Selinda Explorers Camp

Okavango Delta

Botswana

Log Out

Selinda Explorers Camp is located in the 320,000-acre Selinda Reserve of northern Botswana. It is built on the banks of the Selinda Spillway, about one hour west of its sister camp, Selinda. The camp’s focal point is the Bedouin-style main area with a lounge and separate dining room. The four guest tents built under the shade of the riverine forest provide comfort in the traditional safari style.

Each tent offers guests a well-appointed bedroom, a covered veranda, a private bathroom with hot water showers and a flush loo. All the guest tents are at ground level, on slightly raised platforms. All tents are at ground level, including the main lounge and dining area.

It is an unassuming but excellent small camp which offers a relaxed safari style, complemented by good staff and professional service. The camp sits in a prime predator habitat, and there is a good chance of seeing wild dogs as well as antelope such as sable and roan; in the dry season, vast herds of elephant concrete here, and there is phenomenal bird life along the Spillway’s banks.From here you can enjoy game drives, walks, boating (water level dependent), tracking, birding and other activities. Catch and release fishing is possible from March to December.

About This Area

The Okavango Delta was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014. It is the world's largest inland Delta. During the flood season, waters push into Botswana from Angola, transforming the Kalahari into a lush oasis teeming with life.

The Delta is home to a wide variety of vegetation, including reed beds, papyrus swamps, and grasslands. These provide habitat for an astonishing array of wildlife, from large mammals like elephants, buffaloes, lions, leopards and hippos, to crocodiles, teeny frogs, fish, and numerous bird species. It is a thriving ecosystem adapted to its seasonal fluctuations.

The water experience includes gliding silently through the Delta's channels as you are poled along in "mokoros" or canoes and exhilarating adventures in much faster motor-powered aluminium speedboats. The land experience usually occurs in open Landrovers centering around wildlife with walks in some areas
