Footsteps Across the Delta is a walking
trail camp set on a private concession in the northern edge
of the Okavango Delta. A short trip in a light aircraft
wings you into the wilderness, where you meet your guides.
This program maintains the elegance
and eccentricity of the original African safaris under canvas.
The emphasis is on exploring this breathtakingly beautiful
and diverse environment.
Accommodations are in specially designed
twin bedded, insect proof tents with double fly sheets with
sewn-in floors. Each tent has its own bucket shower and bush
toilet, and a daily laundry service is provided.
Footsteps Across the Delta is a truly
unique way to experience the African wilderness. Here you
will spend your days exploring this fascinating area led
by your Professional Guide on foot, by mokoro (traditional
dugout canoe) and vehicle as required.
Days are planned as you go, beginning
with a full safety briefing and short walk to get you accustomed
to the bush and further exploring as the days unfold.
Every evening you return to camp
to enjoy a piping hot bush shower and the ambience of dining
by candlelight, relaxing by the fire and sleeping amidst
the sounds of the wilderness.
The bush kitchen, run by the chef,
who has many years experience working in the wilderness,
will astound you. The high standard of bush cuisine, includes
fresh fruits and vegetables, and selections of cheeses and
South African wines as well as a stocked bar, soft drinks
and bottled water.
