Xugana Island Lodge (pronounced Kugana) is situated in the Xugana Lagoon, in an area widely accepted as being the most spectacular permanent water site in the entire Okavango Delta. The Delta sits in the midst of the Kalahari sands and is Africa's largest and most awe-inspiring oasis. The Okavango River, rises in the highlands of Angola and never reaches the sea; instead its immense waters empty over the sands of the Kalahari. Here the great desert thirst is quenched in a wilderness of fresh water lagoons, channels and islands.

Xugana Island Lodge is situated on a private concession and takes full advantage of this magnificent site.

The lodge accommodates just 16 guests in large raised reed and thatch lagoon facing chalets, with en-suite facilities and private viewing decks situated on the shaded fringe of the island.

An open boma and alfresco dining area overlook the expanse of pristine water that makes up the permanent Delta. The lounge, bar and dining areas are set back under the Ebony and African Mangosteen tree canopy in open sided thatched structures. The swimming pool, located within the mature gardens in the center of the island, is a perfect place to relax.

Exploring the Delta by motorboat or canoe (mokoro), combined with walking on surrounding islands in the concession, gives guests the chance to experience a classic Delta safari. Bird-watching opportunities are outstanding, and fishing for bream and tiger fish is also offered as an activity at the lodge.

The lodge closes annually between 08 January and 09 February.

The lodge is part of Desert & Delta Safari's.
