Zarafa Camp is an intimate, four room exquisite tented camp located on the private 130,000 hectare Selinda Reserve in northern Botswana. Overlooking the crystal waters of Zibadianja Lagoon, every area of camp has a magnificent view. The lagoon is also the water source for a tremendous population of wildlife – dry season sightings boast buffalo and elephant by the hundreds.

Home to some of the classic species, such as leopard, lion, elephant, buffalo, Red lechwe, zebra and giraffe, it is also a refuge for some of the more uncommon species such as African wild dog (which usually den each dry season near camp), cheetah, roan and sable. And for birders, it will not disappoint. Each guest has use of Swarovski binoculars and a Canon 5D with 28-135mm lens for their stay. The Land Cruisers are specially designed for photography and the HES Zib, Zarafa’s special pontoon boat, is an utterly unique experience. The 275 sq. foot deck is complete with couches, a dining area and bar where guests can comfortably enjoy floating brunch or sundowners while watching hippos and elephants in the water.

The large spacious guest tents are under beige, flowing canvas, with canopy ceilings and completely open (yet netted) sides. Decking around the tent leads to the private plunge pool and an outdoor shower, all with views of pristine Botswana wilderness. A curio shop satiates those who need retail therapy. In-room massages are also available.
