Belmond Eagle Island Lodge detail

Enjoy a unique Okavango Delta safari at Belmond Eagle Island Camp, an exclusive water-based camp situated on the island of Xaxaba, where ilala palms line the lagoon and winding delta waterways. The camp provides a tranquil and romantic setting, making it the ideal honeymoon getaway.

Belmond Eagle Island Camp hosts a diverse wildlife population and is home to almost 400 different bird species. Experience these excellent game-viewing opportunities on guided bush walks, traditional mokoro (dug-out canoe) safaris, boat safaris when water levels allow, and even spectacular helicopter safaris over the Delta's winding waterways.

The 12 deluxe tented rooms have oversized beds with views of the wetlands, private plunge pools, reading nooks, and both indoor and outdoor showers. The communal areas include the romantic Fish Eagle Bar, another 'artisan-style' bar, and a traditional pizza oven that delivers arguably the best pizzas in the Delta.

Each of the air-conditioned tents is equipped to provide a luxurious retreat beneath traditional African thatch.

In addition, all rooms have cozy reading nooks and walk-in closets.
