Bill Burns visit with Desert & Delta Safaris @desertdelta @BotswanaTrek "The Delta" of Desert & Delta Safaris Camp Okavango - Part 2 Go on Safari in Botswana with Desert and Delta in Botswana's Okavango Delta Camp Okavango Our FAM Posse was now poised to move on and say goodbye to the staff. From the landing strip at Leroo La Tau, we’d make our way in the afternoon sun and fly on to our next destination at Camp Okavango, nestled in the middle of Botswana’s Okavango Delta. The Okavango Delta was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2013. Camp Okavango was the first camp to be established here. As our pilot makes the turn to line up for our landing, I see a grassy well-manicured landing strip, not a hard calcrete runway, rather a fairway to land on and a few divots where the landing gear strikes the runway. As we deplane, Camp Okavango’s sign at the landing strip said it all. in its rustic nature, it drips authenticity. We are escorted onto the freshly oiled raised walkway with long radiused paths that lead to the mothership. These paths were built in a way as to go around trees, thus keeping in line with the sustainability ethos each camp adheres to. We approached the center and were met by more warm faces. We could see there’s a large tree in the center of the camp with an inclusive take-what-you-want bar on the other side of the tree trunk. Each elevated pathway to our suites extended from the center tree out like branches. It was as if Camp “O” was an eco-system within another grande eco-system of the Okavango. Well done Desert and Delta! The raised structures allow wildlife to pass through unhindered —— we are in a wildlife zone! I
