Okavango Delta - Guided Walking Safari-03-2.jpg

Okavango Delta

Some camps and lodges in the Okavango Delta change dramatically throughout the year with green season often offering a vastly contrasting experience due to the floodwaters having receded. Xugana Island Lodge offers year-round water based activities located on a private concession in the heart of the Okavango Delta, the best location from which to explore the deep water, lagoons and channels.

 

Guided bush walks on the surrounding islands offer a unique perspective of the delta as well as an opportunity to witness the abundant wildlife on foot. With the lower floodwaters of the green season we are able access the mainland by vehicle to offer our seasonal game drives which allows for excellent game viewing on day and night drives. The perfect green season Okavango Delta camp with every activity available!
