Reasons To
Visit Botswana

  • Wetlands of the Okavango

    The Okavango Delta is a labyrinth of waterways linking secret lagoons and marshlands, where hippo splash in the water and elephants drink at the shallows. Boat trips take you to inaccessible locations and hidden islands for a glorious spot of solitude and wildlife spotting, before a relaxing sundowner drink amongst the reeds.

  • Big Cats & Safari Wildlife

    On a game drive in the Delta, Linyanti or Chobe, you soon discover Botswana’s phenomenal array of wildlife. Lions are often on the prowl in the morning while night drives increase your chances of spotting leopard and other nocturnal species. As well as the cats there are thriving populations of elephant, hippo, giraffe, buffalo and even wild dog.

  • Birds

    From the water birds of the Delta to the sand grouse of the Kalahari and flamingos on the Makgadikgadi Pans, Botswana is a twitcher’s paradise. Rare species like the Pel’s fishing owl, and African pygmy goose are commonly found, with a trip to Chobe, the Delta and the Kalahari offering an unrivalled level of ornithological interest.

  • Bushmen

    Bushman history is an intrinsic element in the evolution of humanity, and nowhere is this more apparent than in Botswana. Bushman communities have survived on the Makgadikgadi Pans and in areas of western Botswana for centuries. A visit there now allows you to interact with them, experiencing first hand how they cook, hunt, eat and live.

  • Mokoro Trips

    Slipping through the Delta's mazy waterways and tall papyrus in a mokoro is the most relaxing way to view game. Serenely moving along with only the gurgle of the water passing under your craft, you encounter lechwe grazing in the shallows, kingfishers perched on overhanging branches and crocodiles lurking in dark corners.

  • Salt Pans

    On the Makgadikgadi Pans you experience an ethereal lunar landscape unlike anywhere else in Africa. It is possible to see the curvature of the earth, sleep out under the stars, and at some times of the year watch a great wildlife migration. Although more thickly vegetated, Nxai and Tau Pans also offer unique landscapes and habitats.

Selinda Camp

Selinda Concession

Selinda Camp is located on a palm island with views of the Selinda Spillway, yellow floodplains and grey termite mounds and palm tree islands in the distance.

The camp has been totally rebuilt and refurbished with nine luxury safari tents raised up off the ground on polished wooden floors and under thatch.

Each tent has comfortable three-quarter size beds with fine linens, ceiling fans to keep you cool in the hotter seasons and dark wood furniture collected from around the world. The spacious bathrooms are en suite with huge stone baths and showers with brass fittings. Sliding doors allow for privacy or create an open-air bathroom feel as required. A large private veranda allows guests to relax and enjoy the views from camp.

The main lodge has a lounge and raised thatched dining area that overlooks the floodplains and the Spillway. There is also a raised deck for evening meals under the stars and a well stocked wine cellar. Above the cellar is a quiet reading area where guests can retire to read from the library and to enjoy the fine art selection of Beverly Joubert's images collected over the years from her work with National Geographic. Outside, the camp's plunge pool is surrounded by lush grass and is an ideal place to cool off on a hot afternoon.

Wildlife surrounds you at Selinda Camp. Tree squirrels run along the dusty paths and families of warthogs are usually around. At night small two wire fences are put up to stop the elephants coming into camp.

Activities include morning, evening and night game drives and walks in the surrounding area with expert guides. Often afternoon drives explore the Zibadianja Lagoon and Linyanti River. There are excellent game densities in the area and you're likely to have some very good viewing.
