XUGANA ISLAND LODGE, OKAVANGO DELTA

WATER-BASED SAFARI

On an island overlooking the Xugana Lagoon, one of the Okavango’s most spectacular permanent water sites, this camp delivers an enchanting water-based safari.

Xugana Island Lodge takes full advantage of its enviable location, inviting guests to experience the region’s prolific wildlife both on land and water.

Lazy afternoons can be spent fishing for bream in one of the many surrounding waterways, or gliding along in a traditional mokoro canoe. The birding is outstanding, and nature walks are great for getting up close to animals like the rare red lechwe, especially when in the company of Xugana’s experienced guides.

The lodge itself is small, housing just 16 guests in raised reed-and-thatch chalets – each with a private viewing deck designed to drink in the glorious delta views. The lounge, bar and dining areas are open-sided and set back under a beautiful canopy of ebony and mangosteen trees. The swimming pool lies in mature gardens at the heart of the island, making it the perfect place to retreat to during the heat of the day.

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”

This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.

“TAILORED TO PERFECTION”

Our holiday in Thailand was superb – custom-built exactly to our preferences. 91�� were super attentive, listening carefully to what we wanted and designing an itinerary and hotel selection that really delivered. Even while we were away, they responded quickly to a query. A brilliant experience from start to finish.

“EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE FROM START TO FINISH”

Once again, Ultimate Travel organised a fabulous holiday for us. Their service is excellent from start to finish and their staff at the destination are the best. We have been so well looked after. They really understand what you are looking for and deliver the perfect holiday to match. I highly recommend Ultimate Travel for your next holiday!
