Two-person Canadian canoes sit in front of camp for use at any hour; a typical trip involves paddling downstream then walking back through riverine forest or meeting a vehicle for a drive. The four custom-designed semi-permanent canvas tents sit under African ebony and mopane, each on a slightly raised platform at ground level. All have a covered veranda, private bathroom with hot-water shower, flush toilet, and separate dressing area. A two-bedroom family tent holds four and offers two bathrooms. Guided walks trace the Spillway's edge and the forest canopy; rangers plan routes according to the length and pace you prefer. Safari drives run at first light and in late afternoon or evening. The camp sits in habitat where lion, leopard, cheetah, and African wild dog hunt regularly; giraffe, buffalo, roan, sable, and eland appear in concentrations that shift with the dry season. In late September the Selinda Reserve has been documented to hold up to 9,000 elephants. Bird life along the Spillway attracts listers year-round. The main area is a Bedouin-style lounge and separate dining room under canvas, with furniture made from recycled hardwood. You can arrange catch-and-release fly-fishing except during the January-to-February moratorium. A Young Explorers programme provides children with a pack for tracking wildlife and learning animal calls. The pool and bar sit within the camp footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"phasec-create","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43808527876155,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/28504_2Fgreatplains-botswana-selinda-explorerscamp-pool-1.jpg?v=1784350836"},{"product_id":"zarafa-camp-9987","title":"Zarafa Camp","description":"\u003cp\u003eSet on the edge of Zibadianja Lagoon, the source of the Savute Channel, Zarafa Camp holds just four tented suites within the private Selinda Reserve in northern Botswana. The reserve links the Okavango Delta to the Chobe and Savute corridors, and the lagoon draws buffalo and elephant in the hundreds through the dry months. Each suite runs to 305 square metres of raised deck and canvas, set apart from its neighbours at the forest's edge, furnished with pieces built from recycled hardwood. A separate two-suite villa, the Dhow Suite, operates independently with its own lounge and staff. Construction favoured reclaimed timber and canvas throughout; camp power comes from a solar plant, and biogas units turn kitchen waste into cooking gas. It is a quiet operation, run on its own terms. Game drives carry no more than eight guests and range freely across morning and afternoon light, with picnic brunches delivered to the vehicle on request. A pontoon boat, the HES Zib, carries guests onto the lagoon for sundowners among hippo and elephant when water levels allow. Each suite comes fitted with a camera kit, binoculars, and a telescope on its private deck for reading the night sky. Wild dog regularly den nearby each dry season. Check-in runs from 2pm, checkout by 11am.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WETU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43868351889467,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/AHRPTWkEQg-kHgxS-4ZdR5gUb7SOvwrBl5S1t4lEhVcCtaILp6SX1lF2wv6iMajYhWeIg4pnrQ-4mbqWgEXbAiAIyZspIWtEtz8Hn2T-OVC4RLDyKzHaZdAynpabGJKdipq38bbbwBjMgg_w4800-h4800.jpg?v=1785179425"},{"product_id":"selinda-camp-9985","title":"Selinda Camp","description":"\u003cp\u003eArrival at Selinda Camp usually comes by boat, gliding onto the Selinda Spillway where it feeds the Linyanti River. The camp sits inside a private reserve in Botswana's remote north-west, a stretch of woodland and floodplain known for its elephant herds and for the wild dogs that den nearby. Guides here track a resident lion pride, once filmed for a National Geographic documentary by the camp's founders, alongside regular leopard and hippo sightings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a small camp. Three suites stand under thatch, each with its own veranda, plunge pool, and an indoor bathroom finished in brass and cotton linen. Two elephant sculptures greet guests at the entrance, part of a design built around water, air, earth, and fire, and referencing the camp's mixed European, Mokololo, and Bayei roots. Days run on safari drives, guided walks, and boating when water levels allow, with catch-and-release fishing offered mid-year and birding strong from November through April, when species diversity across the reserve peaks. A spa sits above the camp's wine cellar.
