About Pelo Camp
Pelo Camp is situated in the private Jao Concession on the boundary of the Moremi Game Reserve. It is the perfect place to connect with one of the largest inland wetlands on the planet: the Okavango Delta in Botswana.
The word Pelo means ‘heart’ – a fitting name as, from the air, the island on which the camp is situated is heart-shaped. It is also situated pretty much as deep into the heart of the Okavango Delta as you can be.
About Pelo Camp
Pelo Camp is set in one of the best areas to see sitatunga and red lechwe. Wildlife concentrations within this part of the Okavango Delta depend on the water flow and volume, which change from season to season.
- Birdlife: Bird enthusiasts can spot Pel's fishing-owl, African and lesser jacanas, and other Okavango specials such as slaty egret, African pygmy-goose, and western banded snake-eagle.
- Wildlife: The camp is located in the most densely populated wetland area for sitatunga antelope and red lechwe, with hippos and crocodiles regularly sighted. In the dry season, lechwe, tsessebe, elephants, wildebeest, and zebras are prevalent, with lions, cheetahs, and leopards sighted occasionally.
Accommodation
Small and intimate, the five spacious guest tents feature en-suite bathrooms and a covered front veranda.
A zipper door separates the sleeping area from the bathroom, which includes a flush toilet and running water in the basin.
