The local village, Sedibana, is 30-45 minutes away from the camp. For over three decades, Delta Camp has formed strong ties between the village and its inhabitants. During this time, they have actively supported local development in the area. Many of Delta Camp’s staff members come from the neighbouring Sedibana Village and have been employed by the company for a minimum of 10 years, some more than two decades, including multiple generations of families who work at the camp.

Delta Camp generates revenue for the government and helps to police the resources against the depredations of those who don’t care for it. Through their guiding and camp experience, these locals help to create world-wide awareness and exposure of the resources within the Okavango Delta and greater Moremi Game Reserve.

The energy used at Delta Camp is generated via solar panel electricity, and where possible, the water is also heated this way. Delta Camp also ensure that the large fuel tankers do not cross floodplains and streams or cut through forests to deliver diesel for their generators and pride themselves on being a camp without any engines or motors. These staggering initiatives are driven by an unwavering dedication to preserve the natural environment, ensuring as minimal carbon emissions as humanly possible.

As the landscape of the Okavango is becoming more arid, the flourishing elephant population is putting increasing amounts of pressure on the old growth tree species inherent to the land, and as such, the landscape is changing dramatically.

Delta Camp, in addition to other Footsteps In Africa properties has established a tree welfare program, resulting in many of the old growth trees being wrapped with diamond mesh wire to protect them from the elephants. Additionally, trees in danger are being coated with a homemade paste that repels elephants and stops them from scarring and eventually killing the trees.
