Footsteps

A rustic yet intimate camp nestled in a forested area on the banks of the lagoon in the Shinde area, Footsteps Camp is a hidden gem offering the realest of African safari experiences. The camp may be simple but the personal and attentive service here more than makes up for the bucket shower. The food is prepared in the ‘bush kitchen’ and is truly superb; dine al fresco with the view of a lifetime. The camp also offers a Young Explorer’s Club in which families can book out the camp exclusively and enjoy a tailored family safari with many exciting activities to keep the kids busy, such as making bow and arrows, tracking animals, learning to cook on open fire and playing football with the camp staff (min age limit).

Client Reviews

  • Amazing safari experience!

    Our time at Footsteps was the best family vacation we have ever taken! The team treated us like family, yet better, as they exceeded all expectations that each one of us had. My husband and I brought our 22, 20, and 18 year old kids as well as my mother. Noah and Rapz, our guides, ensured we saw every animal possible such as multiple cheetahs, lions, elephants, giraffes, hippos, zebras, crocodiles, honey badgers.

  • Amazing experience

    Just returned from Footsteps where we spent my husband’s 70th birthday. What to say? Absolutely amazing. This is our second visit and we were a little concerned that it would not live up to the last time. No need it was even better, if that’s possible. The accommodation is rustic which is what the experience is about.

  • Simply Excellent

    This is one of the best camps at the Okavango Delta, run by Kerr & Downing. Everything was first class. New vehicles, well trained and friendly staff, excellent food, well stocked kitchen and bar. Our guides Opie and Kelly were very experienced and knowledgeable. Good sense of humor.
