A remote, unpopulated paradise, of open plains, palm forests and mopane woodland in northern Botswana, the Selinda Game Reserve straddles an ephemeral spillway linking the Okavango Delta with the Linyanti Swamps to offer superb unrestricted big-game viewing.
Set on a shady island in the eastern reaches of the waterway, Selinda is a classically luxurious tented camp. Nine large tents with cool thatched canopies, funky open-air bathrooms and private verandas are furnished with a stylish simplicity that subtly complements the stupendous surroundings. Wildlife is almost part of the décor and the views from the camp unhindered, while gourmet dinners on the 'star deck' are canopied by the glorious constellations of Botswana's night sky.
A rich source of food and water for wildlife of all shapes and sizes, the Selinda floodplains host more than 300 bird species, plentiful elephant, wild dog, leopard and the region's unusual hippo hunting lion. With game drives night and day, walking safaris and a plunge pool for relaxing interludes, a safari here really is a taste of Africa off the beaten track.
