The word pelo means ‘heart’ – a fitting name because, from the air, the island on which Pelo Camp is situated is heart-shaped. It also lies deep in the heart of the Okavango Delta. The camp is completely eco-friendly, with solar power providing all energy requirements. The main area comprises a tented dining area and lounge situated under impressive wild date palms, jackalberry and natal mahogany trees, with a spacious deck overlooking the waterways. There is also a swimming pool, an outdoor boma area and a raised platform built onto an old anthill. Small and intimate, the five spacious guest tents have en-suite bathrooms and a veranda with outdoor shower. Activities focus on mokoro (traditional dugout canoe) excursions in the open, shallow floodplains as well as boating and island walks.
