A BARBECUE BENEATH THE STARS
"There’s something very special about eating outdoors by an open fire, under the night sky."
Dine amid the glow of hanging lanterns and the crackle of the fire in this alfresco treat. Anticipate tender grilled meats hot off the barbecue, with all the trimmings and a refreshing chilled wine or beer.
THE FISH-EAGLE BAR
Recline in our cosy lodge and listen out for the whistle of the bar’s namesake—or step outside into the glow of the campfire for a nightcap with friends. There is no better place to experience the sunset than from Fish-Eagle Bar. Light snacks and refreshing drinks are available throughout the day as you take in the views across the Delta. You can also arrange for an intimate private dinner in this romantic venue.
TENTED ROOMS
Just 12 large, light-flooded tented rooms make up the total accommodation of this intimate retreat. Each is carefully positioned to afford total privacy—and unspoiled Botswana vistas.
Shelter from the midday heat for a cool siesta, or soak in your private plunge pool. Take to the terrace for a front row seat and watch the theatre of the savannah unfold.
Flooded with light by day, the safari accommodation is indulgently cosy at night. Unwind in the soothing grey interior, punctuated by flashes of deep gold. Or stretch out on the oversized bed, framed by a stunning copper headboard. Best of all, each tented room boasts its own plunge pool and private deck—both perfect for soaking up the scenery.

FIRST LIGHT
Discover the magic of a new day and explore the Okavango Delta as the animal and birdlife first wake up. Head out before dawn by mokoro, encountering swooping African fish eagles and basking crocodiles. Or take to the sky in a helicopter to spot elephants, buffalo and impalas moving across the plains. You will be equipped with Leica Trinovid 8x42 HD binoculars to see the wildlife with incredible clarity. Or for a truly exceptional experience, book a private guided tour with Leica global ambassador and expert wildlife photographer Marc Stickler.
SIGNATURE HELICOPTER SAFARIS
Helicopter flights over Botswana are one of life’s big adventures. Experience the Okavango Delta as you have never seen it before. Spot remote, inaccessible lakes and islands as well as an abundance of wildlife from the sky.
HORSEBACK AND HELICOPTER SAFARI
A first in Northern Botswana, this exhilarating safari begins at first light with a 10-minute helicopter flight. Then saddle up for a guided horseback ride through the delta. Move quietly past wild dog, elephant, buffalo, hippo and zebra in their natural habitat. Additional charges apply, and horse riding experience is essential.
MOKORO CANOE SAFARI
Glide silently on a traditional dugout canoe, a mode of transport used by locals for centuries. Explore the shallow, clear waters, drifting past brilliant waterlilies and papyrus grasses, reaching areas inaccessible by boat. Witness brightly coloured frogs, kingfishers, dragonflies or elephants feasting on the reeds.
MOTORISED BOATING AND BARGE CRUISES
The chance to explore open waters is a unique feature of an Okavango Delta safari. Cover more ground and delve deeper into the landscape, with a chance to spot an even greater range of wildlife. Embark on a sunset barge cruise for hypnotic views as you sip a sundowner. Available during the wet season, usually May to October.
VILLAGE LIFE
Visit neighbouring Nxhoga village for an authentic insight into the Botswana way of life. Learn about hut building, basket weaving and the fishing industry. Meet elders, chat with the children, and browse the small market, churches and bakery.
WALKING SAFARI
Let our experienced guides take you on a trek to experience the true spirit of Botswana. Spot amazing sights close-up, from dazzling insects and swarming termite mounts to animal tracks. These small, unexpected aspects of delta life often make the biggest impression.
BIRD WATCHING
People head to Eagle Island Lodge from all across the globe, purely to spot the region’s magnificent variety of birds. Over 400 species make for unrivalled viewing. Keep an eye out for the rare Pel’s fishing owl, endangered wattled crane and the majestic African fish eagle.
FISHING
The delta’s channels are rich with tilapia, while spotted and silver catfish can be found in the many lazy pools. African pike, infamous fighters, are a favourite snare. If you have never fished before, the Okavango Delta is the ultimate place to start. Please note: catch and release fishing only.
