Client Feedback on Eagle Island Camp:
We were met at the air strip by Matt, the man who was our dedicated guide for the duration of our stay. When he drove us to the lodge, we were greeted by a group of singing ladies, along with Sarah and Andrew the managers. Sarah and Andrew are so enthusiastic about their jobs, it was infectious. We learned that they are "relief" managers, but it obvious that they truly enjoy their jobs and made us feel very welcome and happy to be there.
The accommodation are fabulous; what can I say... a huge tent with all kinds of creature comforts, surrounded by nature, and truly the guests lack for nothing.
The food was lovely, we prefer the non-buffet style for dining, and that's exactly what we got at dinner time. Breakfasts, high tea, brunches, are all lovely buffets... we ate so much, because everything is so delicious.
The Fish Eagle bar is also fantastic and their bartender Diana has magic hands with those drinks!
Matt our guide, and the others are fantastic. They truly know the Okavango delta like the back of their hands, and we learned a lot from these unpretentious men. I could have stayed an extra night just to relax and observe nature.
We made friends here that I think we'll have for the rest of our lives!
An incredibly fabulous stay!
