Xugana Island Lodge is set in the heart of the Okavango Delta’s most breathtaking permanent water site, the Xugana Lagoon—a vast, lily-dotted expanse framed by papyrus reeds. Here, primely positioned on a private concession, the lodge immediately impresses with its Overwater Fire-Deck, extending from the main lodge onto the lagoon. As one of the first-ever delta lodges, Xugana Island Lodge has long been defined by its deep connection to the environment, exceptional service, and true tranquillity. Following a stunning recent rebuild, these values remain unwavering, reflected in a design that echoes the splendour of this incredible ecosystem now more than ever. The lagoon and its wildlife are central, and views are on full display from the pool and bar to the multi-level dining, lounge and viewing decks that comprise the main areas. En-suite Luxury Tents and a two-bedroom Luxury Interleading Tent line the island’s edge. Each tent draws inspiration from the lagoon’s blue hues and natural textiles, and views are both expansive and immersive, thanks to unique enclosed decks that create an indoor-outdoor experience. The lodge’s sense of wonder meets adventure with activities that include motorboat safaris, fishing, mokoro (traditional canoe) excursions, guided walking safaris, and world-class birdwatching.

Lokuthula means 'Place of Peace’ in the local Ndebele language - an apt name for these well-appointed lodges set in tranquil, indigenous gardens where warthogs mow the lush lawns!
This self-catering resort consists of 31 rustic thatched lodges, and is located on the same property as the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge. Lokuthula Lodges may also be booked on a bed and breakfast basis.
The lodges border the Zambezi National Park, and a nearby waterhole attracts a wide variety of wildlife, including buffalo, elephant, hyena and several bird species.
