Xugana Island Lodge enquiries and reservations: xuganaisland@madbookings.com
Xugana Island LodgeXugana Island Lodge is situated on its own island, of the same name, in a private concession at the heart of the Okavango Delta, and neighbours the beautiful and diverse Moremi Game Reserve. The Lodge is, arguably, on one of the most spectacular permanent water sites in the delta, overlooking, as it does, the Xugana Lagoon. AccommodationXugana Island Lodge accommodates only 16 guests, in 8 large raised
reed and thatch chalets, situated on the shaded fringe of the Island,
each with a lagoon view through the shade giving vegetation. The
recently refurbished chalets have twin beds, en-suite facilities,
with walk in showers, overhead fans and a private deck. |

Activities
Other facilities at the Lodge include a Boma for al fresco dining, facing out over the lagoon. The lounge, bar and main dining areas are set back under the shady canopy of ebony and mangosteen trees, in open sided thatched buildings. The swimming pool, located amongst the mature gardens in the centre of the island, is a perfect place to relax in the heat of the day.
In terms of activities, guests can enjoy mokoro trips in eco-friendly dugout canoes, combined with walking on surrounding islands in the concession – an excellent way of exploring this diverse area. Birding opportunities are outstanding, particularly so from November to March, as many migrant species visit. Guests may also do some fishing for bream and tiger.
How to get there
Your arrival at Xugana Island Lodge will be arranged for you by co-ordinating a transfer by means of light aircraft charter. These air transfers operate from either Maun, Kasane (to which you will be transferred to by road, if travelling from Livingstone or Victoria Falls) or any of the other camps or lodges in Botswana.
These air transfers operate on a seat in charter basis which might include a stop at certain camp airstrips in Botswana to either drop off or pick up other travellers.
At your request, private air charters can be arranged on your behalf
which will take you directly to Xugana Island Lodge from any destination
in Botswana.
