About Shoebill Island Camp
Completely re-built, the camp is located on the west side of the wetlands on the same small island but repositioned to maximize views from a luxurious lodge deck overlooking a main lake. Positioned right on the high flood line in a grove of trees, the camp¹s main area opens entirely to the vast plains with lechwe and flocks of diverse waterbirds within arm's reach. Each of the camps 4 tents (2 double, 2 twin) are set back on the island, and appointed with the most luxurious linens and creature comforts. Designed to appeal to a broad audience of "not just birders", Shoebill offers walking, deep hull (photographic) canoeing, mokoro as well as genuine and impromptu community visits with the seasonal fishermen of the region. Our Shoebill Guardian program ensures that Shoebills are nearly always discovered, and in particular during nesting season (June to October).
