About
Welcome to Pel's Island Camp, a hidden gem nestled in the Okavango Delta, Botswana. Our lodge derives its name from the elusive Pel's fishing owl, a rare and captivating bird found in the Delta's lush wilderness. The inspiration behind our name stems from a remarkable encounter—the founder's first night at the site, where he was graced with the extraordinary sight of the Pel's fishing owl, nesting in the very trees upon which our lodge now stands. This serendipitous discovery embodies the essence of Pel's Island Camp: a place of rare beauty and unique experiences. Situated on an island in the Delta, our camp offers guests an unparalleled opportunity to immerse themselves in the tranquility and splendor of this pristine natural environment. Come, join us, and embark on an unforgettable journey into the heart of the Delta.
