Xugana Island Lodge
The lounge-bar has inviting leather sofas and tables made from old suitcases. Walls are decorated with local artwork and there is a real safari feel. There’s an adjoining dining area and the whole building is shaded by thatch and large ebony trees. It’s open to the front, admitting a cooling breeze and letting you enjoy the views while relaxing. The camp is set in well-established gardens and a short stroll will bring you to the swimming pool, a welcome feature on a hot day.
You’ll be out and about from an early hour, exploring the waterways by motorboat and mokoro, each offering a different experience. These activities are complimented by guided walks and a chance to get even closer to nature. At all times you’ll have the benefit of your guide’s extensive local knowledge and experience to ensure that you make the very best of your time in the delta, learning about the plants, birds and animals that you see and gaining an in-depth understanding of this special region.
