Delta Camp (Okavango Delta-Botswana)
|
Location:
Situated on the South Western edge of
Chief’s Island in the heart of the Okavango Delta is Delta Camp -
set in the forest of a large, beautiful and palm-studded island.
The Okavango Delta with its
crystal-clear channels, lagoons, sweeping floodplains and countless
islands, is home to over 450 bird species, a spectacular array of
plant species and the full spectrum of African game - the Okavango
has earned its reputation as one of the world's premier wilderness
areas.
The focus is on peace and
tranquility (stalking game on foot provides all the excitement one
could wish for) and guests are actively encouraged to visit a local
village, home to the guides, and to interact with the people there.

Accommodation:
Accommodation is for only
16 guests in spacious 'lethaka' (reed) chalets with en-suite
facilities. Built of natural materials and elevated off the forest
floor, each chalet has hot and cold running water, a shower with a
view, and solar-powered electric lighting.
The amazing design of the Chalets is such that you enjoy the luxuries
of a 'top rate' hotel, but without affecting the environment; you will
find you share your chalet with the trees, while taking full advantage
of the views of the surrounding bush and flood-plains. |

Facilities:
Dine in the elegant Dining
Room overlooking the sweep of the Delta viewing the surrounding
flood-plains and the wildlife that abounds. Another option is to take
a beautifully prepared picnic onto one of the many nearby islands for
a secluded and intimate experience.
Delta Camp adheres to a philosophy that
guests may enjoy the “luxury” of their own private guide at no extra
cost The guides are truly “locals” this is a man of the swamp, born
and raised in the area, and you will spend your days in his mokoro
(dug-out canoe) and walking on the many islands in the area, taking in
the magnificent scenery and light, and the abundant game-and bird-life
of the Okavango.
Delta Camp is also one of a few establishments that do accommodate
children and a thus families are most welcome. |

Delta Camp engenders in its staff and
guests alike, an acute awareness of the ecological sensitivity of this
magnificent area. Bio-degradable products have been sourced and are
used, careful separation and treatment of refuse ensures that nothing
that is not fully bio-degradable stays on the island - light aircraft
remove cans, bottles and the like from the Okavango altogether- thus
the staff and guests are continuously contributing towards a healthier
environment.
We looking forward to welcoming you to
our small piece of Paradise where you not only will experience the
magnificent array of wildlife; BIG and small but also meet the people
of the Okavango Delta |
