Flew from the Savuti camp to Eagle Island camp to spend a few days there as well. The difference between this camp and Savuti is that this camp is on the Delta so you game spot off boats, and not game spotting vehicles. Again, like before at Savuti camp, we were met by all the staff from the Management down... More

Two or three days at Eagle Island is a MUST in your Botswana safari experience. Managers Chantelle, Jacques and IT ( the king of paradise) make you feel like they are welcoming you in their home. The entire staff is friendly and nice, the accomodation are great and the Delta wildlife is amazing. A very different experience from land based... More

Our second trip to Botswana, as much as for the people as the fauna. This was the first of the 3 Orient Express camps we stayed at. The Delta is a fantasic place to visit and this lodge was very upmarket and beautifully located. Very caring staff, excellent facilities and delicious food. It is expensive and we would be right...

This was part of a trip which included the three Orient Express lodges in the order of Khwai River Lodge, Eagle Island Lodge and then Savute Elephant Lodge, staying three nights in each. This water based lodge was great - and so again was our guide John. The rooms were slightly older here and did not have the fixed wooden... More

The outings were in boats, not vehicles, and so the wildlife sightings were different. More hippos, elephants, lots of birds. The 35 minute helicopter ride that is included gives a good overview of the area, with lots of game-spotting. And don't miss the Eagle Island Bar, reported to be one of the "10 most romantic bars in the world." Well,... More

A short stay at Eagle Camp exposed up to close up encounters with elephants, hippos and birdlife - a very different experience to other land based game reserves in Africa. Very knowledgeable guides with great hospitality and food - the breakfast tray with fresh coffee and warms muffins was a treat at such an early hour and the escorted trips... More

We had four friends join us in Johannesburg for the weekend and we all went up to Botswana and stayed at orient Express Eagle island camp. The plane ride from Maun to the island was an experience in itself with just us and the pilot on the plane. We were met by Jacob who was to be our guide during... More

Eagle island camp is very remote, intimate and a different safari experience to our previous land based ones. We were a family of 4 with 2 teenage boys who loved the fact that there was an elephant behind our tent when we arrived. After dark you have to be escorted by a guide around the camp because of the animals.... More
