Eagle Island Lodge

Immersive delta sanctuary.

Set on Xaxaba Island in Botswana’s Okavango Delta, Eagle Island Lodge offers a water-focused safari stay with tented accommodations, open-air dining, helicopter adventures, mokoro rides, and wildlife encounters across seasonal floodplains and dry savannah.

Insider Tip

Visit Elephant Havens, a nonprofit that rescues and hand-rears orphaned baby elephants. The experience includes a scenic helicopter flight, time with the elephants and handlers, and a donation to the organization.

Where You’re Staying

Deluxe Tented Rooms feature soothing gray interiors, deep gold accents, oversized beds, copper headboards, stocked mini-bars, air conditioning, and en-suite bathrooms with separate tubs and showers. Each room includes a private deck, walled outdoor shower, and plunge pool.

Where to Dine

The Restaurant embraces open-air dining with locally sourced produce and views across the Delta. Enjoy alfresco campfire feasts, bush dining, picnics, or light snacks at The Fish-Eagle Bar, where sundowners are served before dinner.

Where to Relax

Unwind in the Wellness Pod with restorative treatments, cool off in your private plunge pool, or settle onto your deck overlooking the Delta. The Fish-Eagle Bar and fire pit offer relaxed gathering spots for sundowners, stargazing, and quiet evenings after safari outings.

What to Do

Set out on day or night game drives, glide through shallow waters by mokoro, or join a walking safari with experienced guides. Seasonal boating, barge cruises, bird watching, catch-and-release fishing, and the Village Life tour add more ways to experience the Okavango Delta.
