Xugana Island Lodge
Location
The Xugana Lagoon, part of Xugana private concession, is widely accepted as being the most spectacular permanent water site in the entire Okavango Delta. Xugana Island Lodge, situated on a wooded island abutting the lagoon, takes full advantage of this magnificent site.
Accommodation and facilities
Xugana Island Lodge accommodates just 16 guests in large raised reed and thatch chalets situated on the shaded fringe of the island, each with a lagoon view through the lagoon-side vegetation. The recently refurbished chalets have twin or double beds, en-suite facilities with walk in showers, overhead fans and a private deck.
The lounge, bar and dining areas are set back under the Fig and Leadwood tree canopy in open sided thatched areas. The swimming pool, located amongst the mature gardens in the center of the island, is a perfect place to relax. Xugana is renowned for its unique dinner venues, all al fresco, on the island.
Activities and game viewing
Mokoro trips in eco-friendly dugout canoes, combined with walking to surrounding lagoons and islands in the concession give guests the chance to experience a classic Delta safari.
Xugana Island Lodge bird-watching opportunities are outstanding, and fishing for bream and Tiger fish is offered as an activity at the lodge. There are a variety of animals and birdlife to be seen at Xugana.
