Introduction:

Delta Camp is offering guests to the Okavango Delta a unique opportunity to explore the unspoiled southern portions of Chief’s Islands on the Chief’s Island Walking Trail, a fully-serviced trail into the wilds of the Okavango. Guests will spend their first and last nights in the supreme comfort of Delta Camp itself, followed by a minimum of two nights, and a maximum of four, in a fly-camp set up specifically for the purpose on Chief’s Island. This is one of the world’s premier wilderness experiences, combining spectacular wildlife opportunities, true wilderness walking with fully qualified and local guides, and camping in comfort.

More on Delta Camp

Situated on the South Western edge of Chief’s Island in the heart of the Okavango Delta is Delta Camp - set in the forest of a large, beautiful and palm-studded island.

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.

Delta Camp adheres to a philosophy that guests may enjoy the “luxury” of their own private guide at no extra cost The guides are truly “locals” - this is a man of the swamp, born and raised in the area, and you will spend your days in his mokoro (dug-out canoe) and walking on some of the many islands in the area, taking in the magnificent scenery and light, and the abundant game- and bird-life of the Okavango.
Delta Camp is also one of a few establishments that accommodates children and thus families are most welcome.

Delta Camp engenders in its staff and guests alike an acute awareness of the ecological sensitivity of this magnificent area. Bio-degradable products have been sourced and are used, Careful separation and treatment of refuse ensures that nothing that is not fully bio-degradable stays on the island - light aircraft remove cans, bottles and the like from the Okavango altogether- thus the staff and guests are continuously contributing towards a healthier environment.

More on the Chief’s Island Walking Trail.

The main aim of this portion of the safari is to provide a highly personalized walking safari experience to guests, whilst focusing on each and every element of this marvelous eco-system. Guest numbers are limited to 6 at a time. The Southern portion of Chief’s Islands has no commercial camps/ lodges and is a pristine wilderness area. The entire Chiefs Island is widely regarded by many to be the very best place to view game in the entire Okavango delta.

Prior to departure guests will be asked to make a selection of favorite drinks to take along on the walking safari from the well stocked bar at Delta Camp. This will include soft drinks, beers, spirits and wines.

Guests will depart from Delta Camp, slowly making their way to Chief’s Island. Each professional guide at Delta Camp is assigned a young trainee who acts as assistant, porter and an extra pair of eyes to help spot some of the incredible wildlife we are bound to encounter.

The trainees will carry picnic goodies and guests’ personal items to enhance the guest experience whist walking on and around Chief’s Island. It is important to note that all game encountered will be on foot – and game generally takes flight when approached too close.

The campsites we use are all positioned to afford maximum comfort for guests – whilst camping out! Camp chairs provide seating under the shade of ancient trees. Accommodation is in dome tents with comfortable bedrolls and fine linen – ablutions are a simple bucket shower and a hygienic toilet. No need for alarm clocks here - a cacophony of sounds greets guests early each morning!

Meals are both creative and innovative and are served al-fresco under African skies by the camp cook.

Chiefs Island Walking Trail Camp

After a minimum of two nights, and a maximum of four camping on Chiefs Islands, guests return to Delta Camp for the last night.
