Xugana Island Lodge is situated on a private concession within the world-renowned Okavango Delta. The Okavango Delta braids across 15 000 km² of Botswana’s Kalahari Desert, providing an oasis to an abundance of wildlife. In the permanent delta, the myriad of sparkling waterways coil amongst the reed and papyrus beds and open unexpectedly onto tranquil lagoons that are fringed by wooded islands.

Highlights

  • Situated in the heart of the Okavango Delta
  • Private thatch chalets with en-suite facilities and private viewing decks
  • Superb water- and land-based game-viewing opportunities

You Should Know

  • Children aged 6 years and older are welcome at the lodge.

The Detail

Xugana Lagoon is recognized as one of the most spectacular permanent water camps in the Okavango Delta. The lodge, located on a wooded island in the Xugana Lagoon, nestles beneath the shade of ancient wild ebony and African mangosteen trees, overlooking the peaceful lagoon. This exclusive reed and thatch structure seamlessly blends with the surrounding landscape. Xugana prides itself on exceptional service, comfortable accommodation, and sumptuous cuisine.

The lodge features eight reed-and-thatch Lagoon-Facing Chalets that are raised on wooden platforms to provide breathtaking views of the lagoon. Each chalet includes twin beds, an en-suite bathroom with double vanities and shower, an overhead fan, an in-room safe, tea and coffee-making facilities, an umbrella, a flashlight, an air horn, a hairdryer, and a private deck.

Facilities at the lodge include a lounge, bar, indoor and outdoor dining areas, a swimming pool, and a viewing deck.

Xugana focuses on water-based activities to explore the delta. Tranquil mokoro trips offer a soothing way to observe a variety of water birds and pods of grunting hippos up close. Motorboat safaris provide access to lagoons and nearby islands, offering exceptional opportunities for game and bird viewing. Wilderness walks allow guests to learn about the wonders of the swamp and the smaller creatures that inhabit the area. Guests can also enjoy catch-and-release fishing, trying their hand at catching bream and tiger fish.

Xugana Island Lodge borders the Moremi Game Reserve, which is home to diverse habitats that support a wide variety of animals. Guests may encounter species such as wild dogs, leopards, and cheetahs, as well as lions, elephants, buffalo, hippos, giraffes, hyenas, zebras, kudus, red lechwe, sable, and roan antelopes.

Bird-watching is excellent throughout the year, with species such as the reed cormorant, African darter, eastern white pelican, African spoonbill, goliath heron, egrets, glossy ibis, sacred ibis, storks, geese, and a variety of ducks among those that can be spotted in the area.

Xugana Island Lodge is ideal for solo travelers, couples, and families seeking a tranquil yet rewarding safari experience in the Okavango Delta.

What our guests say about Leigh-Ann

November 13, 2024
Exceptional travel agent and overall experience!!
Leigh Ann was an exceptional travel agent who went above and beyond to make our trip to Kruger National Park, Victoria Falls, and Chobe unforgettable. Her recommendations were spot-on, and what made the experience even better was her personal perspective—insights you simply won’t find online. She shared tips that added so much value to our trip and made everything feel more meaningful. Leigh Ann was available anytime we had questions, which made us feel completely supported throughout the trip. From the initial planning stages to our return, every detail was seamless and perfectly coordinated. If you’re planning a trip to Africa, I highly recommend Leigh Ann. She truly gave us a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you, Leigh Ann!

3-nights Zambia trip
I would start by saying before I started talking to Leigh-Ann Croeser I knew I wanted to go on this 3-nights adventure in Zambia with my family towards the end of this year, but I did not have any idea of how to go about planning it, thankfully Leigh-Ann responded immediately to my enquiry. Ever since I started communicating with her, she has been a very friendly, professional, knowledgeable, awesome Luxury Safari consultant who came through for me in every step of this process. She offered great advice and did a great job in customizing our itinerary and put my mind at ease in the process. She always responded quickly and gave me great advise when I needed. We are so looking forward to going on this adventure. I want to thank her from the bottom of my heart;) Thembi Coleman and her family

I tried setting everything up myself
I tried setting everything up myself, but ran into a few hiccups. Less than an hour after reaching out to them in the late afternoon from overseas, I had a response. Leigh-Ann Croeser was quick to help me with all my lodging/ transport/ and special dietary plan needs. I'm looking forward to taking my special someone to this amazing place!

Anja at Safari.com was a great partner to work with!
Working with Anja at Safari.com was great. She was able to work some magic and got us a few nights at the safari lodge we really wanted, Ngoma. Unfortunately, our flight from the USA to South Africa was canceled and we were rebooked a day later but Anja was great about making sure our lodge and the transports knew about the change in plans and made sure we got to our trip as soon as we could. She was a great partner to have and communicated quickly whenever we reached out. I would highly recommend using her when planning a trip to Africa!

Great service from Denise at Safari.com
Denise from Safari.com was extremely helpful. She responded promptly, provided good advice on safari lodgings options and worked up a couple of itinerary options to suit our budget. Denise also organised flights and transfers very quickly so that we could finalize our booking in a short time. Much appreciated.
