About us

Set on remote Xaxaba Island, on the passage routes of many species, our Lodge has long been the ideal base from which to explore the Okavango Delta’s network of waterways and islands. Recently completely re-imagined, its design captures the spirit of the delta, blending cleverly into the landscape while offering super-stylish facilities and contemporary comforts. The wonders of nature take centre stage. A natural, earthy palette emphasises the delta’s dazzling hues; views of the mesmerising landscape grace every room. Just like the water channels that weave their way through the grasslands, the design flows through the Lodge. Delightful touches, such as books about early explorers, artists’ easels and sketchbooks, hint at the days of pioneering adventure; others take inspiration from the wildlife – a swarm of metal butterflies hovers near the ceiling, wall textures echo elephant skin. Your days promise to be filled with awe-inspiring adventures that are tailored to the season. When the delta’s flooded, usually between May and October, the water wonderland comes to life and is best explored by boat. In the drier months, activities include nature walks, village visits and an exhilarating horseback and helicopter safari. As night falls, enjoy a sundowner in the bar, listening out for the fish eagle’s distinct whistle. Or gather round the campfire for barbecued treats and the chance to swap stories with your fellow travellers.

Fishing
Recreation
The delta’s channels are rich with tilapia, while spotted and silver catfish can be found in the many lazy pools. African pike, infamous fighters, are a favourite snare. If you have never fished before, the Okavango Delta is the ultimate place to start. Please note: catch and release fishing only.
Bird Watching
Recreation
People head to Eagle Island Lodge from all across the globe, purely to spot the region’s magnificent variety of birds. Over 400 species make for unrivalled viewing. Keep an eye out for the rare Pel’s fishing owl, endangered wattled crane and the majestic African fish eagle.
Walking Safari
Recreation
Let our experienced guides take you on a trek to experience the true spirit of Botswana. Spot amazing sights close-up, from dazzling insects and swarming termite mounts to animal tracks. These small, unexpected aspects of delta life often make the biggest impression.
Village Life
Recreation
Visit neighbouring Nxhoga village for an authentic insight into the Botswana way of life. Learn about hut building, basket weaving and the fishing industry. Meet elders, chat with the children, and browse the small market, churches and bakery.
Motorised Boating and Barge Cruises
Recreation
The chance to explore open waters is a unique feature of an Okavango Delta safari. Cover more ground and delve deeper into the landscape, with a chance to spot an even greater range of wildlife. Embark on a sunset barge cruise for hypnotic views as you sip a sundowner. Available during the wet season, usually May to October.
Mokoro Canoe Safari
Recreation
Glide silently on a traditional dugout canoe, a mode of transport used by locals for centuries. Explore the shallow, clear waters, drifting past brilliant waterlilies and papyrus grasses, reaching areas inaccessible by boat. Witness brightly coloured frogs, kingfishers, dragonflies or elephants feasting on the reeds.
Horseback and Helicopter Safari
Recreation
A first in Northern Botswana, this exhilarating safari begins at first light with a 10-minute helicopter flight. Then saddle up for a guided horseback ride through the delta. Move quietly past wild dog, elephant, buffalo, hippo and zebra in their natural habitat. Additional charges apply, and horse riding experience is essential.
Helicopter Safari
Recreation
Helicopter flights over Botswana are one of life’s big adventures. Experience the Okavango Delta as you have never seen it before. Spot remote, inaccessible lakes and islands as well as an abundance of wildlife from the sky. Additional charges apply.
First Light
Recreation
Discover the magic of a new day and explore the Okavango Delta as the animal and birdlife first wake up. Head out before dawn by mokoro, encountering swooping African fish eagles and basking crocodiles. Or take to the sky in a helicopter to spot elephants, buffalo and impalas moving across the plains. You will be equipped with Leica Trinovid 8x42 HD binoculars to see the wildlife with incredible clarity. Or for a truly exceptional experience, book a private guided tour with Leica global ambassador and expert wildlife photographer Marc Stickler. Tours by Marc Stickler must be booked in advance and additional charges apply.
