Zarafa Camp

Set on the banks of the Zibadianja Lagoon within the private Selinda Reserve of northern Botswana, Zarafa Camp offers one of Africa’s most exclusive and refined safari experiences. Combining exceptional luxury with a deep sense of place, the camp is designed for travelers seeking privacy, comfort, and an authentic connection to the wilderness.

Accommodations

Zarafa Camp features just four expansive tented suites, each beautifully crafted to blend classic safari elegance with modern indulgence. Every suite includes:

  • Spacious interiors under a flowing canvas canopy with polished wooden floors and bespoke furnishings

  • A private lounge area and bedroom with a copper claw-foot bathtub and en-suite bathroom

  • Outdoor deck with a private plunge pool and panoramic views over the lagoon

  • Fireplaces for cool evenings and subtle touches that reflect the spirit of exploration and romance

The main camp area includes a library, dining tent, and comfortable lounge opening onto sweeping views of the surrounding floodplains—creating a serene atmosphere for relaxation between game drives.

Activities

With access to the rich ecosystems of the Selinda Reserve, Zarafa offers a diverse range of private and personalized safari experiences:

  • Game Drives: Explore by day or early evening in search of elephant, lion, leopard, wild dog, and large herds of buffalo, often visible right from camp.

  • Walking Safaris: Guided walks provide an intimate perspective on the region’s flora, fauna, and tracking traditions.

  • Boating: Seasonal excursions on the Zibadianja Lagoon reveal a peaceful side of the reserve, ideal for birdwatching and photography.

  • Photography: Each suite includes professional Canon camera equipment for guests’ use, reflecting the camp’s photographic heritage.

Additional Amenities

  • Dining: Exquisite, chef-prepared meals served in the elegant dining area or alfresco on the deck, complemented by fine wines from the camp’s curated cellar.

  • Intimate Atmosphere: With only four suites, Zarafa ensures an exclusive and personalized experience with exceptional service.

  • Sustainability: As part of Great Plains Conservation, the camp operates with a strong commitment to environmental responsibility and community partnership, using solar power and recycled materials throughout.

Blending world-class luxury, privacy, and an unwavering dedication to conservation, Zarafa Camp embodies the essence of the Great Plains safari experience—sophisticated, soulful, and deeply connected to the wild heart of Botswana.
