Eagle Island Camp
(Okavango Delta - Botswana)
Eagle Island Camp - A Botswana Safari Lodge
Hidden from the world, deep within Botswana's Okavango Delta,
is the paradise called Eagle Island Camp. Situated on the island of Xaxaba and
surrounded by Illala Palms, the camp overlooks a surrounding lagoon fed by the
tranquil waterways of the Delta.
The area offers exceptionally high quality wildlife viewing
with prolific birdlife and mammal sightings. It is also the site of one of the
most romantic bars in the world, the Fish Eagle Bar, as voted by the New York
Times. The camp offers a cool retreat from the African sun and is shaded by a
canopy of indigenous trees.
Eagle Island Camp at Xaxaba is one of the Delta's most
pristine natural locations, a region of myriad waterways, palm-treed islands and
vast flood plains. During the months of April through October the camp offers a
choice of game viewing by mokoro (traditional dugout canoe) or motorised boat
sundowner cruises in the surrounding lagoons. When water levels are low
(December through March), morning, afternoon and evening game drives are offered,
offering guests the opportunity to further explore the surrounding islands.
For the more intrepid, safari walks are offered all year around. Also offered at
Eagle Island are spectacular gameviewing flights over Botswana by private
helicopter, based at Eagle Island Camp. ‘Naturally Wild’ spa treatments are also
available for indulgent treatments in the privacy of your own tent.
