As the name suggests, Pelo means ‘heart’ in Setswana, & from the air, the island on which this beautiful camp is situated appears heart-shaped.
Experience Pelo Camp has been designed to respect the environment, so this light-footprint eco-friendly camp is built from natural materials, operating on 100% solar power & offering low-impact carbon-neutral activities.
Stay Accommodation at Pelo Camp consists of only 5 spacious tents looking out over the surrounding water. Each tent boasts an en-suite bathroom & veranda offering beautiful views over the bush.
The main area comprises a tented dining area & lounge situated under impressive jackalberry & mahogany trees. The raised viewing platform built onto an old anthill provides uninterrupted views over the wild.
Activities Guests staying at Pelo Camp can glide seamlessly along the waterways of the Delta in a traditional dug-out canoe called a mokoro & take in the abundance of water-loving wildlife & birds.
Their 12-seater boat allows up, close & personal encounters with animals such as red lechwe, elephant & maybe even spotted-necked otter.
During a walking safari, guests will learn about the River Bushman’s way of life in this area. Catch-&-release fishing with basic equipment is also on offer – season dependent.
