Camp Location
Botswana's Okavango Delta,
Camp Description
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 gamedrives are offered, offering guests the oppor tunity to fur ther 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.
