Your 5-Day Itinerary

Arrive at Maun airport on time for your scheduled charter flight to the camp. Arrive at the airstrip, road transfer via meandering game drive to the camp. Afternoon game activity and dinner. Your 2 night stay includes all meals, selected beverages and the scheduled game viewing activities. Zarafa Camp is located on the private 130,000-hectare (320,000-acre) Selinda Reserve. The Selinda Reserve links Botswana’s Okavango Delta with the Linyanti waterways, and every area of the camp offers stunning views over the Zibadianja Lagoon, the source of the Savuti Channel. The private Selinda Reserve is home to leopard, lion, cheetah, elephant, buffalo, red lechwe, zebra and giraffe. It is also a refuge for some uncommon species, such as African wild dogs, roan and sable. And for birders, the nearby African skimmer colony is a highlight. From camp, hippos are visible in the Lagoon, and elephants wander through regularly.
