Delta Camp, Okavango Delta
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. 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
African 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, by foot and mokoro - the tradional
dug-out canoe - are conducted in the renowned Moremi Game Reserve, with your own
professional game-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.
The
adventurous may opt to take their guide and mokoro into the Okavango to camp out wherever
they find themselves - a wilderness experience par excellence. A full range of camping
equipment is kept in readiness and the kitchen will provide several meals for you. You
will arrive to find your camp already set up, hot water showers and sit-down loo
miraculously in situ, and your meals lovingly prepared and served with fine wines under
the canopy of the African sky - truly an 'Out of Africa' 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 accent 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.
