Belmond Eagle Island Lodge accommodation is the ultimate Okavango Delta water experience focused safari. A timeless luxury safari lodge with private plunge pools in the deluxe tented rooms.
Integral to the rich history of Botswana, the lodge was established in the 1900s. When intrepid explorers and crocodile hunters first flocked to the Okavango Delta. Since then, they’ve refined safari living to an art. Furthermore; Eagle Island Lodge is among the most environmentally friendly lodges in the country.
Set on the remote Xaxaba Island; Belmond Eagle Island Lodge’s design captures the spirit of the Delta. It blends cleverly into the landscape while offering super stylish facilities and contemporary comforts.
Belmond Eagle Island Lodge offers a vast range of activities including game drives all year. Private game drives are a truly intimate way to get closer to the country’s natural wonders. Usually between May and September; the delta floods. Then the water wonderland comes to life and it is best explored by boat. While in the drier months; activities include nature walks, village visits, and exhilarating horseback and helicopter safari.
