Tall, graceful palm trees mark the location of Wilderness Pelo, while the island’s distinctive shape is instantly recognisable from the air. ‘Pelo’ is the local word for heart, and guests instantly fall in love with this tiny, tranquil island hideaway.
One of the smaller camps in Botswana, Wilderness Pelo has five tents with private verandas and magnificent vistas of the surrounding Okavango. The emphasis at Wilderness Pelo is on mokoro excursions – a smooth, silent way to connect both with the finer details of the Okavango Delta and the rich heritage of the people of this region.
INSIDER'S TIP: Watch the comings and goings of wildlife from the comfort of the camp and by mokoro – hippos, lechwe and sitatunga among many other water-loving creatures.
