Located in the Shinde Concession deep in the Okavango Delta, this simple, semi-permanent camp offers an off-the-beaten-track wilderness experience
Set within a remote woodland area, Footsteps Across the Delta is a small, intimate camp offering an authentic and adventurous safari experience.
The emphasis here is on small group walking safaris, and with its incredible setting, authentic bush camp atmosphere, highly experienced guides and friendly team, it is undoubtedly the best walking safari camp in the Okavango Delta.
Walking in the wilderness with an expert guide offers a unique opportunity to gain a greater understanding of the environment, and it is a completely different experience from sitting in a safari vehicle.
On your walks, your expert guide will teach you about plant life and the Delta's fascinating ecosystem, and they’ll also give you an insight into tracking wildlife.
You’re likely to see plenty of animals, including herds of elephants, buffalos, zebras, wildebeests and impalas, plus sightings of red lechwes are common. And along the permanent waterways of the Delta, you might be lucky enough to see the elusive sitatunga antelopes and more common reedbucks and waterbucks. The area is also known for its predators, including lions, leopards, cheetahs and hyenas.
Although the focus is on walking safaris, game drives, mokoro and motorboat excursions, and bird watching are also possible. However, for a complete Okavango experience, we recommend that you combine Footsteps Across the Delta with a stay at another camp where game drives are the main activity.
Note: This is a seasonal camp which operates between March-November.
Footsteps Across the Delta put great emphasis on sustainable and eco-friendly tourism practices at their camp, and they aim to offer a walking safari experience that doesn’t impact the habitat of the wildlife in the surrounding area.
The camp is semi-permanent and is set up in a way which has minimal impact on the environment, and they ensure that when they move the camp, they will leave no trace that they were ever there. The camp avoids using plastic and instead uses natural and recycled materials wherever possible, including stainless steel and glass water bottles.
