 This
intimate and informal safari camp nestles on
a small island close to the south-western
edge of Chief's Island, heart of the
Okavango Delta - the vast oasis of the
Kgalagadi Desert, Botswana. Delta Camp was
voted the 'Best Safari Lodge' in the whole
of Southern Africa by the prestigious
Getaway magazine of South Africa
Accommodation is in spacious 'lethaka'
(reed) chalets with en-suite facilities. 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 around which the
chalets have been built rather than having
been cut down during their construction.
The Okavango Delta is a shifting web of
crystal-clear channels, lagoons, sweeping
floodplains and palm-studded islands. Home
to over 450 bird and 1,000 plant species,
crocodile, hippo, elephant, buffalo - in
fact the full spectrum of A frican
big-game and several species of antelope
that are amongst the world's rarest - the
Okavango has earned its reputation as one of
the world's premier wilderness areas. Your
chalet at Delta Camp directly overlooks the
waterways.
Delta Camp is on the banks of the Boro, one
of the primary watercourses of the Okavango.
Excursions - Walking Safaris and and mokoro
- the traditional dug-out canoe - are
conducted in the renowned Moremi Game
Reserve, with your own professional Guide, a
man of the swamps, completely at one with
his environment.
Dine in the elegant Dining Room overlooking
the sweep of the Delta, or take a
beautifully prepared picnic onto one of the
many nearby islands for a secluded and
intimate experience.
This unusual 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.
The focus is on peace and tranquillity
(stalking game on foot provides all the
excitement one could wish for) and guests
are actively encouraged to visit a local
village, home to our guides, and to
interact, should they wish to, with the
people there.
