Xigera Safari Lodge Special – Free Nights at the Beach

Xigera Camp is situated deep within the Delta surrounded by water and lush vegetation. Nestled in riverine forest on the aptly-named Paradise Island, Xigera has ten luxuriously furnished tented rooms, a clever mix of wood and canvas, each with en-suite facilities and an outdoor shower. All are built on wooden decks, offering views of a seasonal floodplain and small lagoon. Meals and evening drinks are enjoyed in the lounge and dining area overlooking the permanently flowing channel or under the stars in a traditional African boma. The camp is finished off with a plunge pool and curio shop.

The concession’s year-round water allows for the Delta’s most sublime experiences – poling on a mokoro and motorboat outings. This is complemented by game drives in the area depending on flood levels. Xigera also offers some of the best birding opportunities in the Delta.

Nestled between the unspoiled natural beauty of the majestic Twelve Apostles mountain range in the Table Mountain National Park, and the Atlantic Ocean, the award-winning Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa is part of the family-run Red Carnation Hotel Collection.

Repeatedly voted as one of Cape Town’s best hotels, and a member of Leading Hotels of the World, this oasis offers 55 spaciously appointed guest rooms, 15 luxurious suites and Presidential Suite, each individually decorated; reflect a fresh, calming environment combining sophistication with simplicity, comfort and elegance.

Relax by one of the two pools or be pampered with a signature treatment at the outdoor Spa gazebo while watching the sun sink into the ocean.
