ISLAND SAFARI LODGE
Island Safari Lodge is 12 km outside of Maun on the road to Moremi.
It is situated on the bank of the Thamalakane River, which is dry most time of the year.
The Okavango Delta as well as the Thamalakane River gets its water from the highlands of Angola where the rainfall is about 1500mm per year. This water flows for about 1 300km before it enters the Delta.
Rains falling in Angola from September on, only reaches Maun between June and July. Only 3% of the water that enters the Delta, eventually reach Maun. 2% seeps into the sand and the rest is lost through transpiration and evaporation.
At the lodge a cozy bar overlooks the Thamalakane River and a sparkling pool to cool off in, is available for guests.
The accommodation consists of thatched chalets, with en-suite facilities.
The shady campsite with good ablution facilities is situated on the banks of the river.
Various activities, including Makoro trails, are available from the lodge.
The restaurant offers an a-la-cart menu.
