From Johannesburg, you will fly to Eagle Island Lodge in the Okavango Delta. You will arrive to the warmest of welcomes where you will settle in and soak up the beauty of the lodge and scenery.

Your luxury tented room is equipped with a daybed, desk, fully-stocked minibar and discreet air conditioning. An en-suite bathroom features a walled outdoor shower with a window overlooking the delta, a large indoor bathtub and walk-in wardrobe.

Stays are full board with breakfast, lunch and dinner plus drinks including alcohol, with some premium brands and imported champagnes at additional cost. Dining options range from light and healthy to indulgent, and special dietary requests can be catered for.

Typically your days will consist of early wake up with coffee and your morning game drive. Return to a bountiful breakfast and then enjoy all the activities on offer or just relax around the lodge cooling off at the pool while overlooking all that nature has to offer. Take a tour of the waterways by boat or traditional mokoro canoe.

Arriving to a warm welcome you will find a lodge with contemporary interiors that reflect the earthy tones of the wilderness, while eco-friendly design features keep you in harmony with the stunning landscape.

When you’re not out and about on safari, relax and unwind by the generous pool and take a cooling dip or enjoy a rejuvenating spa treatment at the spa or in the comfort of your room or private deck. For fabulous wildlife sightings on your doorstep, head to the permanent water hole in front of the lodge. Watch elephants gathering to drink and at night discover how the nocturnal sounds of Savute—roars, rumbles, chirps—are magically amplified.

Head out to the unique viewing hide at dusk or dawn, overlooking the watering hole, and see elephants, hyenas and cheetahs in their element.

In the evenings head to the Boma and gather round the campfire and exchange your day’s adventures, much as villagers do throughout Botswana. The evening often ends with everyone on their feet, dancing to rhythms handed down through generations.
