Belmond Eagle Island Lodge
Botswana
Eagle Island Lodge sits on Xaxaba Island in the Okavango Delta, surrounded by waterways and ilala palms. The setting shapes a safari that can cross land, water and air, with the balance of activities changing as the delta's water levels rise and fall. The island's name means 'island of tall trees'. Accommodation combines oversized king beds and handcrafted copper headboards with private decks and plunge pools. The lodge restaurant looks towards the delta, while Fish-Eagle Bar provides a separate place to pause with a drink. This is a small island lodge where the views and waterways remain part of the experience between guided excursions.
