It takes full advantage of this location, with an expansive viewing deck and al fresco dining area that overlooks the vast, pristine body of water. Xugana Lagoon is widely recognised as one of the most spectacular permanent water sites in the Okavango Delta and Africa’s largest and most awe-inspiring oasis.
