WHEN TO VISIT

CONSERVATION & COMMUNITY

University of Botswana Leopard Citizen Science Project
In partnership with Treadright, guests and guides will contribute sightings of leopards to this research project

Wild Entrust Africa
Working with Treadright to help the villagers of Habu mitigate human-wildlife conflict and reduce hunting for bushmeat through a Community Coexistence Program

Green operations
A large photovoltaic farm harnesses solar power and onsite composting reduces waste. Compost is sent to Habu for use in vegetable gardens. Waste from kitchen fat traps is converted into manure in Maun and wastewater is treated in an above-ground plant for irrigation. A reverse osmosis system purifies water for drinking, thermodynamic geysers provide hot water and SolarView tinted glass makes the air conditioning more efficient

OVERVIEW

There is irony in this lodge being called Xigera; a xigera is a pied kingfisher but there’s nothing black and white about this flamboyant and colourful accommodation in Moremi Game Reserve. Bursting with art and creativity, it is full of bespoke furniture, sculptures, art and textiles designed and made by top African artisans. Every suite is different and the expansive main areas have extravagant hues and a plethora of different textures.

Outside, the multi-storey Baobab Treehouse is a beacon, taking your sleepout to another level. Regardless of the meal – picnic, pizza or canapes – the food is lovingly plated and paired with a vintage from the cellar. The suites even have televisions and room service if you feel like a quiet night in!
