  Belmond Eagle Island Camp offers excellent game viewing. Buffalo herds in this region are very large with as many as 500 – 700 being seen at a time and Elephants are always around. Marvel at the prolific birdlife and visit Chief’s Island in the Moremi Wildlife Reserve, which teems with Zebra, Lion, Leopard and various antelope, Wildebeest and the ever-present Hippopotamus and Crocodile.   

Even though the Okavango Delta is technically known as a swamp, the water is remarkably clear, and free of impurities. It is also heavily populated with fish. So it will come as no surprise that this area boasts one of the highest concentrations of magnificent Fish Eagles on earth. A variety of birds, including herons, cormorants, pelicans, darters and storks.
