This island is located at the far eastern side of the Caprivi Strip, encompassing Zambezi and Chobe Rivers. The Island is located at the confluence of the Zambezi and Chobe Rivers. This island on the eastern tip of the Caprivi, bordered in the north by Zambia, in the south by Botswana, and in the east by Zimbabwe, could just as well be called one of the ultimate birding spots in the world. It offers an exotic view of the floodplains with animals grazing and going about their business at the Chobe National Park. This island also offers cruises and canoeing for witnessing the surreal natural beauty of the river set across the vast wilderness.

A combination of floodplain, open grassland, mopane and riverine woodland as well as papyrus-lined waterways make this a bird watching paradise. Birds such as Pel's Fishing Owl, Rock Pratincole, African Finfoot, White-backed Night Heron, Brown Firefinch, Coppery Sunbird, Chirping Cisticola, Redfaced Cisticola, Coppery-tailed Coucal are easily found and regularly seen.

On the sand banks along the Zambezi, you'll have the chance of catching a glimpse of the endangered African Skimmer. They usually share these sandy beaches with the odd Whiskered Tern and a lapwing or 60. A definite certainty on any trip on the Zambezi is a sight of the African Marsh-Harrier flying cheerfully over the marsh in search of small mammals and birds. The nesting suburbs of the beautiful Southern Carmine Bee-eaters are a must on this trip.

The slow-flowing streams with overhanging branches give perfect refuge to the highly secretive but much sought-after African Finfoot. Flood plains usually teem with water birds, each doing their own thing. Various herons, storks and egrets, such as the Rufous-bellied Herons and the Slaty Egret can be seen fiddling around in the mud.

At night the African Wood-Owl and African Barred Owlet are two of the not-so-common owls that can be found here. The Yellow-bellied Greenbul is by far the common species, while the Arrow-marked Babblers are the most vocal of the lodge bird guests. The White-browed Robin-Chat is known for its sounds in there early morning and late in the afternoon. Other regulars to look out for include the Brown Firefinch, Swamp Boubou, Ashy Flycatcher, Brown-crowned Tchagra and seven different sunbirds.
