The two luxurious Belmond Safaris lodges are set in the unspoilt wilderness of Northern Botswana. This is where the incredible Okavango Delta floods each year, attracting a breathtaking diversity of wildlife. At Eagle Island Lodge, A Belmond Safari - stunningly designed to conjure up an explorer’s base - you can drift through the watery landscape on a mokoro canoe, spotting bright frogs and kingfishers. Elephant are, not surprisingly, the main attraction at Savute Elephant Lodge, A Belmond Safari, recently relaunched with an exemplary new eco-friendly design, luxurious spa and viewing hide. The majestic inhabitants are drawn to the mysterious Savute Channel, which flows and dries up seemingly at whim. Each lodge enjoys its own ecosystem, so the experience from one to the next is dramatically different. Together they form an incredible safari journey that will enchant the most seasoned traveler.

This quieter part of the delta is ideal for avid birdwatchers and those seeking an off-the-beaten-path adventure in Botswana’s pristine wilderness. The Okavango Panhandle provides a unique and peaceful escape, complementing the luxury of your stay at Belmond Safaris.
