Xugana Island Lodge
Overlooking a deep lagoon in the game-rich Shinde Concession, Xugana Island Lodge boasts the most impressive permanent water site in the Okavango Delta. It is one of only a handful of camps that can offer water activities throughout the year, as well as adventure-fueled game drives and walking safaris. On its doorstep is a maze of lagoons and channels, with hippos often observed from the lodge itself.
Xugana Island Lodge features eight raised, reed, and thatch chalets, which offer all the comforts you need and plenty of charm. An open boma and alfresco dining area are the focus of the main lodge, which is framed by a canopy of ebony and mangosteen trees. Aside from motorboat and canoe safaris, Xugana Island Lodge is renowned for its birdwatching and offers catch-and-release fishing expeditions for bream and tigerfish.

Dining Experience
The dining service is characterized by its warm and genuine approach, perfectly enhancing the culinary offerings and an impressive selection of South African wines. The kitchen presents a harmonious blend of delectable local flavors and international cuisine, all of which are presented in either an open-air boma or the alfresco dining section. Both of these areas are partially enclosed, nestled beneath the grand mahogany and mangosteen trees of the island, each providing distinct yet equally stunning vistas over the pristine waters of the Okavango Delta.
For a truly romantic experience, we highly recommend indulging in a candlelit dinner for two on the floating deck. This unique setting atop the lagoon, accompanied by the sparkling stars above, creates an unforgettable dining experience.
