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 Illala 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. more » « less

I can't imagine a nicer safari experience. Like the other reviewers, I cannot believe the poor review written by another traveler. I have been to Africa a number of times, and Eagle Island Camp is one of the finest camps I have ever stayed. I totally disagree with the poor assessment of the management team. I sat with them for... more

I cannot believe the bad review below was written about the same camp we visited. I’m new to tripadvisor and I’m busy reading reviews for our next holiday, but thought I’d take the time to post a review of the lovely Eagle Island camp. Eagle was our first camp (we then went onto Savute) on our honeymoon in August 2006.... more

Having experienced 19 trips to Africa - 17 of them into Orient Express Camps I found a review to be so unlike anything I have ever experienced there. Eagle Island Camp has one of the most beautiful settings in the Delta. I find the tents luxurious yet not overdone. One cannot describe "Sundowners" at Fish Eagle Bar they are so... more

There are so many negatives regarding this camp that far, far outweigh the positives that I don't know where to start. The management team are appalling and appear to have forgotten that they are in the service industry - their skills are truck stop level NOT 5 star level. The camp is disorganised, the literature misleading e.g. we booked treatments... more
