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 with an open
boma and al fresco dining area facing out over the expanse
of pristine water that makes up the permanent Delta. 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 located
in the centre of the island, is a perfect place to relax.
Xugana, however, is renowned for its unique dinner venues,
all al fresco, either on the islands or on the lagoon!
The 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 offered as an activity at the lodge.
