Is the Zarafa Camp for Me?

Zarafa Camp is an intimate, four-room, exquisite tented suite camp located on the 130,000-hectare Selinda Reserve in northern Botswana, an area linking the Okavango Delta and the Chobe/Savute corridors.

Its villa, the Dhow Suites at Zarafa, consists of two tented suites and a private main area and operates entirely independently of the main camp. Few camps rival the location of this little gem, Botswana’s first and only Relais & Chateaux property.

Overlooking the crystal waters of Zibadianja Lagoon, the source of the famous Savute Channel, every area of the camp has a magnificent view.

The lagoon is also the water source for a tremendous population of wildlife – dry season sightings boast buffalo and elephants by the hundreds.

Zarafa Camp and The Dhow Suite at Zarafa are the brainchild of the founders of Great Plains Conservation, who pooled their collective experience on safari to create what they deemed to be the best and most environmentally innovative camp.

Zarafa has succeeded in successfully retaining a clearly African feel while balancing that delicate relationship between personal and informal and romance and adventure.

Zarafa Camp has no equal in terms of its environmental credentials and its careful appointments.
