The private reserve ensures uncrowded wildlife encounters throughout the year.
Guided Walking Safaris
Walking safaris provide an intimate way to experience Botswana’s wilderness. Accompanied by highly experienced professional guides, guests discover animal tracks, indigenous plants, birdlife, and the fascinating smaller details of the bush that are often missed from a vehicle. Consequently, every walk offers a deeper understanding of this remarkable ecosystem.
Boat Safaris
When seasonal water levels allow, guided boat safaris explore the Selinda Spillway and surrounding waterways. Cruising quietly through this beautiful wetland offers close encounters with hippos, crocodiles, elephants, and abundant birdlife while showcasing a completely different perspective of the reserve.
Night Game Drives
Because Selinda Camp is located within a private reserve, guests can enjoy exciting night drives in search of elusive nocturnal wildlife. Civets, genets, aardwolves, porcupines, bush babies, and hunting predators provide unforgettable after-dark safari experiences unavailable in Botswana’s national parks.
Birdwatching
The diverse habitats of the Selinda Reserve support an impressive variety of birdlife throughout the year. African fish eagles, saddle-billed storks, kingfishers, bee-eaters, hornbills, herons, and numerous birds of prey make the area a paradise for birdwatchers and wildlife photographers alike.
