Perched atop Xaxaba Island in the Okavango Delta, Belmond Eagle Island Lodge is a luxurious safari camp in Botswana. Each of its 12 tented suites is positioned atop raised platforms to ensure sweeping views across the surrounding floodplains. Private plunge pools and spacious decks come as standard, as do indulgent bathtubs.
Meals focus on locally sourced and seasonal produce, with campfire-side barbecues a highlight of any stay. Belmond Eagle Island Lodge prides itself on offering “slow safaris” that offer an alternative to the action-packed days of traditional safaris. Experiences include memorable game drives, guided canoe trips and cultural visits to the nearby village.
