博茨瓦納，非洲第一富國。璀璨的鉆石為博茨瓦納人帶來財(cái)富，而為這個(gè)干燥的內(nèi)陸國度帶來綠色生機(jī)的，則是坐落在國家西北部的奧卡萬戈三角洲。在這個(gè)世界最大的內(nèi)陸三角洲上，自然的靈動(dòng)得以充分展現(xiàn)，成群的斑馬、水牛以及黑尾牛羚為三角洲帶來盎然生機(jī)。

然而，奧卡萬戈三角洲并不僅僅是野生動(dòng)物的天堂，在這片充滿濃郁草原風(fēng)情的土地上，依水而建的貝爾蒙德老鷹島旅舍，為來此度假的游客們創(chuàng)造了別樣的居停體驗(yàn)。

otswana is the wealthiest of African countries. Whereas diamonds bring wealth for Botswana people， the Okavango Delta in the northwest of the country injects vigor to this dry inland country. In the world's largest inland delta， the resourcefulness of nature is fully demonstrated here， herds of zebra， buffalo and black tailed wildebeest all contribute to the delta vitality. The Okavango Delta， however， is not merely a paradise for wild animals， the water-based Belmond Eagle Island Lodge， Botswana， has created innovational experience for the visitors of this resort with its rich grassland atmosphere.

作為貝爾蒙德集團(tuán)（Belmond，原東方快車集團(tuán)）旗下三家博茨瓦納野外旅舍之一，老鷹島旅舍（Belmond Eagle Island Lodge）與莫瑞米禁獵區(qū)的Belmond Khwai River Lodge及喬貝國家公園的Belmond Savute Elephant Lodge分別處于獨(dú)立的生態(tài)系統(tǒng)之中。坐落于私人島嶼之上的老鷹島旅舍，鄰近奧卡萬戈三角洲內(nèi)多處最深河域，亦是聯(lián)合國教科文組織世界遺產(chǎn)地，特殊的地理位置與人文地位賦予了他與其他兩家不同的氣質(zhì)與靈性。

經(jīng)過大規(guī)模改建，于2015年11月重開的世界頂級旅舍Belmond Eagle Island Lodge以其全新帳篷客房、餐廳及酒廊展現(xiàn)在世人面前，旅舍的陳設(shè)擺件皆由當(dāng)?shù)毓そ骋员就廖锪舷ば拇蛟?，與視野之內(nèi)的自然美景相得益彰。室內(nèi)室外，自然的美景與工匠的手藝相應(yīng)生輝，呈獻(xiàn)新奇獨(dú)特的地道體驗(yàn)。

除此之外，旅舍更精心打造了徒步和私人直升機(jī)獵奇之旅，亦以快艇、大型平底船及當(dāng)?shù)靥厣?dú)木舟莫科洛 （mokoro） 提供水上游獵活動(dòng)。水陸兩棲的全方位探索讓旅客深入三角洲的心臟地帶，這樣獨(dú)特的綠洲之行在非洲可謂獨(dú)一無二。

Nestled in the most unique ecosystem， Belmond Eagle Island Lodge is one of the three Belmond safari lodges in Botswana， along with Belmond Khwai River Lodge in the Moremi Wildlife Reserve and Belmond Savute Elephant Lodge in Chobe National Park. Belmond Eagle Island Lodge is perched on a private island encircled by some of the deepest stretches of the Okavango Delta and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Such special geographical and cultural traits have injected additional spiritual sensitivities to Belmond Eagle Island Lodge， unlike the other two lodges.

Following an almost total rebuild， Belmond Eagle Island Lodge in Botswana reopened in November 2015， bringing fresh new tented guest accommodation， restaurant and lounge created by local artisans and materials， and offering an insight into the region's natural beauty and an experience of originality.

In addition， the lodge offers walking and air safaris in a private helicopter， as well as motorboat safaris， barge cruises and mekoro （a local canoe） safaris. Such a comprehensive water-focused safari experience into the heart of Okavango cannot be found elsewhere in Africa.

身居非洲草原，若居住于傳統(tǒng)酒店的樓閣之中，豈不浪費(fèi)了眼前這一番美景？為迎合酒店所處的特殊環(huán)境，旅舍設(shè)置的12間煥然一新的豪華帳篷客房如同璀璨耀眼的鉆石散落在奧卡萬戈三角洲的咸水湖畔。房間所運(yùn)用的綠色和淡黃色與色調(diào)柔和的草原融為一體；淡雅的灰色與旅舍所在地的地貌及附近覓食的大象相映成趣；而淺金和鮮黃兩色則令人聯(lián)想起非洲濕地上充滿活力的雀鳥。每間面積82平方米的豪華帳篷設(shè)有露臺，下榻的客人在帳篷內(nèi)就可以飽覽迷人湖景。帳篷中最令人矚目的焦點(diǎn)在于面向三角洲景致的特大睡床，其手工銅面床頭板與博茨瓦納的采礦傳統(tǒng)交相輝映，靈感來自棲息于潟湖的野生動(dòng)物，營造出光線在床上舞動(dòng)的效果。

As you are in the African grassland， it only makes sense if you are also in easy access to its precious view. To fully fit in to the surroundings， the lodge launches 12 new Deluxe Tented Rooms， so luxurious that they acted as 12 glinting diamonds scattered by the Okavango salt-water lake. Like the gentle hues of the surrounding grassland， the colour palette of the room combines greens and soft yellows with subtle grey tones， reflecting the land itself as well as the elephants that feed nearby. Shades of dusty gold and bright yellow have been added to suggest the vibrancy of birds. These 82 square-meter rooms boast their own outdoor deck， offering access to a splendid view from within the room. The centrepiece is an oversized bed with views onto the delta.

The Tented Rooms offer contemporary luxury perfectly blended with local traditions. Every detail in the room has been carefully thought-out， from a mini-bar crafted in the style of an explorer's toolbox to the hand-stitched waxy leather upholstery on furniture and a custom-designed table with canvas and leather pockets. Each Tented Room features a private plunge pool， luxurious bathroom with a large bathtub， a double vanity unit and a walk in wardrobe， as well as a walled outdoor shower with a window looking onto the delta.

Dining·An African Fusion Fantasy

餐飲非洲風(fēng)情的別樣夢幻

旅舍的公共空間進(jìn)行徹底翻新后，帶來更寬敞的接待處、室內(nèi)外和諧相融的餐廳，以及附設(shè)酒吧和圖書室的酒廊。蜿蜒的小路連接著旅舍的各個(gè)部分，如同乘坐小船游走在草原間縱橫蜿蜒的河道一樣，在緩步挪移之中突顯出不同角度的旅舍與草原景致。

酒店的主餐廳同樣隱藏于草原風(fēng)貌之中，位于餐廳中央的開放式家庭廚房和燃木薄餅烤爐，為餐廳平添了家的氛圍，而餐廳中隨處可見的探險(xiǎn)工具及鮮艷的昆蟲擺設(shè)，則為這個(gè)半開放的空間營造出冒險(xiǎn)探索的意味。取材自精巧鳥巢的時(shí)尚燈具于入夜后為整個(gè)空間投下斑駁的影子，頗具非洲風(fēng)情。

由餐廳穿過戶外平臺后，即進(jìn)入了酒廊。旅舍的酒廊擁有以當(dāng)?shù)啬静氖止ご蛟斓陌膳_和巨大壁爐，實(shí)為悠閑放松的理想之所。酒廊盡量保留自然元素，于設(shè)計(jì)中融入古老的西克莫無花果樹，并配設(shè)吊椅讓賓客觀賞美景。被奧卡萬戈三角洲河域吸引而來的蝴蝶，亦成為了裝飾的靈感來源。酒廊內(nèi)綴有繽紛奪目的手制金屬蝴蝶，宛如于空中飛舞一樣，在光線照耀下更添夢幻氣息。

在戶外空間，旅舍于河道旁邊設(shè)置了極具非洲特色的營火堆和燒烤爐，毗鄰營火堆的Fish Eagle Bar用色參照當(dāng)?shù)卦B類非洲海雕（Fish Eagle） ，以其胸膛的雪白色、身體的棕色及喙部的鮮黃色為主調(diào)，鮮亮的顏色與強(qiáng)烈的對比讓人聯(lián)想到非洲草原的絢麗以及草原生物的靈動(dòng)。

Collections of explorer's instruments and displays of brightly coloured insects add to the sense of discovery， and contemporary lights inspired by intricate birds' nests weave intriguing shadows across the space in the evening.）

After a total renovation， the public areas of the lodge now have a roomier reception area with a new restaurant offering inside and outside dining and new lounge area with a bar and a library. Just like the numerous water channels that weave through the grasslands， the design flows through the spaces， highlighting the stunning delta views from various vantage points.

The main lodge restaurant also has its secret hiding place among the grasslands. At the heart of the restaurant is a family-style open kitchen with a wood-burning pizza oven， creating a very homey set-up. Collections of the explorer's instruments and displays of brightly coloured insects add to the sense of discovery， and contemporary lights inspired by intricate birds' nests weave intriguing shadows across the space in the evening.

Through the path of an outside deck， you can easily go through the restaurant to the lounge. Featuring an artisanal style bar made from locally sourced timber and a huge fireplace， the lounge is a place in which to relax. Natural elements are retained wherever possible with an ancient sycamore fig tree being incorporated into the design， sheltering a hanging cocoon swing on which to enjoy the views. Butterflies are drawn to the water in the Okavango Delta and have also been used as inspiration in elements of decoration. Inside the lounge， a kaleidoscope of handmade metal butterflies appears to fly through the air， illuminated to enhance the magical effect.

In the outdoor areas， the lodge has included a new campfire and barbecue， in an enclave directly on the edge of the water channels. Located close to the campfire is the Fish Eagle Bar， whose colour palette is inspired by the distinctive snow-white chest， brown body and bright yellow beak of the indigenous bird. The bright colours and strong contrast remind people once again of the splendor of the African savannah and its magnificent creatures.

夕陽時(shí)分，大地披上了華麗的金色，老鷹島旅舍如同鑲嵌在奧卡萬戈三角洲上的奪目鉆石，在遼闊起伏的草原上靜靜璀璨，充滿著時(shí)尚奢華氣息，卻毫無與周邊古樸豪放的非洲草原環(huán)境的違和感。坐在旅社酒廊的吊椅上，感受著來自湖面的陣陣清風(fēng)，自由呼吸著混有青草味兒的空氣，碰觸神秘的非洲大陸與濕地草原的絲絲脈搏，體味與自然融為一體的和諧美妙，回歸到人與自然和諧相處的純潔與淡然。

By sunset， the delta is soaked in flamboyant golden colour. Belmond Eagle Island Lodge looks like dazzling diamonds embedded in the Okavango Delta， at peace with its own luxurious existence amongst the simple yet wild African savannah. Sitting in the lounge hanging chair， let the breeze from the lake brush past， and breath in the air mixed with the smell of the grass， this experience will give you the pulse of the mysterious African wetlands. It is a pure joy to integrate with nature and return to the state of harmony， purity and detachment found in the interaction of mankind and nature
