As you continue your research into Okavango Delta water-based camps, it’s worth noting that all accommodation in the Okavango Delta is graded by the Botswana Tourism Organisation. If you use the BTO in your research, please bear in mind that whilst they’re able to provide an indication of the quality of each camp, it’s extremely difficult to use a standard grading system to get across the ambiance and levels of personal service available at these unique camps.
