Welcome to Monkey Island
Monkey Island is nestled on the banks of the Ikoga Lagoon that lies alongside the Okavango River, the source of the Delta. Ever mindful not to disturb the beautiful surrounds that play home to hippo and croc with a large variety of rare birds such as lesser and purple gallinule, fish eagle, Pel’s fishing owl and Slaty egret.Monkey Island provides unobtrusive comfortable tented accommodation, clean toilets and hot showers.
The “Mekoro Bar” at which you can enjoy sundowners and socialize is rivaled only by an evening boat trip where you can soak in the legendary Delta sunsets. And when evening falls, you’ll be spoilt with authentic open fire Africa cuisine prepared with care by a friendly staff member with the warmest of smiles.
So relax, fish, enjoy a walking trail or simply…just stare
Here you’ll be required to give up many things. We suspect you’ll be happy to oblige.
Toss aside your alarm clock for the early call of some of the rarest birds in Africa, trade in your car for the melodic sounds of a mekoro, blank out the city lights, and look up to the ones that dazzle in the blackest of African skies, give up your TV for a bonfire and your shoes for bare feet.
