About Delta Camp
This intimate yet informal safari camp is nestled on a small island near the south-western edge of Chief's Island, in the heart of the Okavango Delta, Botswana's inland “sea”. Delta Camp’s lethaka (reed) chalets are dotted within the island’s forest and are designed to take advantage of the many indigenous trees.
Each chalet blends unobtrusively into its surroundings, enjoying views over the floodplains. Hammocks add to the simple luxury of this wilderness retreat. Delta Camp is located on the banks of the Boro River, one of the primary watercourses of the Okavango, and all chalets overlook the water.
Guests can enjoy their meals in the elegant dining room, which offers sweeping views of the Delta. Alternatively, a beautifully prepared picnic on one of the nearby islands provides a secluded and intimate experience.
The excellent meals ensure that guests are well-prepared for their walks, and tea and coffee are available at all times. The open bar is on hand to refresh throughout the day.

Excursions
Delta Camp excursions include walking safaris and mokoro (traditional dug-out canoe) trips, conducted in the renowned Moremi Game Reserve. Each guest has a professional guide, a local man of the Delta, completely at one with his environment.
The focus is on peace and tranquillity, with stalking game on foot providing all the excitement one could wish for. Guests are also encouraged to visit a local village, home to the camp's guides, and to interact with the people there if they wish.
