Selinda Camp - Overview
Overview of Selinda Camp Botswana, Okavango Delta
The Selinda Spillway is a fleeting waterway that weaves through the Selinda Reserve in northern Botswana, flowing eastward from the Okavango Delta before branching into the Linyanti and Chobe rivers. After years of dormancy, this enigmatic waterway surged to life from the Okavango Delta, fueled by heightened rainfall and geological transformations.
Selinda Camp is beautifully situated along the banks of the Selinda Spillway, where it flows into the Linyanti River. Nestled within the exclusive Selinda Reserve, this secluded wilderness is alive with the presence of thousands of elephants, the rare wild dog, and the renowned Selinda Lion Pride – the captivating subjects of the National Geographic film, Birth of a Pride.
The camp’s décor embraces the essence of earth, fire, air, and water, creating a harmonious fusion of safari authenticity and luxurious touches. Expansive and robust canvas tents are adorned with thatch roofing and elevated on wooden decks, complete with private verandas for your personal piece of Africa.
The Selinda Reserve is home to an incredible array of wildlife that awaits your exploration on game drives in specially designed vehicles. These vehicles come equipped with fold-down screens, raised roofs, photographic bars, and multi-plug inverters to enhance your experience. Exciting walking safaris await, along with thrilling boating excursions on the Spillway, subject to water levels. Selinda’s expansive plains are perfect for cheetah, while the denser woodlands offer sanctuary for leopard. The region is renowned for its captivating wildlife, including elephants, lions, wild dogs, hippos, buffalo, and giraffes.
