Location
Okavango Delta, Botswana

Nat Hab's Pelo Camp offers true seclusion in a remote corner of the Okavango Delta. Set on a heart-shaped island ("Pelo" means "heart" in Setswana, the native language of Botswana) surrounded by permanent waterways, the camp is fully immersed in nature, with no other visitors or lodges nearby. Wildlife is constant—elephants wade through the shallows, lechwe dart across channels and fishing-owls call at dusk from the canopy.

The camp features five spacious canvas tents that blend rustic elegance with quiet comfort. Each tent is completely private, with an en suite bathroom and a shaded front veranda that opens onto uninterrupted views of the Delta’s floodplains. Mesh sides allow cross breezes.

Guests typically arrive to camp by boat, and once there, the prime activities are 4x4 wildlife drives (water levels dependent) and excursions by boat and mokoro, the traditional wooden dugout canoe used in the delta (water levels permitting). Relax in the lounge between outings or refresh in the pool as wildlife wanders by.

Meals are casual, fresh and shared in open-air settings—often under a canopy of jackalberry trees or around the fire. Expect flavorful salads, grilled meats and seasonal dishes, all served in peaceful, natural surroundings.

Pelo Camp is entirely solar powered and constructed with sustainable materials. Its low-impact design and small scale ensure minimal disturbance to the ecosystem, privacy and immersion in one of Africa’s richest wetland habitats.
