GENERAL INFORMATION

• Ideal for walking safaris in the Selinda Reserve
• Maximum 6 guests in traditional Meru style tents with en-suite facilities
• Africa's most endangered predators, the Wild Dog, is resident in the Selinda area

The Selinda Reserve joins the Okavango Delta with the Linyanti/Kwando waterways, the river systems close to the eastern boundary of Chobe National Park. The Reserve follows the Selinda Spillway, a dry river that connects the Okavango to the Chobe River. The Spillway flows only in years of high floods and high rainfall. The Selinda, covers some 1350 square kilometres. The camps are small and personal, where only a handful of guests can experience a big game safari in the finest African tradition. Selinda Camp is owned and operated by Linyanti Explorations and is the sister camp to Zibalianja Camp, also located nearby in The Selinda. Selinda is a derivative meaning "many small pools of water" in the Khoesan language of northern Botswana

A special area has been set aside in the Selinda Reserve especially for walking safaris. The walks take you along time-worn trails, through riparian forest and open plains. Typically, guests undertaking walking safaris, commence their safari at of one of the permanent camps (Selinda or Zibalianja), then break away onto the walk, which ends up three days later, at the other permanent camp for the last night. In total, this is usually a five day safari.

Activities include game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, as well as night drives with spotlights. The camp also offers occasional bush dinners.At certain times of the year, guests may enjoy boating and fishing on the lagoon. As a special activity, every full moon, guests have an opportunity to take part in the camp's monthly game counts
