Footsteps walking safari camp is located in the northern reaches of the Okavango Delta in northern Botswana, near the pokey out bit of Namibia. The camp is built in the Shinde concession. This concession has the best of both worlds, it has access to the permanent waterways of the Okavango Delta as well as some superb countryside for walking and game viewing on foot. The camp has to be accessed by light aircraft and the trip from the airstrip to camp can get really interesting during the annual flooding.

Footsteps is a walking safari camp - first and foremost - the camp does have a vehicle for game viewing at night and for approaching dangerous game which is normally located by the walkers and guides while on foot.

This is a safari experience for those who like to walk and want to work for their game viewing. Being on foot and following the tracks and sign of a pride of lions, a leopard or a herd of elephants can be really exciting as well as superbly rewarding if you can find the animals you have been following.

Secondly this walking safari experience is more intense and slower paced than a vehicle safari - you get time to enjoy an environment free of vehicle noise while the flora and small fauna help point you in the direction of bigger game.

The Footsteps walking safari experience is best suited to three or perhaps four days depending on what other experiences we have planned during your visit to Africa. Three days is best suited if we have planned for you to go on to one of the cooler safari camps for more wildlife viewing. Four days is better suited if we have planned for you to go on to safari experiences other than wildlife viewing.

Footsteps walking safari camp is a pure tented camp with no permanent structures. Camp consists of the main mess tent surrounded by three large insect proofed tents each with a bucket shower and short drop toilet. The camp caters for a maximum group size of six walkers.

The insect proofed tents are large enough to stand upright in and are equipped with real beds, mattresses, duvets and linen. The camp relie's on paraffin lights at night and the hot water is boiled on a fire and then brought to your shower and hoisted above your head by a pulley system.
