    Zarafa Camp – Great Plains

    Contact the agency

    Zarafa, the beloved

    Zarafa Camp, set facing a marvellous lagoon in the Okavango Delta, is reminiscent of the golden age of safaris. With just 4 splendid colonial-style tents and 1 exclusive 2-bedroom suite, "The Dhow Suite", this Relais & Châteaux property, a member of the Great Plains Conservation collection, offers you the opportunity to discover the abundant Selinda private reserve in northern Botswana, connecting the delta to the west with the floodplains of the Linyanti and Kwando to the east. In years of exceptional rainfall, you can witness a very rare phenomenon: seeing the spillway flow in both directions! The Selinda region is home to a wide variety of ecosystems (palm-dotted savannahs, waterways surrounded by dry land, and vast floodplains) which act as magnets for wildlife. On the edge of a delightful lagoon, Zarafa has set up 4 luxurious tents, sheltered under the canopy of indigenous trees, featuring a lovely bedroom, a bathroom with a copper bathtub and outdoor shower, a cosy lounge, and a wooden deck with a private plunge pool opening onto 180-degree views. The game drives will thrill you, giving you the chance to observe an abundance of wildlife. Children accepted from 8 years of age.

    THE EXPERIENCES

    • 4x4 safari, guided walking safari, boat safari
    • Swimming pool, in-room massage, gym

    THE EXTRAORDINARY

    The attraction of Zarafa is its lagoon, the starting point of the famous Savute channel, which during the dry winter months sometimes attracts impressive herds of elephants. Selinda is also home to many felines with astonishing behaviours: hippopotamus-killing lions or swimming cheetahs during the rainy season!

    ETHICS

    Selinda is owned by a couple of award-winning wildlife filmmakers and photographers based in Botswana. Their goal is to learn from nature and bear witness to its beauty in order to better protect it. Selinda has created an herbarium with duplicate specimens from the National Museum and concurrently conducts studies on herbivores. Selinda actively supports the "Great Plains Earth Academy"which offers accredited training courses based around environmental projects to young people in remote areas of the Delta.
