XUGANA ISLAND LODGE, OKAVANGO DELTA

WATER-BASED SAFARI

On an island overlooking the Xugana Lagoon, one of the Okavango’s most spectacular permanent water sites, this camp delivers an enchanting water-based safari.

Xugana Island Lodge takes full advantage of its enviable location, inviting guests to experience the region’s prolific wildlife both on land and water.

Lazy afternoons can be spent fishing for bream in one of the many surrounding waterways, or gliding along in a traditional mokoro canoe. The birding is outstanding, and nature walks are great for getting up close to animals like the rare red lechwe, especially when in the company of Xugana’s experienced guides.

The lodge itself is small, housing just 16 guests in raised reed-and-thatch chalets – each with a private viewing deck designed to drink in the glorious delta views. The lounge, bar and dining areas are open-sided and set back under a beautiful canopy of ebony and mangosteen trees. The swimming pool lies in mature gardens at the heart of the island, making it the perfect place to retreat to during the heat of the day.
