Eagle Island Lodge, a Belmond Safari, Botswana

Standing on its own island

EAGLE ISLAND LODGE, A BELMOND SAFARI, BOTSWANA

SPLENDID ISLAND CAMP

Birds and big game are on the cards at this splendid island camp. There are 12 safari tents each with a viewing platform over the beautiful lagoon.

Standing on its own island, in the depths of the Okavango, Belmond Eagle Island Camp is true to its name.

It teems with birdlife: from fish eagles to malachite kingfisher, from Pel’s fishing owl to rare wattled cranes – a conservative estimate puts over 400 land and aquatic species at Eagle Island Camp’s door.

As well as birds, you’re very likely to see big game such as browsing elephants and giraffe, from the comfort of your hammock. Your luxurious thatched tent stands on stilts at the edge of a lagoon – its raised veranda becoming an excellent platform from which to view game. In between incredible water safaris and drives, that is.
