WELCOME TO

Xugana Island Lodge

OKAVANGO DELTA

Overview

Some would argue that Xugana Island Lodge has the most spectacular setting for a permanent water camp in the Delta. It is set in its own private concession on an island overlooking the waters of the Xugana Lagoon.

Rooms

Guests stay in one of the eight lagoon-facing, reed and thatched Luxury Safari chalets. Each one has glass doors and private viewing decks overlooking the lagoon and is en-suite with a lagoon-facing shower, double hand basin and flush toilet. Other amenities include a tea and coffee station, dressing gown, safe for valuables and a torch.

Facilities

There is a pool located in the gardens at the centre of the island, and the lounge, bar and dining areas are set under the picturesque ebony and African mangosteen trees with large decks to maximise the views over the Delta.

The camp’s activities focus on the water and include exploring the Delta by motorboat or at a more leisurely pace on a traditional mokoro (dugout canoe). Guided nature walks take place on the surrounding islands and during season catch and release fishing is offered as an additional activity.

"The holiday was absolutely fantastic. Saw all the big 5 except rhinos.The accommodation was top class (lovely big beds), the people who staffed it were so friendly, guides were so knowledgeable, you really felt they wanted you to visit their country. We did a helicopter tour over Victoria falls, which were awe inspiring - another highlight of the holiday. All the transfers were smooth and efficient and this reduced any stress in the holiday, loved the small plane hops between camps in Botswana. We had an unforgettable holiday and will be boring our friends and family with it for months. Thanks for your help in organising this wonderful holiday. "

"Back home after another fabulous holiday. The lodges were all of the same high standard of cleanliness, food quality and presentation with all members of staff helpful, friendly and as immaculately turned out as we remember from 4 years ago. The guides were all brilliant with their knowledge, enthusiasm and great sense of humour. We did a 4 hour game walk-brilliant! Again a great holiday - may well return in a few years!!"

We had a fabulous trip staying at 3 lodges in Botswana. My late husband and I were keen bird watchers and I donated his binoculars to one of the lodges there, for which they were very appreciative. Thank you for everything you did.
