Overview

Enjoy a unique Okavango Delta safari at Belmond Eagle Island Camp, an exclusive water-based camp situated on the island of Xaxaba, where illala 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 over-sized 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 up arguably the best pizzas in the Delta.

"We were extremely lucky at Khwai River Lodge to see two leopards that had been chased up a tree by a pack of wild dogs. After about 20 minutes, they came back down and passed about 1 metre from my side of the open-sided safari vehicle. Was amazing."
