Selinda Camp, a flagship of Great Plains Conservation, offers an intimate and artfully designed safari experience in northern Botswana’s 130,000-hectare Selinda Reserve.
Location: Nestled along the banks of the Selinda Spillway, where the Okavango Delta meets the Linyanti River system, Selinda Camp provides a remote yet accessible base for exploring one of Botswana's most pristine ecosystems. The reserve is home to large herds of elephants, African wild dogs, and the famed Selinda lion pride, featured in National Geographic’s “Birth of a Pride” documentary. As a result, this Relais & Châteaux member camp is renowned for its elephant-inspired design, exceptional wildlife viewing, and commitment to conservation.
Rooms: The camp features three expansive suites, each thoughtfully designed to blend classic safari aesthetics with modern comforts. Inspired by explorer David Livingstone, the suites incorporate nautical elements, salvaged wood, and rope textures. Each suite boasts a private veranda with a plunge pool, indoor and outdoor showers, a deep brass bathtub, and air conditioning. Guests are provided with professional camera equipment and binoculars for use during their stay, with images downloaded as a complimentary keepsake.
Amenities: The main area of Selinda Camp includes a dining area, lounge, and a private spa offering a range of treatments. The camp's design reflects the five elements - Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, and Metal - creating a harmonious atmosphere that complements the surrounding wilderness.
Activities: Guests can partake in a variety of activities, including morning and evening game drives, guided bush walks, boating excursions (seasonal), and birdwatching. The diverse habitats of the Selinda Reserve support a rich array of wildlife, offering opportunities to observe species such as leopards, cheetahs, sable antelopes, and numerous bird species.
Sustainability: Selinda Camp operates with a strong conservation ethos, emphasising low-impact tourism and community engagement. The camp's design minimises environmental impact, and a portion of the proceeds supports local conservation initiatives and community development projects.
Selinda Camp offers a luxurious and immersive safari experience, combining exceptional wildlife encounters with thoughtful design and a commitment to conservation.
