EnquirePerched on a private island in the Okavango Delta, Belmond Eagle Island Lodge has been rebuilt to add originality to the superb water-based safari experience it offers. 12 spacious canvas, wood and thatch suites are contemporary, with touches of a bygone explorer age. Each boasts deep day beds and glass sliding doors which lead out to large decks and private plunge pools. The lodge has a fabulous wow factor with quality finishes and obvious attention to detail. Fluid lines mimic the Delta’s meandering channels. Greys, blues and copper tones reflect the earth, animals and setting sun, and the thatched roof resembles a traditional tribal fishing net. Copper butterflies and weavers’ nest lamp-shades add to the decorative appeal of the central spaces. Stunning panoramas may be appreciated from the split-level lounge with its fireplace, open-plan kitchen and pizza oven. An exquisitely romantic bar overlooks the Boro Lagoon. Surrounded by deep channels, the lodge’s activities (walks, boat and mokoro safaris – depending on water levels) ensure guests have the opportunity to view the regions game and prolific birdlife. Game drives, mokoro building demos, and village visits are also available. At Belmond Eagle Island Lodge there is a welcome flexibility with regards to meals and activities. Air-conditioning runs between 04h00 and 23h00.
We had such a good holiday. You did a fantastic job!
The house in Marrakesh was ridiculous. We effectively had it to ourselves. The accommodation was borderline palatial.
I actually think that the time we had in Marrakesh was sufficient. We could potentially have done a day by a pool but I think we’d done enough souk-ing by the end of Day Two.
The hotel in the mountains was a shade more rustic than I was expecting, but all great fun. Stunning views. The guide / mule / cook team were excellent and our guide (Hassan) tailored the treks to our capabilities well. He was superb, and really made an effort with the kids. The second and third day of trekking were particularly good. Such an adventure for the kids.
All the logistics worked seamlessly. Every aspect went like clockwork. Top marks. The advice on tipping was also much appreciated (I hate thinking that I’m getting mugged off or am potentially not giving enough…).
From my seven-year-old son:
I thought it was GREAT. The food was amazing and the culture was very interesting. My favourite bit was scrambling up rocks in the Atlas Mountains.
In retrospect, I’d probably do the trip in reverse. Flopping on the roof terrace after the rigours of the mountains would have been even more satisfying.

We had an amazing experience - absolutely loved it.
Mohamed and Said were great and very patient especially with me going downhill - was quite nervous about the scree slopes and paths.Will be a trip we remember forever
