About the Camp
Pel’s Island Camp is situated on a secluded island just north of Maun, Botswana, approximately 70km away and a scenic 1 hour and 30-minute to 2 hour drive on both tar and sand roads. Bordering the iconic Moremi Game Reserve, the camp offers guests a peaceful bush escape surrounded by the natural beauty of the Okavango Delta region. The camp is located outside of the National Park, which means no park fees are to be paid.
Perfectly positioned for adventure and relaxation, Pel’s Island Camp is an ideal base for exploring Botswana’s wilderness, with the South Gate entrance to Moremi located about 3 - 4 hours away. Guests can enjoy an authentic safari atmosphere, abundant birdlife, breathtaking sunsets, and the tranquility of life in the bush while still being accessible from Maun.

Our story
Pel’s Island Camp takes its name from the Pel’s fishing owl — one of Africa’s rarest and most sought-after owl species, known for inhabiting remote wetland wilderness areas such as the Okavango Delta. On the founder’s very first night on the island, he experienced the extraordinary sight of a nesting pair in the very trees where the camp now stands.
Inspired by this rare encounter and the untouched beauty of the island, he chose to establish Pel’s Island Camp as a place where guests could experience the same sense of wonder, tranquillity, and connection to nature.
Today, Pel’s Island Camp remains a proudly family-run lodge, built on a passion for Botswana’s wilderness and authentic safari experiences
