In the Selinda Reserve in northern Botswana
Few camps rival the location of this little gem, overlooking the crystal waters of Zibadianja Lagoon
Botswana’s first Relais & Châteaux property (now joined by the new Duba Plains Camp), Zarafa Camp is among the most remote and exclusive camps in the whole of the Okavango Delta. It is located on the far eastern edge of the private 130,000 hectare Selinda Reserve, where it is one of only two camps (the other being Zarafa’s much larger sister property, Selinda Camp). Here it enjoys an enviable position on the edge of the huge Zibadianja Lagoon, the source of the Savute Channel and the link between the Linyanti and Okavango water systems.
While Zarafa Camp as a whole is small, its individual tented suites are huge. There are just four of these suites, identical marquee tents built on raised wooden platforms constructed from recycled railway sleepers. They are set on the edge of the lagoon, sheltered under giant ebony and ivory trees.
The activities available at Zarafa Camp include day and night game drives and short guided walks accompanied by armed guides. Water activities, including boat safaris and fishing, are available when the water levels are high, but game-viewing activities are predominantly land-based.

Our Difference
The Far & Wild Community...
We think that the best people to talk about an experience are those directly linked to it. Our website and brochures let the ‘real experts’ show their stuff… local experts, travellers & industry insiders. Look out for the coloured markers all around the site... they mean that you are reading something contributed directly by a person from one of these different parts of the community we are part of.
The best memories aren’t simply places and hotels, they are made up of experiences and people… so we connect with local communities, and strive for sustainable travel to make your holiday special
