Camp Activities

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.

Our camp offers game viewing activities in the morning and late afternoons.  Bird and game viewing is done either from motorised boats or mokoro (traditional dugout canoes), which are poled along effortlessly and quietly through the clear waters of the Okavango.

A 'Naturally Wild' range of exclusive services have been designed to enhance your experiences at the luxury camps – these include private scenic game-viewing flights over the miraculous Okavango Delta, private excursions to secret islands, intimate romantic dinners on your own tent deck and indulgent massages and body wraps surrounded by the pristine Botswana wilderness. Details on our Private Excursions and Spa Body Treatments are available at the Camp.

Add real spice to your adventure in the Delta on a private small plane or  helicopter game-viewing flight over Botswana’s diverse plains, woodlands and river beds, or on an unforgettable boat trip along some of the world’s most untainted waterways, or on an exclusive full-day private game drive that winds you through the heart of Africa. Experience the beauty and natural rhythms of Africa with your private guide and untamed nature.

Bird watching at Eagle Island Camp

This would be the highlight of any birders trip as this is truly a birders destination. Eagle Island boasts almost 400 bird species and has by far more specials than the other two camps put together.

As the name suggests this is a water camp and during times when the flood that fills the Okavango Delta is good then the camp is totally cut off from the mainland. The water birds here are out of this world; specials include regular sightings of the infamous Pel's Fishing Owl, Black Coucal, Long Toed Plovers, Brown Fire Finches and a whole host of other specials. Wattled Cranes are also a big feature with flocks of up to 200 have been recorded.

A three night stay at Eagle Island Camp is recommended to take in all the beauty and wildlife in the area.
