Xigera Safari Lodge offers just 12 beautiful suites and an exceptional Baobab Treehouse, each resting effortlessly in this wild landscape. Amid this remarkable setting, Xigera\u2019s design aesthetic is wholeheartedly dedicated to celebrating African art, design and creativity. Each piece has been handcrafted and inspired by the incredible natural surroundings; every experience can be tailor made to guests\u2019 wishes\u2026 an entirely new imagining of the African bush.<\/p>\n

Conceptualised by Toni Tollman, Philip Fourie and Anton de Kock \u2013 in collaboration with award-winning South African gallery Southern Guild \u2013 the Xigera Design Collection is breathtaking in both its scope and bold vision.<\/p>\n
