General Information:

Zarafa Camp is small four roomed luxury tented camp that located on the 300,000 acre Selinda Reserve in northern Botswana. This camp has to have one of the most spectacular sites of any camp in southern Africa. Every part of the camp overlooks the beautiful flood plains of the Zibadianja Lagoon. Wildlife, particularly elephant, is a common sight in front of and in camp. Built under giant jackalberry and ebony trees, the camp is very shady and cool. The camp must be the greenest luxury camp or lodge anywhere. Only recycled hardwoods and canvas was used in the construction and all the camps electricity (24/7) comes from its solar farm and a system of batteries and inverters

Accommodation:

A group of six guests can book off the camp for their exclusive use at no extra charge.  The camp’s remaining tent gets blocked off to allow that group full exclusivity.  The camp has a large common area with adjacent library under flowing canvas. We serve meals wherever possible on the deck overlooking the lagoon under shady trees.
