1. Xigera Safari Lodge, Botswana
Opening: Summer 2020
Set to be one of Botswana’s most luxurious safari lodges, Xigera is the latest addition to Red Carnation Hotels, which owns The Twelve Apostles and Bushmans Kloof in South Africa, among other exceptional properties around the world.
The concept behind Xigera is a new era of safari lodges, which blends bespoke safari experience with African design and fine art. Each of the 12 individually designed suites will float delicately above the water and showcase handmade crafts and artwork by talented African artists, elevating the guest experience with a “living gallery” in the African bush.
