Selinda Camp
Tucked away on a palm-dotted island overlooking the winding Selinda Spillway, Selinda Camp occupies a tranquil corner of northern Botswana where the Okavango Delta meets the Linyanti and Kwando river systems. This water-rich environment supports a remarkable diversity of wildlife and offers one of the most private and exclusive safari experiences in the region. With just three guest tents and no surrounding lodges for miles, Selinda Camp is the ideal destination for travelers seeking seclusion, comfort, and unhurried encounters with nature.
The camp’s design takes full advantage of its position on the spillway, where floodplains stretch out in every direction, attracting wildlife year-round. Guests can expect to see everything from herds of elephant and buffalo to zebra, lechwe, giraffe, and the predators that follow in their wake—including lion, leopard, cheetah, and wild dog. The Selinda area is also known for its birdlife, particularly around the wetlands, and for sightings of rare nocturnal species like serval, porcupine, and springhare.
Selinda Camp offers accommodation in just three spacious, beautifully furnished canvas-and-thatch suites. Each suite is built on a raised wooden platform and reached via a sandy, lantern-lit path. Interiors are a blend of rustic charm and curated luxury, with hand-picked pieces collected from across the African continent. Each suite includes a private veranda with uninterrupted views of the floodplain, an airy bedroom and lounge area, and an en suite bathroom with mesh-lined canvas walls for full insect protection. The bathrooms are a highlight in themselves, featuring large stone soaking tubs and indoor showers that bring a spa-like quality to the bush.
The central area of the camp is open, inviting, and effortlessly stylish. Built from natural wood and thatch, it features expansive decks with wide-angle views of the water and floodplains beyond. The lounge offers plush seating for quiet afternoons, and breakfast is served around the traditional campfire—a ritual that continues into the evening with post-dinner drinks and fireside storytelling. A well-stocked art gallery, built above a temperature-controlled wine cellar, adds a unique touch of culture, while a private plunge pool, tucked away in a grassy alcove, offers a peaceful retreat during the heat of the day.
Facilities at Selinda Camp include:
- Three luxury canvas-and-thatch guest suites with private verandas
- Large en suite bathrooms with stone bathtubs and indoor showers
- Open-plan lounge and dining area with sweeping spillway views
- Traditional fire circle for breakfast and after-dinner drinks
- Art gallery above a wine cellar and a private plunge pool

ACTIVITIES
Selinda Camp offers a wide variety of guided safari activities, all tailored to the rhythms of the landscape and the preferences of each guest. Morning, afternoon, and evening game drives in open-sided 4×4 Land Cruisers explore the surrounding floodplains and woodlands, where sightings of elephant, lion, wild dog, leopard, and cheetah are common. The Selinda lions are particularly known for their rare behavior of hunting hippo, offering a remarkable spectacle for those lucky enough to witness it.
When water levels permit, boat cruises on the Selinda Spillway provide a peaceful alternative to land safaris. These excursions offer up-close views of aquatic life and waterbirds, as well as a chance to quietly glide past grazing antelope or elephants drinking at the edge. Catch-and-release fishing is also available for those looking to test their luck on the water.
Short guided bush walks allow guests to learn about the smaller, often overlooked aspects of the ecosystem—tracks, birds, plants, and insects—while gaining a deeper appreciation for the interconnectedness of life in the wilderness. For quiet afternoons, a raised hide overlooks a nearby waterway and provides an ideal location to watch passing wildlife undisturbed, binoculars and camera in hand.
