SELINDA EXPLORERS CAMP SELINDA RESERVE, BOTSWANA

There’s an old saying that great things come in small packages. Selinda Explorers Camp is no exception! Perfectly formed, its “wow” factor lies in the experience it offers, treading in the footsteps of Livingstone and Selous, both of whom wandered right through the area in which the camp is situated. The expedition-style decor, with campaign furniture and vintage travelling trunks lends itself to an authentic, transient atmosphere to the camp’s traditional canvas tents.

Discover the hidden secrets of wild Africa in the time-honored tradition of the continent’s great explorers.

The camp is located on a remote stretch of the Selinda Spillway, close to the heart of the pristine 130,000-hecatre private Selinda Reserve. Under a canopy of towering jackalberry and mangosteen trees, the three custom-designed guest tents, plus the 2 bedroom family tent, embody the philosophy of exploration, sitting squarely on the earth, connecting guests directly with the pulse of the wild. They are spacious and stay true to the classic age of safari, when the journey was more important than the destination.

Rekindling the magic of an expedition camp of safaris gone by, hot and cold water are provided for the in-room basin sinks with a separate open-air en suite flush toilet and shower area.

Should the hopeless romantic in you prove too hard to resist, brass hipbaths can be portered to a nearby sandbank on the edge of the Selinda Spillway for a bath under stars – it doesn’t get more spectacular than that!

With the wildlife viewing activities mainly focused on guided walks and canoe trips followed by open vehicle wildlife viewing drives, this area is a wildlife hotspot which is home to huge herds of elephant and buffalo. It is here that lion, wild dog, sable and roan antelope are all spotted on a regular basis.

The wildlife viewing emphasis is on walking, seasonal canoeing, as well as open vehicle wildlife drives, ensuring you won’t miss the myriad of incredibly interesting details that the bush subtely offers you to experience.
