Eagle Island Lodge: A Belmond Safari in the Okavango Delta
By Tully Luxury Travel | 08-12-2025 |
Set on an ilala-palm-fringed island in Botswana's UNESCO–listed Okavango Delta, Belmond Eagle Island Lodge offers a rare perspective on one of Africa’s most extraordinary wildernesses. Surrounded by seasonal floodplains, winding channels, and lush lagoons, it’s perfectly placed to showcase the Delta’s ever-changing beauty—from the shimmering June–September floods to the golden expanse of dry savannah. This is a place where time slows, landscapes transform before your eyes, and every moment feels deeply connected to the rhythm of the wild.
Adventures Across Land, Water & Sky
Days here are defined by effortless exploration, each adventure revealing a new side of the Delta’s magic. Glide through reed-lined waterways in a traditional mokoro as elephants wade nearby and kingfishers skim the surface. Cruise deeper by motorboat to find hidden lagoons where hippos wallow and crocodiles bask in the sun. Take to the skies on a helicopter safari for a sweeping view of this vast wilderness, or experience the rare thrill of a horseback safari, moving quietly through the landscape as wildlife grazes at a respectful distance. On dry land, guided nature walks offer an intimate look at the intricate ecosystems that make this UNESCO World Heritage Site so extraordinary.
Sustainable Luxury with a Sense of Place
The lodge’s 12 luxury tented rooms are designed to immerse guests in the Delta’s tranquillity while treading lightly on the environment. Each offers a private plunge pool, sweeping views of the surrounding waterways, and refined touches—think locally inspired textiles, artisanal accents, and handcrafted details. Built with eco-conscious materials and a deep respect for its setting, Eagle Island Lodge ensures this extraordinary habitat remains protected for generations to come.
Evenings Beneath the African Sky
After a day of exploration, guests return to the lodge for gourmet dining infused with local flavours, accompanied by fine wines and the sounds of the delta at dusk. The Fish Eagle Bar offers the perfect vantage point for a sundowner, while nights bring opportunities for stargazing far from any artificial lights.
