 Xugana
Island Lodge is situated in the heart of the
Okavango Delta, nestling under a canopy of
wild ebony and garcina trees facing onto the
blue waters and tranquillity of Xugana
Lagoon. Xugana reflects the timeless pace of
a bygone Africa, when the bushman would
drink from the promised waters of the Xugana
lagoon after a long and tiring hunt.
Activities include birding, seasonal
fishing, boating, mokoro excursions and
island walks accompanied by highly qualified
and experienced guides. For the less
energetic there is a swimming pool, which is
submerged in the reeds on the banks of the
lagoon.
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.
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.
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. Bird-watching opportunities
are outstanding, and fishing for bream and
tiger fish is also offered as an activity at
the lodge.
Resident species include Lion, Elephant,
Buffalo, Hippo, Giraffe, Hyena, Zebra, Kudu,
Red Lechwe, Sable and Roan Antelope and many
more. Birdwatching is excellent throughout
the year.
Guided nature walks to the Delta's islands
afford an opportunity to track the larger
species that inhabit this wilderness area.
The water wilderness of the Okavango Delta
is rich in bird and wildlife species. The
elusive Sitatunga Antelope has found its
niche in the wetland ecosystem, birds such
as the African Fish Eagle, Pel`s Fishing Owl
and many others are magnificent in their
spectacular display - for the ornithologist
a bird paradise.
