Selinda Camp
Okavango Linyanti

Accommodation
Selinda Camp is small and luxurious, analogous to the concept of Zarafa and Duba Plains, and features only three suites plus the private 2-bedroom Selinda Suite. The camp occupies a truly beautiful spot where the Selinda Spillway meets the Linyanti River.

The guest tents are covered under thatch and feature large en-suite bathrooms, large private veranda and private swimming pool. Each guest tents is unique, designed with its own colour palette and theme. There is in some cultures a fifth element, ‘metal’, which is also incorporated into the design. Every space enhances what Livingstone would have had, what he would have travelled with and found.

In addition to the three main tents, the Selinda Suite (like its fellow Zarafa Dhow Suite and the Duba Plains Suite), consists of a two-bedroom tented villa. The Selinda Suite operates exclusively, as guests enjoy their own private vehicle, safari guide, chef, manager/butler and entrance to their residence.

Location
Selinda Camp is situated on the Selinda Spillway, which connects the Okavango waters and the north-easterly Linyanti and Kwando rivers during high floods. The water flows in either one direction or the other direction, depending on the water level. The land is so flat that some years have seen it flow in both directions! The environment is made up of various habitats, chiefly large open plains, ensuring a fantastic variety of wildlife.

Selinda Camp is only accessible by light aircraft. The camp is located approximately 25 minutes drive or boat journey (depending on the water level) from Selinda Airstrip. Flight time to Maun in a Cessna Caravan is 40 minutes, and 45 minutes to Kasane.

Selinda Camp is part of the private Selinda Concession (1,350 km²). Selinda Explorers Camp, Okavango Explorers Camp and Zarafa Camp are also part of this concession.

Wildlife
Huge herds of elephant roam the Selinda region during the dry season. They prefer to be close to the permanent waters of the Linyanti River and the Zibadianja Lagoon from July to October, when they surge onto the flat Selinda Plains from the mopane wooded hinterland.

The Selinda region is known for its resident lion and wild dog. The open plains also attract cheetah, which are often seen here. Very large herds of buffalo, leopard, hippo, crocodile, giraffe, zebra and many antelope may also be encountered.

Activities
Game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, night drives. Bushwalking from camp or vehicle is usually possible. Boat trips depend on water levels, but are usually possible during the dry season.

Because the camp is located in a private concession, night driving with a searchlight and off-road driving for special animal observation is allowed. Close-up shots are guaranteed.

Good to know
The owners of Great Plains are Beverly and Dereck Joubert, who became famous worldwide for their numerous wildlife films and photo books. www.wildlifefilms.co
