Footsteps, Tented
Camp
|
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.
There are Over 450 species of birds
and 75 species of mammal, including; lion, buffalo,
elephant, wild dog, cheetah, zebra & giraffe, amongst
others.
The whole program is designed to insure an authentic
bush experience while never compromising on comfort.
The staff at Footsteps provides an excellent safari
that leaves you with many fond memories of your fleeting
glimpse of the Africa of old.
Evenings can be spent around the campfire,
enjoying the peaceful ambience under the stars.
