A Luxurious Safari Experience In The Selinda Reserve of Northern Botswana

The absolutely magnificent Selinda Camp is situated in the 130,000 hectare Selinda Reserve, a vast private concession in the far reaches of northern Botswana.

A safari in the Selinda Game Reserve is all about the game viewing the exceptional wildlife and birdlife of the area. One of the last truly wild and remote wilderness areas is home large herds of elephants, antelopes and Cape buffalo, wild dogs, the famous Selinda lion pride, cheetahs and an elusive leopard or two.

Game drives, night drive walking safaris and canoeing excursions form part and parcel of one's safari experience.

Wrapped in a layer of luxury and surrounded by the wildlife-rich floodplains of the Selinda, this luxurious camp offers a private and exclusive experience for her guests, with only eight suites available at any one time.

Selinda Camp is only accessible by air, either by scheduled or private air charters.
