GREAT PLAINS SELINDA EXPLORERS CAMP – SELINDA RESERVE – LINYANTI

Selinda Explorers Camp is located in the 330,000 acre Selinda Reserve of northern Botswana and is built on the banks of the Selinda Spillway. This luxurious classic camp has just four custom-designed comfortable ensuite tents and is set under the shade of the riverine forest. The camp has been designed in the style of the early explorers both in philosophy and practice.

Enjoy game drives in the private Reserve, walking safaris and canoeing on the Selinda Spillway and relax in the afternoons under the canopy of African ebony and mangosteen trees.

Selinda Explorers Camp is ideal for those who would like to experience Botswana’s extraordinary wildlife but in the most private setting. The camp comes with a guide but also has a guide’s tent for an accompanying specialist guide. The camp guide will plan the whole itinerary for the duration of your stay or in conjunction with your specialist guide.

LOCATION

Selinda Explorers Camp is located in the Selinda Reserve in the Linyanti area of northern Botswana. Access is via a 45 minute light aircraft flight from Maun or 50 minutes from Kasane and a 50 minute game drive from the airstrip to the camp.

CAMP

Selinda Explorers tented camp is a unique and private classic East African safari camp with beautifully detailed campaign style furniture made from recycled hard woods and soft furnishings from Zanzibar and the East. The custom-designed semi-permanent tents have two rooms plus a veranda as well as a private open air ‘bustani bathroom’ with hot water showers and flush loo.

All tents are at ground level including the main lounge and dining area. This is an a simple, comfortable and relaxing camp, light on its footprint but heavy on its experiential luxury. The atmosphere of the camp is one of bush elegance with relaxed bohemian style complemented by attentive staff, private professional service and fabulous food.

ACTIVITIES

Camp sits in prime predator habitat in a hand-picked location. Lion, leopard and cheetah and the Explorers Pack of African wild dog hunt in the area regularly. Good densities of giraffe, buffalo (in the dry season) and all the antelope – including roan and sable and recently spotted eland – are possible sightings. At the peak of the dry season in late September the Selinda Reserve has been documented to hold up to 9,000 elephants and there is phenomenal bird life along the Spillway’s banks.

Game Drives (day and night) – Selinda Explorers Camp focuses primarily on the traditional safaris of walking and canoeing. Game drives are offered, both day and night but are a supplement to other activities as opposed to the emphasis.

Your drives will be planned for you so that you get the most out of your stay. The best times to be out are from first light for the morning drive, and in the soft light in the afternoon continuing until after dark. These are the times when most of the action is likely to happen and the photographic light is at its best.

Guided Walks – one of the core activities at Explorers is to enjoy a guided walk and a huge benefit of staying within the conservancies. Walks allow you to appreciate the stunning landscape around you on foot, peacefully, without the noise of engines. Usually, early morning or evening is the best time as the middle of the day is too hot to venture out of the shade. Wear good walking shoes, a hat, and neutral coloured clothing so as not to alarm the wildlife and take binoculars. Your guide will have water for you.

Canoeing – canoeing the Selinda Spillway is one of the most unique experiences in southern Africa. The two person Canadian style canoes are situated in front of the camp for use anytime. An ideal morning or afternoon trip would be to paddle down the spillway and to then walk back to camp or be met by a vehicle for a game drive on your return. Canoeing is seasonal and dependent on water levels in the Selinda Spillway.

Young Explorers Programme – Duba Plains Camp offers a full syllabus of bush craft skills for our young explorers. This is a complimentary programme and an extensive pack will be offered to eager children on arrival so they can learn about animal calls, how to track wildlife, and other facts and figures about the wild. At the end of a child’s stay the child will become a Young Explorer and Conservation Ambassador – ready to go out and tell the world about what they have learned and what they too can do to help protect this beautiful environment.
