Wilderness Pelo
Wilderness Pelo is an intimate, water-based camp located on a heart-shaped island deep within Botswana's pristine Okavango Delta. The camp embodies the essence of a true delta experience, offering guests the chance to explore the region's labyrinth of waterways by traditional mokoro or boat, surrounded by tranquil lagoons and papyrus-lined channels.
The Camp
Wilderness Pelo is a small, water-based camp offering an intimate retreat with just five comfortable tents. Each tent is raised on wooden decks, designed to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings. The tents feature en-suite bathrooms, private verandas, and open-air showers, allowing guests to feel connected to the wilderness. The camp’s design embraces simplicity and eco-consciousness, with an emphasis on minimal environmental impact while offering comfort and privacy.
Dining Experience
Dining at Wilderness Pelo is an experience in itself. The camp’s culinary offerings reflect both local and international influences, prepared fresh daily with locally sourced ingredients. Guests enjoy meals in the main dining area, which opens up to panoramic views of the delta, creating an ambiance that complements the natural setting. Whether it's a bush breakfast after a morning mokoro trip or a candlelit dinner under the stars, every meal is thoughtfully crafted to enhance the wilderness experience.
Activities
As a primarily water-based camp, Wilderness Pelo offers a unique perspective of the Okavango Delta. Mokoro excursions allow guests to glide silently along the channels, observing wildlife such as hippos, crocodiles, and a variety of bird species. Game drives and bush walks can also be arranged, adding a terrestrial dimension to the exploration. The area is known for its rich biodiversity, making it a haven for birdwatchers and photographers alike.
