Vast and unspoiled, the private Selinda Reserve links the Okavango Delta to the Linyanti and Savute river systems, embodying Africa’s true spirit and, more specifically, that of Botswana itself. Located within this remote wilderness are Great Plains Conservation’s Selinda Camp and Zarafa Camp. Designed in an ecologically friendly manner, Zarafa Camp consists of large, sumptuously appointed tented suites, recreating the atmosphere of the very first safaris in their traditional style. Selinda Camp brilliantly synthesises the meeting of cultures thanks to its luxurious suites. In this exciting region, you will be able to appreciate the countless wonders of Botswana’s wildlife; it’s a veritable breeding ground for rare animals where nature has so much to offer. You’ll have the great privilege of observing the famous lions featured in Birth of a Pride, the film directed by Derek and Beverley Joubert for National Geographic, as well as endangered African wild dogs, hippos bathing in the lagoons, and large herds of elephants grazing peacefully in the surrounding area. It is a magical show enriched by the most beautiful sunsets in the world.
