Over Xugana Island Lodge
De Xugana Island Lodge bestaat uit chalets, die met riet zijn bedekt. Naast een open lounge en een bar, beschikt de lodge ook over een klein zwembad in een mooie tuin midden op het eilandje, een prettige plek om te ontspannen. U kunt onder begeleiding van een ervaren ranger verschillende safari-activiteiten in de omgeving van de lodge ondernemen, zoals tochten per mokoro (traditionele kano) of motorboot. Omdat de lodge zo kleinschalig is worden de maaltijden meestal samen met de andere gasten gebruikt. Na het diner kunt u onder de Afrikaanse sterrenhemel uitkijken op de lagune en nagenieten van de belevenissen van de dag. Tijdens uw verblijf zijn alle maaltijden, twee safari-activiteiten per etmaal en alle lokale drankjes inbegrepen.

De Okavango Delta is een absolute 'must see' tijdens uw reis door Botswana. In de delta leven enorm veel dieren. Okavango vormt zonder twijfel een van de laatste vrijwel ongerepte natuurgebieden ter wereld.
Van het Angolese hoogland stroomt de Okavango-rivier zuidwaarts, via het noorden van Namibië naar de vlakten van Noord-Botswana. Hier loopt het water uit over de Kalahariwoestijn en vormt het de grootste inlandige delta van de wereld: een labyrint van duizenden grote en kleine stromen en kreken, die kleine eilandjes omringen.
De Okavango Delta is 15.000 km² groot en bestaat uit uitgestrekte gebieden met papyrusriet, lage vlakke eilandjes bedekt met bomen, kristalheldere waterwegen en palmen.

A superb lodge to visit especially if you are a bird lover. I was almost converted when the Swiss couple we shared the safaris with were very much into birds. Congratulations to our guide Chillie B for being up to the mark to identify the birds as well, if not better, than the client. The highlight was the delight when we happened upon a Pels Fishing Owl at the end of our walking Safari. Well spotted Chillie B! Also the trip to the Hippo Pool and the nesting area was pretty cool.
"Tranquility by the water"
13-07-2017
Very nice place, small and intimate by the water. True relaxation - we did the boat drives, the mokoro (dug out boat) and the walking safari and enjoyed them all. As part of the welcoming, the guides explain a bit about the country, the Okavango delta and the people. It was very interesting and informative introduction.Our guide Slade made efforts to get the most out of the activities - we saw a special owl, frogs and variety of birds.
Lovely little place. We stayed for 2 nights and we managed to do all the activities the place has to offer.
"such a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the wildlife"

Smaller than many other lodges, there are just 8 rooms so it was very intimate. The staff were very attentive and friendly, they made us feel so welcome and all of them learnt our names very quickly. The location is superb. I felt really relaxed here and really enjoyed the boat trips, weaving our way along the narrow channels encountering so much wildlife along the way. What made it a particularly special experience was the guide, Allen, whose knowledge of the wildlife and plant life was superb. I would also like to thank another of the guides Promise who is a skilled tracker and told us a great deal about his family and tribe and their customs; such a happy and joyful man. It was a short visit but we made some good friends and were sorry to have to leave.
"Great & ideal for a solo traveller"
02-07-2017
I spent 2 nights at the end of June 2017 & it was SO SO nice and pleasant. No WiFi or phones, but who cares. the Team are super nice and made me, as a solo traveller feel at home and no stigma that I was on my own, the staff knew all the guests names, there were no kids when I was there and the mix of people was great, albeit only up to approx. 16 people.Which again made the place more personable and care to detail was exceptional. The guides were always there to accommodate, if we changed our mind about a boat cruise and wanted a walking safari they would change and take us somewhere we hadn't been. It was just so nice, I was sad to leave to move to another camp.
"A 'no wi-fi or phone signal' haven !"

Four of us - two couples - spent three days/nights here at the end of May. it was a little rustic/basic in terms of accommodation (no electricity during the night) but in all honesty, that added to the charm and feeling of getting away from it all.
The staff are fantastic - our guide and tracker (Allen and Promise) were fun, informative, professional and friendly - can't speak highly enough.
The safaris - mainly by boat (although we did use Mokoros and walking) - along the 'Hippo Highways' were fantastic - stopping every time the eagle eyed hosts spotted something of interest o or we had a question.
One afternoon we asked if we could try fishing - Allen supplied us with four rods, bait and took us us too a lagoon where we had a fantastic time catching 18 fish between us - five of which we brought back and the chef cleaned and cooked for the evening. As we were in our boat, just as the sun was going down, a male elephant came out of the reeds and crossed the lagoon right next to us - simply magical.
