small range of lures) is on offer seasonally.
• Wilderness Walks – Take a walk on a low, sandy island and learn about the sustainable way of life of the River Bushman people.
