Location
Okavango Delta, Botswana

"Pelo” means "heart" in Setswana, the native language of Botswana, and this exclusive camp is located on an island in the heart of the Okavango Delta. A birder's paradise, Pelo is surrounded by riverine channels, lush vegetation and native trees, including wild date palms, jackalberry and Natal mahogany. The central lounge is built on a raised platform with elevated views of the surrounding channels and offers excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. The camp’s five spacious canvas tents have wood floors, screened windows with shades that can be rolled up or lowered, lounge area with writing desk, comfortable bed with fine linens, ceiling fan, coffee and tea station and en suite bathroom. Decorated in natural shades with bamboo accents, each guest tent also has a private veranda, electrical outlets including USB ports, and a digital safe. Gourmet meals are served al fresco overlooking the delta, with the option of dining in a screened-in area. Guests typically arrive to camp by boat, and once there, the prime activities are 4x4 wildlife drives and excursions by boat and mokoro, the traditional wooden dugout canoe used in the delta (water levels permitting).
