Something out of the ordinary is actually quite common in the pages of luxury living magazines; it’s typically the extraordinary that makes it into the features section of any luxury lifestyle publication that promises its readers to bring them the best the world has to offer. And there is perhaps no better example of just that than the Xigera Safari Lodge, located in the Okavango Delta, Botswana. A true getaway amidst the lush, enveloping safari, Xigera is a luxury lifestyle magazine’s dream with an extensive list of amenities, robust experiential offerings, and ambiance that will redefine how to live luxury lifestyle.
A designated World Heritage Site, the Okavango Delta’s varied geography includes forests, floodplains, grasslands, and wetlands. Visitors to Xigera Safari Lodge are unlikely to find such a varied and ancient landscape anywhere else. Tucked away from civilization, Xigera transports visitors to another realm under the trees, offering 12 uniquely designed suites as well as two offerings for families in the aptly named Family Suites. Though it is far removed from modernity in terms of geography, visitors are treated to all the expected modern conveniences, powered by the lodge’s commitment to sustainability and minimal impact on the surrounding world treasure. Towards this end, solar panels provide the lodge with power and materials are sustainably sourced and designed. Underpinning the lodge’s aesthetic is a nod towards art and design elements from across Africa itself and features works from over 80 different artists.

As for the amenities themselves, Xigera offers a range of the expected and, again, the unexpected with the prerequisite mindfulness spa and lounge as well as a novel stargazing and storytelling experience around a fire pit. A pool, waterside lounge, and outer decks dotted with woven nests, and a culinary experience that delivers the best the region has to offer round out some of the more spectacular offerings in this area.

For visitors that truly want to have it all to themselves while also posting bragging rights about their exotic travels to their friends, the Baobab Treehouse serves up what can only be described as the most dynamic, unique accommodations we’ve ever covered. A sculptural structure built in the shape of a tree, the Baobab Treehouse promises visitors the Okavango in its purest, most unobstructed form with architectural themes such as open, airy spaces and panoramic views throughout. This openness is meant to instill wonder and curiosity in guests as well as to show them an unfiltered glimpse of the Okavango Delta’s beauty.

The customization doesn’t end there, however, and the Baobab Treehouse is not just another more “exclusive” room option; indeed, the entire experience is built from the ground up and tailored to each guest’s unique needs. Ideal for the traveler that wants a true escape from the hustle of the modern world, the Xigera Safari Lodge offers a range of dynamic experiences that offer the comfort of the ordinary, the need for the extraordinary, and the desire luxury travelers have for something simply out of this world.
