Selinda Explorers Camp – Authentic Safari Adventure in Botswana’s Selinda Reserve
Introduction
Selinda Explorers Camp offers an authentic and adventurous safari experience in the heart of Botswana’s Selinda Reserve. Part of the Explorers Collection by Great Plains Conservation, this intimate tented camp focuses on low-impact luxury, meaningful wildlife encounters, and immersive exploration. With just a few guest tents along the banks of the Selinda Spillway, it’s ideal for travellers who value simplicity, style, and a deep connection with nature.
Location – Selinda Reserve, Northern Botswana
Situated within the 130,000-hectare Selinda Reserve in northern Botswana, Selinda Explorers Camp enjoys exclusive access to a private wilderness corridor linking the Okavango Delta with Chobe National Park. The camp is shaded by towering jackalberry and mangosteen trees, overlooking the seasonal Selinda Spillway, a magnet for elephants, predators, and birdlife alike.
The Camp – Luxury Safari Accommodation in Botswana
Selinda Explorers Camp features just four guest tents, styled with a nod to vintage East African expeditions. Each canvas suite is designed to enhance the wilderness experience while maintaining comfort and elegance. Features include:
– En-suite bathrooms with hot-water bucket showers and flush toilets
– Private verandas with views of the river and floodplains
– Handcrafted furniture, writing desks, and campaign-style décor
– Lounge and dining areas under canvas, with fire pit for evening storytelling
The light footprint and intimate layout create an ideal base for private, slow-paced, and thoughtful safaris.
