Location
Lying on the banks of the Boro Channel just south
of Chief's island, unspoilt and remote. The camp
is shaded by a canopy of indigenous trees, a cool
retreat from the African Sun. This is one of the
Delta's most pristine natural locations, a region
of myriad waterways, palm treed islands and vast
flood plains. Magnificent sunsets can be watched
from the camp's sunset cruiser or from the raised
deck overlooking the lagoon.

Attractions
The mixed marginal floodplain woodland of Xaxaba
and the surrounding semi-permanent flood plains
are primarily home to Cape Buffalo, Bushbuck,
Red Lechwe, Sitatunga and baboon. This does not
however mean that other species do not occur in
this area, for at certain times of the year it
is not uncommon to have an elephant outside your
tent. The area is also famous for its bird and
life, and many other large mammals and predators.
Facilities
Accommodation consists of 12 twin-bedded, reed
and thatched chalets en-suite, with hot water
supplied by wood-burning boilers. The furnishing
is luxurious and comfortable with ethnic themes.
There is a lovely bar in the main complex and
an open-air, as well as an under-cover, dining
and lounge area, with superb views over the lazy
waters. A laundry service, a library with books
and videos for your special interests and a crystal
clear swimming pool are available for your use.
Additional Information
Eagle Island Camp offers game viewing by mokoro
(dugout canoe), motorboats and walking trails.
Attractions are geared towards exploring the area's
scenic and natural wonders. When the sun is about
to set, the camp's 14 seat sunset cruiser takes
you on a journey through the delta. You can once
more enjoy the birds and the wildlife before your
return to the base, where you are welcomed with
a wonderful candlelight dinner served under the
stars. If you would like to watch the animals
from the air, this option can be pursued aboard
a fixed-wing aircraft or helicopter. This must
however be booked in advance.
