Xugana Island Lodge - Location

The Xugana Lagoon is widely accepted as being the most spectacular permanent water site in the entire Okavango Delta, which in the midst of the Kalahari sands, is Africa's largest and most awe-inspiring oasis. The Okavango River, rises in the highlands of Angola and never reaches the sea; instead its immense waters empty over the sands of the Kalahari. Here the great desert thirst is quenched in a wilderness of fresh water lagoons, channels and islands.

Xugana Island Lodge is situated on a private concession and takes full advantage of this magnificent site. An open boma and al fresco dining area overlooks the expanse of pristine water that makes up the permanent Delta. The lounge, bar and dining areas are set back under the Ebony and African Mangosteen tree canopy in open sided thatched structures. The swimming pool, located within the mature gardens in the center of the island, is a perfect place to relax.

Xugana Island Lodge -Accommodation

Xugana is a rustic lodge  which accommodates 16 guests in large raised reed and thatch chalets situated on a shaded fringe island, each with a lagoon view through the lagoon-side vegetation. The tastefully decorated “Mesasas” have twin or double beds, en-suite facilities, walk-in showers, ceiling fan and a private deck, ideal for bird watching.

Xugana Island Lodge - Activities

Exploring the Delta by motorboat or canoe (mokoro), combined with walking on surrounding islands in the concession, gives guests the chance to experience a classic Delta safari.

Bird-watching opportunities are outstanding, and fishing for bream and tiger fish is also offered as an activity at the lodge.
