An elegant hotel which has earned a reputation for a quiet atmosphere, spacious comfortable bedrooms and outstanding friendly service that gives one a memorable stay.

Guests are offered the opportunity to view the spay of the Falls from the roof top of the sundowner bar.

At the village you will have the opportunity to purchase some of Zimbabwe's arts and crafts. In the afternoon you will be collected for a sunset cruise on the Zambezi River including drinks (beer and wine) and light snacks.

Day 03

This morning you will be collected from the hotel and transferred to the Chobe Safari Lodge, where you spend the next (2) nights on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis. Included in your stay is one guided morning game drive, one afternoon boat cruise and 1 day permit for the Chobe National Park.

On Botswana's far northern borders lies the Kwando, Linyanti and Chobe river system which forms a series of lakes, islands and floodplains and is home to some of the last great wildlife herds of Africa. The Chobe National Park, famous for its large elephant and buffalo herds, lies on the banks of the Chobe river, just above its confluence with the Zambezi. From the village of Kasane, the Park extends some 11,700sq km towards the south and west. Vegetation ranges from the dense riverine and grass floodplains of the north to the teak forests and mopane woodlands (with scattered pans and water holes) towards the "Mababe Depression" and "Savuti" channel in the south. In addition to the "BIG GAME" and a variety of predators, there are eighteen species of antelope in the Park, including some rare animals such as puku, lechwe and the shy Chobe bushbuck. Hippo, crocodile and an abundance of game and birdlife decorate the waterways of this river system, and game viewing by river boat is a "Game Drive with a Difference". Daily guided game drives are available into the park from Chobe Safari Lodge, and transfers can also be arranged to luxury tented camps in Photo Africa's private wildlife concession areas. The Lodge caters for a variety of accommodation needs. Family units and standard type bedrooms are situated in the main hotel section, while along the river bank there are 22 thatched rondawels and a grassed camping site. Facilities include a conference room, curio shop, fuel station, liquor store, swimming pool, restaurant, bar and beatuful sunsets. Chobe Safari Lodge, the oldest in the area, sports the local pub, a rendezvous for some colorful characters including some of the best known big-game hunters, safari guides and bush pilots in Africa.

Day 04

Day spent on safari at Chobe Safari Lodge. Additional activities such as boat cruises, nature walks, fishing and game drives can be booked at the lodge.

Day 05

Today you will be collected at the lodge and transferred to the Kasane Airport to meet your light aircraft transfer to the Eagle Island Camp in the Okavango Delta, where you spend the next (2) nights on a fully inclusive basis. Hidden from the world, deep within Botswana's Okavango Delta, is the paradise we call Eagle Island Camp. Situated on the island of Xaxaba and surrounded by Ilala Palms, the camp overlooks a surrounding lagoon fed by the tranquil waterways of the Delta. The area offers exceptionally high quality wildlife viewing with prolific birdlife and mammal sightings. It is also the site of one of the most romantic bars in the world, the Fish Eagle Bar, as voted by New York Times. The camp offers a cool retreat from the African sun and is shaded by a canopy of indigenous trees. Xaxaba is one of the Delta's most pristine natural locations, a region of myriad waterways, palm- treed islands and vast flood plains. Bird and animal life in this region is prolific. The camp offers game viewing by mokoro (traditional dugout canoe), motorised boats and a 14-seater Sundowner cruiser. For intrepid explorers with an appetite for sights and sounds of the bush, we offer guided walks. The magnificent sunsets can be enjoyed during times of high flood from the camp's most romantic Fish Eagle Bar at Eagle Island or from the raised deck overlooking the lagoon. Built to blend into its environment, with private decks overlooking the surrounding lagoon, the camps affords guests with a peaceful setting perfect for enjoying the sights and sounds of the Okavango Delta. All luxury tents are housed on raised wooden platforms, offering great views, and shaded by a traditional African thatch roof. The large private decks are furnished with easy chairs and a hammock, ideal for viewing wildlife, or for enjoying a private dinner in complete privacy. The tent interiors are luxuriously appointed with such comforts as an en suite bathroom, private fully stocked mini bar, four poster bed complete with mosquito netting, as well as a discreet air conditioning.

For your convenience, in-room safes are now provided for the safekeeping of all cash, travel documents and other such articles. Eagle Island Camp’s serene watery base lends itself to quiet relaxation, contemplation and reflection. If, however, you are looking for adventure and excitement then Eagle Island will not disappoint – from walking safaris on surrounding islands, where there is always the possibility of a close encounter, to mokoro and motor boat excursions around the myriad of waterways, the diversity and propensity of the wildlife will fascinate the most seasoned of travelers to Africa. During the months of November through March, when lower water levels make it possible to drive our open 4x4 vehicles off the island, guests can also enjoy the combined excitement of a game drive with water activity.
