A delightfully simple camp in a great location to explore on foot and by mokoro
You can be forgiven for wondering how this little camp came by such an interesting name. Grown out of Oddballs Camp (one of the few cheap and cheerful options available in the Delta these days), the Enclave is a small off-shoot which aims to give the same kind of exclusivity as a luxury camp while retaining all that is charming from the old safari days and remaining good value.
Five Meru-style tents on raised wooden platforms with bathrooms open to the trees look out over the wwaving grasses of the Delta. The camp itself is beautiful but the location is what makes this little place really worth visiting. Chief's Island lies at the heart of Moremi Game Reserve and was historically a royal hunting ground...and it's easy to see why.
The Enclave specialises in offering private guiding, where you guide is someone who has been brought up in this area and knows the terrain intimately. The best way to explore this area is on foot or in the time-honoured dug-out canoe.
Drinks are not included in the room rate.

The Moremi Game Reserve is centrally located in the Delta, encompassing some of the most valuable ecological territory. There are a number of camps and lodges within the park, and these definitely offer fabulous game viewing and some beautiful scenery. It's worth knowing that no walking or night drives are allowed within the reserve, so if you are keen to visit the Okavango, combine camps within the reserve with one or two in the equally wildlife-rich areas that surround it, which are mostly under private management.

Safaris in Botswana offer dramatic extremes. One the one hand, the lush landscapes of the Okavango Delta and the Linyanti/Chobe River systems, on the other, the beautiful other-worldly expanse of the Makgadikgadi Pans and the Kalahari Desert. The variety of habitats makes for varied animal and birdlife as well as beautiful scenery. Strict controls mean that Botswana safari camps and lodges are generally small, and due to the tricky logistics of operating in a delta or a desert, a safari here is seldom cheap, and it's important to know where to go if you are looking for that authentic safari experience.
