OUR SUITE AT A GLANCE

The Family Suite offers a perfect blend of spaces for spending time together and relaxing in privacy.

The Suite showcases two bedrooms and can accommodate four guests. Each bedroom includes dedicated en-suite bathroom facilities, a dressing area and outdoor shower, allowing parents and children to enjoy their own private space on safari.

Air-conditioned throughout, the spacious two-bedroom Xigera Family Suite is also ideal for couples travelling together.

These two spacious rooms share a beautiful lounge area that opens onto a wide deck overlooking the Okavango Delta. Settle in on the daybed for a lazy afternoon of reading, relaxing and reflecting on all that you have experienced as a family.

We are passionate about helping children to learn about Africa, wildlife and local communities, with a curated programme of child-friendly activities, from customised age-appropriate wilderness adventures, to thoughtful turndown treats and menus.
