as one of the world's most beautiful camps, Eagle Island
Camp at Xaxaba - meaning `island of tall trees` - is water
based and situated in the Central Delta.
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

clear swimming pool are available for your use.

and walking trails. Attractions are geared towards exploring the

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.

Zambia and wonders if it is as fascinating on the ground
as it looks from the air. The car ride to the lodge is a
smooth and effortless twenty minutes. Friendly staff welcome
