overview

Situated in Botswana's private and barely-visited Selinda Reserve and overlooking the remote Zibalianja Lagoon, Zarafa Camp enjoys arguably the best views of any camp in Botswana. Selinda lies between the far northern Linyanti Swamps and the Okavango Delta and boasts a magnificent cast of wildlife that includes all the big cats and major predators, huge elephant and buffalo herds and a wide variety of antelope and other classic African animals.

Zibalianja Lagoon is home to high concentrations of hippo and is the only place in Africa where lion are known to hunt these giants with any success. Explore this secluded wilderness on exciting day and night game drives and guided walking safaris. Alternatively, sit back and marvel at passing wildlife from the shaded comfort of your veranda or relax on the pontoon boat that makes trips on the lagoon.
