Client comments

"... 'thank you' for arranging the wonderful safari Alexandra and I took...verything was perfect! We enjoyed ourselves immensely! We loved each lodge and camp and we saw so many animals, we were thrilled. We would love to return to Botswana someday and, in the meantime, we will encourage all of our friends to make the trip and to have Uyaphi Safaris arrange it for them. We couldn't have been more pleased.Thank you so much!... "

Camp information:

Selinda Camp is situated in The Selinda, a 1350km2 private reserve that straddles the Selinda Spillway. This ephemeral waterway links the Okavango Delta in the west to the Kwando/Linyanti river system in the east. Here are found the game-rich floodplains of the Selinda and the Zibalianja Lagoon - source of the Savute Channel.

The camp is built on a shady island overlooking the waters of the eastern Selinda Spillway. Its 9 large, luxury tents are erected under cool thatch canopies, with all units having exceptional views across palm studded floodplains. Each tent has en-suite facilities, including a stone bath that is a highlight of the bathrooms. The bathroom is uniquely "open air" with lots of natural light, yet is screened and virtually bug-proof. The tents which accommodate 18 guests are spacious and beautifully appointed with furniture and features that have been collected from around Africa. Four-poster mosquito nets and overhead fans are standard. The main area comprises a series of expansive decks that invite soaking up the spectacular views and wildlife that are a visual constant of the camp. The design of the main area is such that there is never a barrier to these views: whether guests are relaxing in the lounge, having brunch under the cool shade of the uniquely designed thatched roof, or sampling the fine cuisine of a 3-course dinner on the open "star deck". Set apart from the main area is the photo/art gallery built above a temperature-controlled wine cellar and curio shop. Guests can also enjoy a small plunge pool and the traditional campfire.

Daily activities revolve around morning, afternoon and night game drives with experienced professional guides in custom built 4x4 Toyota Land Cruisers. Short walks from camp are encouraged. Accompanied by an armed professional guide (all walking guides are in possession of a Botswana "Full Professional Guide" licence), these walks give guests the chance to "touch the Earth" and be introduced to some of Africa's less prominent. The Selinda is host to a wide variety bird species (300+) and wildlife, including several species of antelope, hippo, buffalo, zebra, giraffe, cheetah, wild dog, lion and plenty of elephant. Night drives allow guests to see such nocturnal species as the small cats, porcupine, springhare, hyaena and perhaps even the elusive leopard

Game Viewing:

The Selinda is characterised by its game-rich floodplains which are host to a variety of antelope, zebra, giraffe, cheetah, wild dog, lion and plenty of elephant. Game drives are fruitful with a variety of antelope, zebra, wildebeest, giraffe and buffalo to be seen. Predator viewing is exceptional including the hippo-killing lions of Selinda, leopard, wild dog and cheetah.
