Xugana Island Lodge is located on the Xugana Lagoon located in the permanent Delta – a world of crystal clear waterways winding through vast reed and papyrus beds. The Xugana Lagoon has, for thousands of years, been a safe haven for the Bushman people who have hunted this pristine water world which is home to bream, catfish and the fighting tiger-fish. The lodge swimming pool is a unique construction, allowing guests to swim in the clear fresh water of the lagoon protected by a heavy metal cage, designed to deter ‘fat Albert’ the crocodile, a long-time lagoon resident – a unique and safe experience. The lodge accommodates a maximum of 16 guests in raised reed and thatch ‘Mesasas’ situated on the shaded fringe of the island, each with a lagoon view through the artfully cleared lagoon-side vegetation. The tastefully decorated ‘Mesasas’ have twin or double beds, en-suite facilities, ceiling fan and a private deck.
