Okavango Delta
Situated on the south-western edge of Chief's Island on the western boundary of the Moremi Game Reserve in the heart of the Okavango Delta is Delta Camp - set in the forest of a large, beautiful and palmstudded 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 - it is no wonder that the Okavango has earned a 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 also actively encouraged to visit the local village, home to the guides, and to interact with the people there.
Delicious meals can be enjoyed in the charming dining room that overlooks 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 offers arguably the purest traditional water-based Okavango Delta experience - each of the 7 chalets is assigned its very own private guide to explore the area around Chiefs Island on mokoro and on foot, taking in the magnificent scenery, and the abundant game and bird-life of the Okavango.
Accommodation is for only 14 guests in spacious 'lethaka' (reed) open 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.
